What I like is the idea of a group, even if it's just two people - the idea of solitude within a group.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not saying abolish group work - I think there's a time and a place for people to come together and exchange ideas, but let's restore the respect we once had for solitude. And we need to be much more mindful of the way we come together.
I think better of our behaviour as individuals than I do when we see ourselves as members of a group. It's when people start forming groups that we have to watch our backs.
The best part about being with a group is that you don't have to do everything alone. You're with your friends.
Solitude would be ideal if you could pick the people to avoid.
There are a lot of groups that feel a little bit strange around me, because I am inclusive.
There is nothing in the world that I loathe more than group activity, that communal bath where the hairy and slippery mix in a multiplication of mediocrity.
I don't really like groups that make the same statement over and over again. It's good, but kind of predictable.
Being put in a group, I hate that. I don't think anyone likes it. Everyone just wants to be their own person.
I like the idea of isolation, I like the idea of solitude. You can be connected and have a phone and still be lonely.
The solution to alone-ness is not more solitude, but companionship and community.
