\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis episode is inspired by the Vlan episode entitled The paradox of the “social” century that we pretend to ignore<\/a>, where Gregory Pouy highlights the paradox of modern loneliness, where me-time is giving way to social activities (he cites the alarming figure that the frequency of dinners with friends fell by 45% between 1970 and the 2000s) and where in the end we shut ourselves away even more in loneliness. In a world where we are increasingly “connected”, there have never been so many people who feel alone and suffer from loneliness: In France, according to a study by the Fondation de France<\/a> published in January 2024, 12% of adults, or around 6.5 million people, are in a situation of relational isolation, having little or no physical contact with those around them. Furthermore, one in five people expresses a feeling of loneliness, although not all isolated people necessarily feel this loneliness. Young adults are particularly affected, with more than a quarter of those under 25 feeling regularly lonely. This is also a trend I notice among the single people I accompany who want to find love and are already struggling to expand their social circle. It was for this reason that I made episode 126 on how to make friends as an adult.<\/a> In 8 years of practice<\/strong>, progressive isolation is one of the most frequent signals I observe and one of the least named. In this episode I wanted to talk about the internal reasons that lead you to isolate yourself<\/strong> more and more, and the impact this isolation has on your nervous system.<\/span>\n
