Why You Feel Alone in Relationships | Sadia Khan

How many people in relationships feel alone in the relationship?

I would say particularly in the cultures where we live now, I think majority of them feel alone. And the reason being is, and Esther Perel really highlights this well, is that we've got all of our needs, like our social, emotional, cognitive, all of this, we're putting it all on one person. And when they can't fill all those needs, we start to feel alone. But as before, we would have a community which spread all of those needs across different people. And as a result, we wouldn't blame our partner for our lonely kind of experiences.
