Once you make unmotivated solitude your comfort zone, it becomes a kind of prison disguised as peace. You stop participating in life not because you reject it, but because you no longer feel connected to it. You stop feeling anything deeply, and you just exist. Even though I’m not in the same situation anymore, I still struggle with apathy. It doesn’t just go away because your life gets better. It stays with you in small ways.
