If you often feel lonely even in crowds, you're probably smarter than you think. [music] And Karl Jung explained why this was so exactly 100 years ago. Now [music], I have a question for you. Keep the answer in mind. Because we'll come back to it at the end of this video [music]. Do you get more tired when you're alone or sitting at a table with 10 people [playing music]

? Your answer will reveal whether your solitude is truly a choice or a well-disguised escape . But before we get there, we come to the question that nobody [music] asked out loud. Not to a doctor, not to a [musical] partner , but to the question she didn't even ask herself in the silence of a sleepless night. [music]

Why does being alone make me feel so good ? Nothing bad happened. There was no fight, no [musical] disagreement. Just a slow, quiet withdrawal. People you once longed to see no longer interest you. [music] They invite you, you don't go, and you don't regret it. Then comes the guilt. Let me also tell you that thought you're ashamed of. Is there something wrong with me

? [music] Have I grown cold? Have I forgotten how to love people? No. [music] You don't lose your ability to connect with people. You are losing something far more dangerous than that. Karlung found seven psychological reasons for answering this question . Six of them will relax you. The seventh one will shatter the story you've been telling yourself for years.

Because perhaps the real question was never why I'm alone [in music]. The real question is: Who do you become after they leave? Yi is the reason, and ultimately, a mirror. Why the first reason? [music] Superficial conversation tires you physically . You are at a wedding. You are sitting at the table. Who married whom? Who got what [music]

? Whose child has entered where? Half an hour later, an indescribable weight starts in your chest [from the music] . Your body is there, but your mind [the music] has already left. You look at the clock. The food hasn't even arrived yet. Everyone around you is enjoying it . You can't get [music]

and that makes you ashamed of yourself. For years you thought this was arrogance. Maybe someone even told you to your face. You think you're something [musical]. You didn't even put up a defense. Because maybe they were right. [music] But the truth is much simpler and much more painful. [music] A highly intelligent mind constantly seeks connections.

It takes information and combines it with something else [music]. He wants to see the underlying pattern. For this mind, superficial talk is a futile endeavor. The engine is running, but the vehicle isn't moving anywhere. [music] Imagine a diver. It's trained to dive into deep waters. Its lungs are set up to work [music]

meters below . Try to keep him occupied for hours, even at knee height. They won't drown, but they'll be exhausted. Because [music] can't do anything there . There is water, but no depth. [music] What Yungun calls spiritual energy is limited. Wherever you spend that energy, that's where you'll deplete it. Yours is geared towards seeking depth.

When you're forced to stay on the surface, that energy accumulates inside you without flowing anywhere. There's more. Even during a superficial conversation, your mind never stops. It continues to process the tone of voice, facial expressions, and the difference between what the listener is saying and not saying [in music]. So you're not just not bored. [music]

You're bored with a mind constantly working in the background. That's why when you leave a wedding, a funeral, or a holiday visit, you often feel like you've had a tough workday. You did nothing, yet you're exhausted. You don't even turn on the radio [for music] on the way home. Silence feels like medicine. [music]

When was the last time you truly came out of a conversation feeling enriched? That conversation probably took place late at night, with a single person, not in a crowd. But the strange thing is: this weariness [music] grows strongest when you're around the people you know best. And the next reason explains why. When he says it, you'll never look at some of

your friendships the same way again [because of music] . The second reason is that everyone's therapist is nobody's [music] friend. The phone rings at 11 PM, you answer it. You listen for an hour. [music] The person opposite you felt lighter when you closed it. "I'm so glad you exist," he says. Then you put down the phone, and there's silence in the room

. You spent an hour there and nobody [in the music] asked you how you were. How many times has this scene been repeated in your life ? [music] People come to you, tell you their troubles, and seek advice. You don't just listen [to the music] , you also hear what they don't say.

