Описание: ► Join Our Skool-Community: https://understandable.net/join/ (Ad)

The need to be alone is felt by many of us.
But is it because there are suddenly a lot of introverts among us?
Or is it because many of us use isolation to cope with our distrust in other people and the world?
In other words: Isn’t isolation just another sign of a learned avoidant attachment style?
In today’s episode, I’d like to find that out.
So we compare avoidance and introversion
I talk you through 5 signs it’s actually avoidance, not introversion
And in the end, we look for an answer to the question, if we NEED or more LIKE to be alone and what we can do about it.
