Hello,
Lots of issues in life can lead to partial or total isolation for anyone. Life is like acting on the stage, depending on how it has treated you and the experiences you have gained from your present and past engagements. Most times, that is the foundational basis for someone consciously and internationally living in isolation.
Myself, I do isolation or separate myself from the crowd or from noisy environments when I want to think deeper, when I want to write, when I want remember important and serious things. These are my most times of staying isolated from whoever that's near or around me.
Many more things can cause someone to live in isolation; these are few of them,
Insanity; If someone has been confirmed to be insane, the family, the society or the loved ones can quickly isolate such a fellow. To avoid embarrassment or inflicting injuries on the normal family members or on the society. The person will be isolated in the rehabilitation center.
Addiction; In the world today, so many families has lost their loved ones to addictions thereby separated them from the family for being addicted to either a terrible smoking pattern like chimney or some others are hooked by alcoholism, harsh life style habit or any other kind of life obstructions.
I know of a very close family this kind of isolation has happened to their grown working class son, the family took him to a rehabilitation center so he can recover but not so.Cultism can also cause a thick and terrible isolation from the very individual to either his or her family members and the community at large. People separate themselves from cultists.
4.Intentional decisions; One can as well decide consciously and intentionally to put his or herself on isolation from those that had dealt treacherously with him or her in the time past to avoid a repeat of any ugly scandals, abusive relationships, dramas, heartbreaking scenarios and even the lost of integrity and self worth.
You know some people for one reason or the other may decide to bend on tarnishing someone else's mind, image, endeavours in life and so on, to make sure they humiliate you, the best thing to do at that point is to consciously put boundaries against them and all about them. For your own peace of mind.
- There are those who naturally love to dwell in isolation. No matter how hard others try to mingle with them, they will carefully block every avenue that can open them up to others. They're the "One man squad" kind of human beings.
Such people are the friends of themselves. Very careful, never to relate with anyone, probably for no accurate reasons, i think, that's how some people are totally made to live their lives.
These set of people don't normally go for occasions, even if they attempted going on any, they've vowed just to stay on their own, little or no exchange of pleasantries with others and they must leave before the occasion ends. They love to enjoy their own company all alone.
They talk loudly to themselves, laugh out loudly with themselves, and eat alone, sleep alone if you come into their rooms, they're already shouting at you for one reason or the other.
They're just made like that.
They will tell you, look, i have set my boundaries on relationships, no matter what you do, you can't change it or please them at all. This behavior, to be frank, has it's pro's and coins for the individual involved.
People may never be totally free to let you know certain things even closer to you that you supposed to know or be involved with, those things maybe very beneficial or helpful to you but because you have totally isolated yourself from them, it will be denied from you. It has both good and negative effects to be completely isolated from other people.
- Too much wealth; Many wealthy people and families do carefully and intentionally keep boundaries about their relationships with others.
They create classes of those they can relate with.
No matter what others do, they can't be reached. These are types of lives for everyone. Though some times it's ok because you may not really know who wants to pull you and your wealth down if you just live a care free life. But too much of everything is not proper, there has to be limit as far as i know that life styles are not always the same. There are people that like loud talking while others do not like any one shouting in the place of talking.
This is my response to day 4 prompt, that says,
"Why do we isolate ourselves?"
I therefore invite all my audience to join and drop their link as well.
Thank you for engaging on my post, we all are moving forward for greater achievements.
