Distance Competences
What inner psychological competences are required to pursue one’s need for distance? One must be able to feel one’s own rhythm and enjoy one’s own thoughts and feelings, one must be able to focus, one must be able to experience saying goodbye and enjoy saying hello, one must be able to feel connected with solitude and not avoid boredom but rather, interpret it as a precursor to deep inner impulses. If these are impaired, one will perceive distance as emptiness, will always fill it up with stimuli or be confronted with restlessness when alone.
