Jemma: 二十多岁的人都会经历一段“最孤独的时期”,这是一种正常的过渡阶段,它并非永久的,最终会教会我们很多东西。在这个时期,我们可能会感到与周围的人脱节,对现有友谊感到厌倦,并经历自我批评和迷茫。这可能是由于生活轨迹的分裂、重大生活变故(如搬家、分手、生孩子)以及伴侣关系的优先级提升等因素造成的。我们平均每年会失去两个朋友,结交新朋友也变得更加困难,因为我们失去了熟悉的环境和人际网络。在这个过程中,我们需要学习如何忍受和享受独处,并从中受益。独处可以帮助我们进行自我反思和成长,摆脱不健康的友谊,提升自我价值感。我们可以通过社交媒体断舍离、浪漫化独处时光、培养新的爱好等方式来应对孤独,并从中获得更深刻的自我认知和人际连接。最终,我们会从这段经历中成长,并建立更健康、更牢固的人际关系。

At some stage in our 20s, all of us will experience what I call 'The Loneliest Chapter' - a period where we feel detached, disconnected and isolated. Whilst this experience can feel terrible and make us question our relationships, friendships and selves, it's an important rite of passage and actually ends up teaching us a lot. In today's episode we discuss: 

  • What is the 'lonely' chapter of our 20s?
  • My personal journey with loneliness 
  • What are some signs you may be in it, right now? 
  • Why does this occur? What creates this period? 
  • How can we learn to tolerate and enjoy solitude? 
  • What are the benefits of loneliness? 
  • How can we make new friends and feel like we belong?
