Isolation is often caused by Social Predators mobbing Abuse Victims to isolate, shun, shame, harm, ostracize, exclude, and attempt to humiliate them while they derive sensory pleasure from the harming and willful neglect of others. If you find yourself socially isolated as a child, teen, or adult and this message finds you — know that you can overcome the trauma bond that tells you anyone who would act to do you harm intentionally matters apart from knowing the more you remove yourself from their presence, the faster you heal from issues related to unhealthy Trauma Bonding to people who consider you prey rather than someone to treat like a member or humanity worth social inclusion. The faster one learns to live without the social attention or affection of others who do not like, love, or respect [us, them], the less likely we are to leap to respond should whoever estranged us from them or from themselves and others figures out their behavior choices were socially inappropriate or to their personal disadvantage. Many people who end up isolated due to social abuse like being mocked, lied to, and or lied about by those they esteemed or trust never are able to trust, to love, or to feel affection again. Isolation creates the opportunity for Schizoid affectation to advance in the medical event of terrible exposure to traumatizing and repetitive Narcissist Abuse and to brutal social trauma inducing events. Seek to detach without letting your heart close to the idea of knowing others. Take time alone to heal but make a point to focus on ensuring you like and protect the best parts of who you are before deciding to scrub yourself out based on someone with a Cluster B personality disorder and their social supporters telling you to do things like kill yourself to make the world better. If you like yourself and enjoy time in body, take a few years to withdraw from social activities. If no one else was alive on earth but you and a handful of people, who do you prefer to spend time with in your final days, weeks, months, or years? How about for the next hour? Isolation allows you to say on Sunday I will go to church but Friday and Saturday I will spend alone to take time for myself after a week of Monday through Friday work. If you need to be needed, find a church and attend weekly choir practice. If you need social affection from someone who won’t give you grief, adopt a pet who is happy to see you every day when you get home. If you need to have a meal around people, sit at the bar of a busy restaurant instead of at a table and make small talk with others who are there doing the same. Or volunteer at a Soup Kitchen. Or volunteer to walk dogs at the local Animal Shelter. Or go to the library to sit and read. Or visit a local dog park or pet store and pet puppies. Or offer to pet sit someone’s cat or dog in their home as a pet sitter while you make a little extra money. Or volunteer to read books to kids who could use a reading tutor. Or volunteer to visit with folks in Assisted Living Facilities and or in Nursing Homes around the country. Or cook or back something for yourself plus enough for any single or shut in neighbors. Or volunteer with your local Police or Fire Department. Or take a class online or in person that includes an interactive component. And realize reading the list of things one can do while being given the Silent Treatment or when the victim of Social Abuse, Extreme Ostracization, or by circumstances that prevent people from connecting deeply with others that folks can focus on connecting with yourself and on simply shifting your focus to casually interacting socially with other people in ways that are healthy as well as Pro-Social. The more time one dedicates to such pursuits, the fast the body is likely to figure out it’s actually safer away from Abusive People. And if you are prone to engaging in lying to and about others, into abusing their trust and their hospitality and things like their finances, and or you have addictions issues or a personality type prone to becoming violent and folks unlike you chose to set boundaries to keep you away, know isolation protects you from doing them or yourself harm the more you disengage. Be polite, be supportive, and step away.