The fear beneath a sentence, [the music] the anger within a silence. But things change when it's your turn. Once you tried [music], you started to describe it. The person opposite you nodded their head. " I understand," he said. Then he said something completely unrelated. [music] Something broke inside you at that moment, and

you never knocked on that door again. That's not arrogance. [music] That's asymmetry. You can understand their world . They can't understand yours. [music] It's not a flaw. It's a difference in equipment. [music] They're not malicious. They've simply never been in that room. That's exactly what Yungun realized. [ music] A person can only understand something that has a counterpart within themselves

. And that's the most painful part. You realize it. [ music] You see that the other person doesn't understand, doesn't even realize they don't understand. [music] Your loneliness is doubled. You're not understood, [music] and you know it all alone. You don't complain to anyone. [music] Saying " nobody understands me" sounds like a youthful whine.

Over time, a dangerous habit begins. You become the person everyone consults for advice, but you become nobody's friend. People seek you out, but only when they need something, and you mistake that for closeness. No. [music] This is a service. Now do something. Open your contact list and ask yourself this question. [music] How many of these names

called me without asking for anything? If your heart aches as you count the answers, be prepared for the third reason. Because there you will see how you [music] constructed this loneliness in your own hands . The third reason is that you constantly have to belittle yourself . You are about to say something.

You open your mouth. Then you stop. Because you know what you are going to say is too complicated. [music] Too long, too deep, and you know that expression will appear on the face of the person opposite you . So you simplify your sentence. Then [music] you simplify it again. In the end, what comes out of your mouth is

a faded copy of what you thought. The person opposite you smiles. [music] Exactly, they say. The subject is closed, and you sit there. [music] with an unspoken sentence inside you. You do this every day. In family conversations, in neighbor visits, [music] at the tea table, you shrink yourself by a body so that the person

opposite you won't be uncomfortable. [music] You call this politeness, baseness. You call it voluntarism. Actually, it has another name: hiding yourself [in music]. And one day you realize you've forgotten how to construct grand sentences. Your mind hasn't touched those muscles in a long time . Shrinking has become a habit. [music] Now, do you recognize that thing rising inside you

? That warmth, that pressure. It's anger. Who are you angry at? Them? No. Yourself. [music] Because each time you shrank. Nobody [music] forced you. Nobody told you to be quiet. You silenced yourself and called it conformity. Yunk [music] would show how much a person sacrifices of their true self to belong to a community.

[music] Acceptance has a price, and most people pay that price with their authenticity . But a highly intelligent person pays a heavier price. Because what they sacrifice is much greater. And this is where the part nobody tells you [music] begins. Over the years, this ceases to be a cost and becomes [music] an identity.

Those around you recognize you [music], but The person they know is a smaller version of you, and you're forced to maintain that smaller version . Because no one recognizes your full [music] self anymore. That's where loneliness begins to feel like a liberation. When you're alone, you don't have to shrink [music]. When you're alone,

you can use the full extent of your thoughts. [music] No one dilutes you, and once you've experienced that, returning to those crowded tables becomes truly difficult. [music] Now I'm going to tell you something that will be difficult for you . [music] Don't direct this anger at others. They didn't diminish you. You preferred their comfort to your own wholeness

. This week, just once, don't simplify your sentence. [music] Say it exactly as it is in your mind. The person opposite may not understand. [music] The atmosphere may become silent. But at that moment, you will be more whole than you have been in a long time, and in that silence, you will learn something.

[music] Who really wants to be with you? Who wants to be with your diminished self? [music] The fourth reason is the price of your questions. As a child, you asked a question, and the atmosphere became silent. Perhaps to a teacher, [music] perhaps to a family. At the dinner table, you questioned something everyone believed to be true

[music], and what you learned that day wasn't an answer. It was that some questions shouldn't be asked. You still remember that moment. You felt ashamed. You still do the same thing today. You ask why this is done, and an awkward silence falls over the room. No one had asked it before. No one had even thought to ask it. And

your question disturbs everyone [music] . Because there's no answer. Someone changes the subject, another laughs. And you keep dwelling on it. This makes you problematic, not intelligent. In their [music] eyes, you're confusing everything. You shouldn't question certain things. You grew up hearing this, and over time you stopped asking [music]. At least not out loud. But inside, you

kept asking, and each question distanced you a little more. Because while they lived in the comfort of answers, you lived in the unease of questions . Jung showed how powerfully the collective unconscious shapes people [music]. The shared acceptances of society [music] are truths that no one questions. Most people live peacefully within these acceptances

