I go to Scotland maybe three times a year, and I love it. When I'm at home, I feel at home, I feel myself, I feel connected.
I guess quotes make me feel more connected.
When I was growing up, all I wanted to do was fit in, but if you're perpetually an outsider, it gives you a perspective that might have a little more objectivity than people who really feel connected to their social environment in which they grow up.
I don't think I'm an outsider at all.
Arguably, there's an emotional side of life that I'm not always completely plugged into.
We should all have an opportunity to feel a part of something not just have a part in something.
I really like feeling connected to people and feeling like I have a good, solid sense of empathy.
Connection, the ability to feel connected, is neurobiologically wired, that’s why we’re here!
It's no fun being lonely.
I really miss being able to blend in with people.
I'd been convinced I was on the outside, but really, I'd always been within arm's reach. All I had to do was ask, and I, too, would be easily brought back, surrounded and immersed, finding myself safe, somewhere in between.
I need to feel like I'm part of something. I need to feel part of the world when I go to sleep.
Knowing that you're not alone, and that people genuinely care, is really important.
I'm not recommending that you think positive thoughts. It's more about experiencing more emotions and feelings that make you feel more connected with the world.
