Human Relation

" You are the average of the five people you spend most time with . " 

isnt a symptom of lonliness being afraid of people? Believing humans can hurt, expose or humiliate us? While actualizing how can we still interact with neurotic family members/people without harming ourselves?

the symptom of loneliness has to do with neglect.  i found neglect is one of the most undermined forms of abuse.  we all have experienced what it feels like to be in someone's presence yet not feel understood or practically invisible like we're an alien who don't belong on this planet and in society.  for someone to accept us and have value for us, they first have to have personal value and accept themselves.  we all just reflect back to each other what's going on at the subconscious level, so we can learn and grow by seeing ourselves from different perspectives.  we're all alone/lonely to different degrees but together share this personal individual experience, since we're all going through it throughout our lives.

@AnTe What if we accept them so much their negative behaviours and thoughts influence us? 

[AnTe]

that simply means we lack self control and clear boundaries.  when we get emotionally triggered from unresolved past issues, everything becomes personal when it wasn't meant to be.
