Why have you become so withdrawn? Detached… and confined yourself into your own world? or are you spacing out into another world?
The reason’s simple. I no longer feel a connection. And that I have to search for myself because I’m afraid not knowing who I am… I’m afraid that if I don’t take some time off to reflect or just to be alone.. I’ll lose myself forever. Emptiness makes me feel. Loneliness though unwanted is needed… it makes you realize many things… it makes you accept the things which can be both the reason for your laughs and tears. Loneliness makes you look forward to the smiles and laughter while immersed in tears. Sometimes, enlightenment comes when you are in your weakest point.
Why do I space out into another world? Simple, I am looking for that connection. I want to become one or part of something and if I don’t feel that anymore, it’s like I no longer exist. That connection makes me feel alive; it gives me a sense of belongingness— a drive to live. It gives me happiness that when there will come a time that I’m alone… I know that it won’t be that way for long… or if I have nothing to do, I know it’s temporary because the connection is there. It’s like a string to a kite that even if it’s far away it is still with you because of that string. But there will come a point when the kite won’t answer to my tugging or to my hold and that’s when the connection ends. I’m alone and God knows what or how I feel but I need it. I need to re-connect with myself and I do that when I withdraw myself from everything… until I find that connection again... I have to want to find that connection.
You like exploring but you are afraid of losing yourself. Isn’t that a contradiction? When you explore you find out new things and that means you forget some… change. Discover something that you are until that moment of discovery. It’s like a snake shedding its skin… when you explore you shed your skin and get a new one but you are still you.
It’s ok to explore and immerse yourself in any world that you like but never lose yourself in that world. Gnothi seauton. And I can only do that when I detach myself from everything.

Why then are we so curious of what others think of us? Why do we have to know ourselves through others?
Knowing oneself through the eyes of “others” is stupid. If you use the eyes of others to discover who you are, you’ll never know what and who you really are. You are submerging yourself in their own biases. You can never know what your own biases are and you can never look at things in your own perception. You will be looking at everything and everyone through the eyes of others. Your objectivity relies on the subjectivity of others.
