I have lived isolated voluntarily for 40 years, for different reasons I have been saying that "segregated" I could start explaining the reasons but I would get out of the main focus of the topic we talk.
What we can do is make clear people that social media is an illusion in its great major good.
We are facing a great dilemma, people need to meet more frequently in the squares, leave TV and telephones at home, start soccer, attend the stadiums, bars and listen to live bands, play chess in the parks, interact.
Basically Doctor, the solution I find that it is in education, and in raising awareness.
I am inclined to agree with you. Raising awareness about the importance of meeting physically and how that is vital for mental health and well-being needs to be a priority.
I must say that he takes a lot of devotion, grit, and tenacity to be able to leave in isolation for as long as you've done.
It is not what costs, because for me it is easy to do it, but what I question is whether the value of the experience that I will enjoy overcoming the happiness and pleasure that my loneliness gives me, as well as to be able to do it.
In most cases the answer is "no" and that is why so much time in solitude 😀
