RE: What If You Can Change Your Past
Well written post.
Hui Peng was still young, so her insecurity and reliance on others to fulfill her life is acceptable at that age.
Fear of being alone is similar to many phobias, we all have our phobias and some are more severe than others. I am no psychiatrist or physiologist. But one way of conquering your fear is to change the definition of being alone.
Firstly, you can be in a train station surrounded by five thousand strangers and still feel alone. Or you could be in a house party with your closest friends and still feel lonely.
Secondly, in this day and age of digital world, we connect with others in many different ways, be it social media, instant messaging or phone call, we can easily connect with others and be with others from the comfort of our smartphone.
However, if you have the fear of being alone because of a traumatic experience (such as kidnapped), then it may be a better idea to seek professional help.
Hey @orangila, thank you for reading :)
Yea, I agree that the definition of alone is subjective to people. Pretty sure it's their past experiences or people's influence that defines what "alone" is.
But now, being alone is a not a bad thing. It became a place for me to recharge when I am alone. So I need some time to be alone also.
Traumatic experiences are scary... so far I have none, not as severe as a "trauma". You're right, need professional help d.
Thank you for sharing your piece of thought :)
