Ep.53 | El arte de saber estar solo y amar la soledad: la solosofía |🎙 Ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes

It's one thing to be alone and another to feel lonely. Loneliness is not the same as isolation. Loneliness is a conscious choice. Isolation is a condition best avoided because it can cause sadness, a feeling of emptiness, and a lack of purpose in life. For its part, chosen solitude can be a great opportunity for personal growth because it provides spaces for introspection and self-knowledge. We delve deeper into the art of being alone, called "solosophy," in today's episode. ➜ Video episodes: 00:00 A very special invitation 01:52 Introduction to solosophy by Álex Rovira 04:50 What exactly is solosophy? 6:00 Loneliness is not the same as isolation 6:47 The 3 variants of loneliness 7:17 Good loneliness or chosen loneliness 8:45 The 2 types of loneliness: BAD or forced 10:40 The worst variant of loneliness: being with someone and feeling alone 12:10 A devastating study on unwanted loneliness in older people 13:40 Why if you don't know how to be alone, you won't be a good partner either 14:50 Unchosen loneliness is associated with worse physical and emotional health 16:30 The hell of being in the wrong company 17:50 The mark of childhood and its influence on adult loneliness 19:40 The key to avoiding unchosen loneliness 20:40 An exercise to learn to enjoy your solitude 21:50 How to overcome the fear of making plans alone 26:10 How our personality influences knowing how to enjoy solitude 28:24 Unchosen loneliness can also be a great Teacher 30:50 A beautiful anecdote about shared loneliness Thank you for sharing this conversation with us.
