what would you say, may be the consequences(good or no)from self-imposed isolation-preference for solitude?
i am asking this question-for my own sake.
i have lived as an isolationist for a considerable number of years, by now. i do not know if there was a particular reason, or reasons for having had made this decision...all i can say, is; i wanted to dedicate most of my time to art; my vocation.
i do not miss what is outside-for there, within that realm, is much brutality, much betrayal, much rudeness and crude disrespectful behaviour.
however-there is also beauty, and the opportunity to have as company, some very good and caring people.
though i have intensified and taken into more a rapid process-far as the different disciplines of my work's demands - i now wish to take part in the world again. though i am a bit :"rusty" at doing this-i am not afraid-knowing and consoled by acknowledging as true: "all beginnings are difficult."
however-i do have a nagging worry-that 8 years of nearly complete solitude-may have harmed me in some way-unbeknown to me-and that the consequences of my isolation will appear in such a frightening way...that i'll rush back to isolation again...except, this time for good!
therefore-this question to the forum: what would you say are may be the consequences of the isolation and solitude-i've made the decision to impose upon myself?
thank you very much!

Eight years is a long time, and you have set a president for/in your own subconscious, yet just because you question it also, perhaps it is time to branch out. I understand the reasoning at first, (even still there may have been more deep motives) and you are right, more violence is surely occurring. News, papers/TV & radio reflect this daily.Men are just as concerned actually these days. But when *anything is going on for *too-long, *(meaning *not in moderation,) it may be more than is healthy for all levels of the human being.For example: in moderation is my way; I tend to keep more to myself, in general, yet get out every day, interact also with whomever I come in sight with, saying Hi, how are you, if they have more to say, I let them, and usually have a comment or two also, myself. I go o out to shop, do errands, and even church, but it is a moderate way of life, not especially interested in clubs, or social organizations. Did that, been there. Yet, I don't hide, or become reclusive, ever! Read a lot, know what's public in news,and do have some contact with family or friends, so I'm always friendly and outgoing in that way. Being into one the *self too much can, damage or contort anyones thinking, and reflections, as well as the empathy they acquire, and need to stay in balance, with the world, and themselves. *after a while.
Source(s): Being able to stay sensitive enough is important, (it reflects back to how you reason even for yourself!) So, it's really what sort of payoff you seem to be getting, but I'd rather think now, at this point, if you are questioning it all, perhaps it is time to branch out, share more, and start enjoying what life is out there to help make you feel happier, just do it slowly, tread carefully, because rushing out, getting too excited about anything may just squash your own judgments as you go along. We all need to share, love & feel fulfilled, *phases come & go, (so just be sensitive to where you are now), *it won't hurt, & might just bring more joy! Good Luck, hope you find peace being among us all, (me, I'm still partial! Stick my large-toe out several times a *week, but, I' not *consumed by society!) - Anonymous4 years ago
a thorough concept, which jogs my memory of one of verses of Rumi the place he says something like, 'in case you closed your eyes, your ears, and your mouth, then giggle at me in case you nevertheless did no longer see the gentle of reality'. then you definately reported silence, i'm hoping you comprehend what you advise. you in addition to mght reported no homestead windows to the exterior international: no television, radio, telephone, or books, no longer something wherein to do no longer something. Then, as quickly as each thing else gotten rid of, i visit be on my own, basically myself to myself, deeply entrenched for an journey. yet then by making use of using the word ‘cabin fever’, you tried to diminish the pitch of your guy or woman concept, which decrease than the region i think of is little bit of an underestimation, as what's probable to ensue then could desire to be a lot greater advantageous than a feverish sensation. If i detect myself at peace with myself, it could desire to be an eternity till now I ever have a desire to look exterior, yet whilst no longer, then it is going to be basically a 2nd till now the partitions of that room are falling away all around me.
