Being by yourself, being alone, being lonely, being quiet, being reserved has nothing to do with unhappiness.
This is not a lack of happiness.
This is your choice to be.
Some people
fill that gap,
Some people hide well enough,
Some people wear the mask of pretense to tell the world that they are okay.
To stop the world from asking if anything is wrong.
It is not
the circumstances or the state of mind in itself that leads someone to the
state of aloofness.
Aloneness mostly comes from avoidance of the question if everything is alright.
Does everything need to be alright?
And for that matter what is it to be alright?
Some people
laugh. They may not smile from within.
They may not be happy from the inside but they laugh.
They laugh to tell the world they are okay.
That no one has to ask them the question if everything is alright.
There are
people who once wanted to know if others cared enough.
Then I guess a time came when they actually wanted you to ask that question if
everything is alright.
They waited
for years and then they shut down their thoughts, their emotions, their
feelings.
And what you get from them now is just a superficial layer of normalcy,
And beneath that pretense of being ordinary lies the biggest delusion of
dishonesty.
