“Some people become loners because they
were betrayed by every person they ever trusted.”
Some people walk away
not because they wanted distance—
but because cruelty taught them
distance is the only safe place left.
Solitude isn’t loneliness.
It’s self-defense,
it’s survival,
it’s the last unbroken corner
they refused to let the world destroy.
And in that quiet,
they finally learn:
peace is better than people
who mistake your trust
for something disposable.
