# 108 - Alone vs. Lonely

In this week's episode, we’re exploring the difference between being alone and feeling lonely.

We all know what it’s like to be alone sometimes, whether it’s spending a quiet evening in, taking a solo trip, or simply having some time to ourselves. But what happens when being alone turns into feeling lonely? And what’s the difference, exactly? That’s what we’re going to explore in this episode.

We’ll unpack the psychology behind these two concepts, how they affect us mentally and emotionally, and how we can navigate the complex dance between solitude and isolation.
