Summary

This quote suggests that despite people being drawn to controversial or divisive topics like sex, politics, or religion, it is the topic of loneliness that makes others uncomfortable and causes them to distance themselves. Loneliness is often seen as a vulnerable and sensitive subject, and discussing it can make people confront their own fears and insecurities.
