我们都有过孤独的经历。我曾在一段没有情感联系的关系中感受过孤独。孤独感的产生与是否孑然一身或是否与人在一起并没有任何关系——它关乎的是人类对人际关系的渴望,那种被人看见并珍视的感觉。
If your tendency is to spend time alone, practice saying yes to invitations. Practice moving towards rather than away from people.
如果你倾向于独自消磨时光,那么试着练习接受别人的邀请。试着学会和大家一起度过时光,而不是远离他们。
We all benefit from connection. That homeless man impacted my day. After encountering him, I felt more grateful — appreciating all that I have. He triggered my compassion — I found myself feeling empathy for him. I had the choice to move towards separation or connection. Were there many ways in which he and I are very different? Absolutely! Are there many ways in which we are alike! Absolutely! I can reflect on times in my life that like him, I was in a situation I had never anticipated, times that I felt broke, times that I felt at a low point. And as he may have been feeling this morning, times when I needed someone to stop and acknowledge me.
我们都会从与人交流中受益。那位无家可归的人影响了我的一天。遇到他后,我感到更为感恩,感激我所拥有的一切。他激发了我的怜悯之情,我发现自己对他有了同理心。我能够选择到底是与人疏远还是与人交流。他和我有很多不同之处吗?绝对有!他和我有很多相似之处?绝对有!我能回想起自己生命中与他一样的时刻,像这样处于一个我从未预料到的情况之中:支离破碎、踟蹰低谷;以及像他今天早上可能感觉到的一样,需要有人为我停下脚步,不把我当透明人看。
