In life not everything is perfect or rosy. And much less, when we talk about a long period of time. Even the most perfect marriages, for example, have differences, fights and arguments that are sometimes very absurd. Well, precisely in relation to the interpersonal sphere, the sum of several personal disappointments can lead the subject to social apathy.
It’s about the lack of interest to make plans with others, to the feeling of lack of meaning and also of loneliness. But especially, it arises the dissatisfaction of not achieving an ideal of friendship high. Therefore, faced with the sensation of pain produced by the apparent defeat of not finding what they are looking for, the person stops trying.
Therefore, she isolates herself from others and appears more unfriendly. But behind this apparent distance, there is pain and suffering. For wanting to find a space that doesn’t seem to exist. The reality is that in today’s society, full of individualism, especially in big cities, many people have the feeling of not finding their place in the world, their place. In this way, the only refuge they find is loneliness. At least, in such solitude, they do not encounter the opposition of another consciousness.
Social apathy can occur at any time of the year, but for example, in winter it is more common to tend to spend more time at home due to the cold of low temperatures. Having relationships is important, being able to talk to people about how you feel and without them judging you. Try not to put labels on people, i.e. try to give opportunities to others, to let at least someone surprise you. Disappointment is a reality but you should never think that all people are the same.
