Isolation in a few figures :

Isolation is affecting more and more people. Whether young or old, all social categories are affected. Nearly one person in 5 has already experienced this feeling of isolation. A paradox when all technologies tend to bring us closer together.

Hypersensitive people are usually introverts and can quickly find themselves isolated, frightened by the world around them, by the choices they have to make.

So how do you prevent isolation?

First of all, we need to work on our hyper-emotionality, because this is what will isolate us. By no longer being able to manage our emotions, we're going to isolate ourselves in spite of ourselves. It's a vicious circle. The more isolated we become, the harder it will be to reach out to others. We'll ask ourselves hundreds of questions about our behavior. Is it appropriate? Have I been too much or too little? And then we fall back into isolation, thinking we'll never make it... so let's work on this hyperemotivity using existing methods such as cardiac coherence.

Once we've managed our hyperemotionality :

So let's tackle our habits. Isolation means staying at home. The hardest thing is to make the change. It takes 21 days for the brain to integrate the change and for it to become a new habit.

Start by going out once a day simply to walk, to be there in the moment, to feel the people around you.

Start a group activity once a week.

Read at least one book a month, which will feed your brain and indirectly connect you to people.

Ban depressing news.

All these changes are designed to re-socialize you. I won't hide from you the fact that changing your habits will be uncomfortable at first.

Be careful not to confuse solitude with isolation. We can be lonely but surrounded by loved ones, knowing that our friends are there, as opposed to isolated where there's no one.
