Most humans are dependent on interactions with others to keep them sane. There’s a reason solitary confinement is used as a punishment for prisoners. We need people to share and vent our feelings, share our thoughts and work productivity. We usually look for “the click” when we talk to people. When it all just clicks and the conversation flows naturally, we naturally take the other person into our circle of friends. But there’s something at the backbone of it all – emotions.
Emotions form bonds. Without it, it’s all just a formality really. Without emotions, all we make are acquaintances who we nod our head to when we chance upon them. Alas some people aren’t as lucky as others in this category. They do not “feel” emotions for one reason or another. When that happens, they are forced to act, disguise themselves, make themselves a cast to put on everyday.
This act of putting on a cast every single day is extremely exhausting. One fine day, they’ll probably just give up and reveal their true nature. This will almost every time result in complete abandonment by the people around. “You’re no longer like us so you’re not one of us” the people say. So all they are left with is their own worst enemy- their mind.
Always being alone with your thoughts is scary. It can twist and turn your reality into any shape it wants without you knowing any better, because there isn’t anyone to correct it. You watch helplessly, as the world becomes darker and darker, and you retreat further into your isolation.