. They are comfortable. That's it. [music] Questioning is tiring. You never settled into that comfort. The questioning person disturbs the peace, and the community pushes aside the person who disturbs the peace . [music] This is not punishment, it's a protective reflex. [music] Here's the deepest layer of your loneliness. You weren't excluded. You [music] separated yourself with your questions

. And now there's a possibility that most people never consider. [music] Maybe you wanted to be excluded. If you stop questioning, you'll be accepted, but you'll lose yourself. If you continue, you'll remain yourself, but you'll be alone. [music] Maybe some nights you think it would be easier not to know . Would I have been

happier if I hadn't asked, if I hadn't seen ? The answer might be yes, but there's no turning back now. A mind that has seen once [music] cannot choose not to see. And now we're moving on to something much more insidious. [music] Something that works silently every day, in every conversation . The 5th reason. [music]

Nobody thinks at your pace. The person opposite you is still forming their first sentence. You've already seen the conclusion they're going to reach, three objections... You've prepared everything, and [music] you have to sit there and wait . I'm not saying this arrogantly. It's not a superiority. It's torture. You have to wait, and while you wait,

[music] you have to appear patient. The person opposite you reaches a point, and you say yes. Yet you arrived there 5 minutes ago. The funny thing is: you've learned this waiting so well [music] that nobody knows how fast you think anymore. [music] They think you're a patient person. It's not patience. It's a well [music] hidden

weariness. When you're alone, your mind [music] runs at its own pace . It doesn't wait for anyone, it doesn't explain itself to anyone. That speed is yours. [music] And once you've tasted it, constantly braking around people becomes unbearable. But now, a bitter truth. Human relationships are built not on speed, but on walking together.

Every moment you leave the person opposite you behind, the distance between you [music] widens a little more, and one day when you look back, you can't see anyone. [music] Maybe your problem isn't thinking fast . It's refusing to slow down. 6 Why can't you tolerate an incomplete connection? [music] You want to build a friendship.

You try. After 2 months [music] you realize something is missing. Conversations start repeating themselves. The other person follows you to a certain depth . Then they stop. You see that point where they stopped. There's a blur in their eyes. They change the subject, and you understand. Up to this point [music] most people still continue. They'd rather be

content with an incomplete connection than be alone. [music] You can't accept that. Those around you say you're too picky. Your family worries. [music] At this rate, you'll be alone. You already are. [music] Jung used to talk about the process of individuation. The journey of a person toward their own wholeness. [music] On this path, a person has to

leave behind everything that diminishes them. Including people. Your body remains within that friendship [music] but your mind has already left. The other person doesn't notice. You smile, you ask questions. [music] But inside, a door has already closed. Now stop. While watching this whole video, you do n't feel justified, do you? Really? [music]

They're superficial, you're deep. They don't understand, you see. [music] I've always told you this. Now I'm going to ask you a question. In the last 5 years, how many people have you removed from your life just as you were starting to get to know them? [music] And were all those people really superficial

? Or did some just get too close to you ? [music] Your standards may be high, but sometimes high standards are a very well-polished escape route. If you don't let anyone in, [music] no one can leave you. If that sentence hurt you, you're not alone. Most people want to turn off the video at this point,

but the real answer is right where you want to turn it off. Reason 7 is built on this. Reason 7 [music] is the truth that loneliness hides. Now it's time to go back to the question I asked you at the beginning. But first, one more thing. Everyone is afraid of being alone. [

music] Because when you're alone, you're left alone with yourself, and most people can't stand being alone with themselves. [music] That's why they turn on the TV, pick up their phones, and are constantly with someone. All This action is to escape from oneself. [music] Watch a person do nothing for 10 minutes. Most people can't stand it.

Because a voice rises in that emptiness, and that voice doesn't say pleasant things. You're not escaping, you're staying. Ah.
