There's this thing of you can live in a city and be completely alone, not notice anything going on around you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you're playing your character and you're running into all these people who know who you are and treat you in a way that doesn't pertain at all to the character, it takes you out of it more, so when you're alone in a city where people don't know you, you can kind of pretend even more and get into the head space of where you need to be.
I'm pretty much a loner and I've lived under the radar.
I'm a somewhat isolated person in my own way, or I move along a little trail, I go this place, I go that place. It's not like I'm varying my exposure.
Don't go away. I don't want to be alone. I can't stand being alone.
You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way.
In the city, you're always looking around, observing everything. In some neighborhoods, your life can depend on it. The details change constantly.
Weird people follow you in the streets, you can't sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone.
Leave home? It's quite a scary thought. I'm not the most independent person and that's the result. When you're always surrounded by people it becomes quite normal.
It's clear to me that anyone, anywhere, can experience loneliness, isolation, solitude, and estrangement; and most people probably do encounter these things at some point in their lives.
I've always lived in a city. I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.
