Some answers are completely irresponsible, but it's a pity that Zhihu has fallen.
But it is certain that if you want to know yourself, you must study your inner truth. Then you must be alone. And the truth of your own mind is the truth of human society, which is almost equivalent.
Therefore, the ancients said that you can know the world without leaving home.
The reason why I don't like loneliness and can't stand it is because I put all the truth in the world outside and ignore my inner voice. When he is alone, his mind has nothing to explore, or he doesn't know how to explore his own mind.
Many religious practitioners need a time of absolute solitude in their practice, which is often heard but regarded as a joke. There are also many religions that have meditation and prayer in their daily courses. These can be called short-term complete social exclusion.
In these isolated moments, they only do two things.
1, self-observation, introspection.
2. Practice concentration.
If we observe the outside world, we have magnifying glasses, microscopes and telescopes as tools; Then look inward, we need solitude and self-help as tools.
With this inward tool, we can observe an inner world at least as wonderful as the outer world when we are alone.
As an experiencer of your subjective world, with the in-depth experience of Vipassana, you will gradually realize that all the phenomena in the external world happened in my inner boundary.
I used to think that the difference between inside and outside was just a boundary drawn by myself. Without this boundary, the internal and external division will gradually melt. The world and itself become a harmonious whole, regardless of each other.
At this point, you can go out of the mountain.
At this time, socializing and not socializing are not socializing, but become a game between yourself and yourself.
The above is the best state that a person can achieve without socializing at all.
