In life, not everything is perfect or rosy. And much less, when we talk about a long period of time. Even the most perfect marriages, for example, have differences, fights and arguments that are sometimes the most absurd. Well, precisely in relation to the interpersonal sphere, the sum of various personal disappointments can lead the subject to social apathy.

It is about the lack of interest in making plans with others, the feeling of lack of meaning and also loneliness. But especially, dissatisfaction arises from not reaching a high ideal of friendship. Therefore, faced with the sensation of pain produced by the apparent defeat of not finding what they are looking for, the person stops trying.
Therefore, she isolates herself from others, is more unfriendly. But behind this apparent distance, there is pain and suffering. For wanting to find a hole that doesn't seem to exist. The reality is that in today's society, full of individualism, especially in big cities, many people have the feeling of not finding their place in the world, their place. In this way, the only refuge they find is that of solitude. At least, in such solitude, they are not opposed by another consciousness.
Social apathy can occur at any time of the year, but for example, in winter it is more common to tend to spend more time at home in the cold of low temperatures. Having relationships is important, being able to talk to people about how you feel and without being judged. Try not to label people, that is, try to give opportunities to others, to let at least someone surprise you. Disappointment is a reality but you should never think that all people are the same.
