What’s the difference between being alone and being lonely? When does solitude nourish us? And when does it start to hurt? In an age of constant connection, more people than ever are quietly struggling with disconnection. Psychologists now call it a “loneliness epidemic,” with nearly 1 in 4 adults worldwide reporting frequent feelings of loneliness. But what if being alone isn’t always a bad thing? What if learning to embrace solitude could actually make us stronger, more creative, and more emotionally grounded?

 

Join Nico, a successful fashion entrepreneur who has spent a decade building his career largely on his own, for a thoughtful and personal discussion on the psychology of loneliness. Together, we’ll explore how to recognise healthy versus unhealthy isolation, when to fight loneliness and when to lean into it, and how to transform being alone into a source of balance and growth. Whether you love solitude or fear it, this is a conversation about understanding yourself and the quiet spaces that shape who we are.

 

“一个人”和“孤独”之间有什么区别？什么时候独处是滋养的？什么时候又会变成伤害？在一个永远在线的时代，越来越多人其实都在默默感到“断联”。心理学家甚至把它称作“孤独流行病”——全世界每四个成年人中，就有一个经常感到孤独。但如果“独处”其实没那么糟呢？如果学会拥抱孤独，反而能让我们变得更坚韧、更有创造力、更稳定？

 

来和Nico一起聊聊吧——他是一位时尚创业者，花了十年时间独自打拼事业。这场温暖又有思考的对谈，将一起探讨：怎么分辨健康和不健康的独处？什么时候该抗争孤独，什么时候该顺其自然？又该如何把“一个人的时光”变成内在平衡和成长的来源？

无论你是享受独处的人，还是害怕孤单的人，这场对话都会带你更了解自己，也了解那些塑造我们的“安静时刻”。
