I’m the kind of person who likes to be by himself.
To put a finer point on it, I’m the type of person who doesn’t find it painful to be alone.
I find spending an hour or two every day running alone, not speaking to anyone, as well as four or five hours alone at my desk, to be neither difficult nor boring.
I’ve had this tendency ever since I was young, when, given a choice, I much preferred reading books on my own or concentrating on listening to music over being with someone else.
I could always think of things to do by myself.

- Haruki Murakami -
In de consultatiekamer zie ik nu de verschuiving naar “het is nooit
genoeg”.
We hebben nooit het beste lichaam, nooit de beste partner,
nooit de beste job, we beantwoorden nooit genoeg aan de benchmarks van
onze job, het moet allemaal meer zijn.
Het ‘nooit genoeg’ betekent dat
we in concurrentie moeten gaan, zelfs met onszelf, door spiegelbeelden
en ideaalbeelden die ons voorgehouden worden.
Het ‘nooit goed genoeg’ is
een nieuwe vorm van vervreemding.
- Paul Verhaeghe in Psychologie -
