In high school lunchrooms there is always at least one poor, sad teenager who has the unlucky seat next to the trash can. In parks and school playgrounds there is always that one melancholy kid that provides a stark contrast from the joyful shouts and screams coming from the other playing children. The experience of being an outsider is an inescapable universal condition that can be caused through social class, appearance, or other factors.

In life, there are many times where an individual may feel alone. Personally, this past week can attest to that notion. Moving into a college dorm, saying goodbye to my loved ones, and taking on a new chapter in my life, have all been accompanied by a new set of emotions that I have never felt before: homesickness, freedom, peer-pressure. However, looking around everyone seems happy, and it feels as if I am trapped in a space that no one else appears to be in. But, internally they may be battling the same struggles that I am. That is what can be drawn from “The Wisdom of Sociology: Sam Richards at TedxLacador,” the idea that behind the facade, our personal struggles are all connected.

In the story, Jared escapes his miserable home life to a plane wreck he discovers while roaming the wilderness. Through the use of detached imagery and the emotional characterization of Jared as self-isolating, Rash argues that escaping too far from reality can be very harmful to the stability of one’s emotional being.

When an individual experiences loneliness in his or her life, time will tell how they choose to continue in order to escape the unpleasant feeling. In the short story of “Miss Brill” by Katherine Mansfield, an older woman brings the atmosphere around her to life when she employs her vast imagination during her visits to the park every Sunday. Compared to the normal, social human being, Miss Brill is not one to face the stresses of life with confidence; in fact, she does not face them at all when she attempts to create her own personal fantasy in order to escape the unkind judgments of the world.

Loneliness is a complex and usually an unpleasant emotional response to isolation as well as separation; it is a product of the lack of contact experienced with another individual. Moreover, it includes anxious feelings due to the absence of connection or communication with other beings, both in the present and extending into the future. Some describe it as emptiness or hollowness inside of one’s being. In the narrative The Bloody Chamber (1979), Angela Carter’s characters deal with the emotion of loneliness by taking action and intervening through any circumstances. In contrast, in Zadie Smith’s Hanwell in Hell (2004) the main characters Clive and Hanwell deal with loneliness simply through hope.

On the contrary, too much hope can cause the isolation that everyone dreads. Excessive amounts of hope can blind you from other important matters going on in the world around you, and you lose sight of everything but that fantasy. In “Of Mice and Men”, some persona are led to their downfall after being isolated from society; this is manifested through characters, foreshadowing and setting.

Though isolating one’s self from others from time to time can be healthy, those who experience isolation will inevitably crave intimate connections with others, which, unfortunately, is something that not all can achieve.
