Summary

This quote expresses the fear of solitude and the potential consequences faced when left alone with one's thoughts. The individual believes that their vivid imagination is both a gift and a curse - while it fuels creativity and inspiration, it also presents the risk of becoming overwhelmed by obsessiveness or madness. Consequently, they feel a strong aversion towards being alone, as the absence of external distractions might exacerbate their imaginative tendencies to an extreme. Thus, this fear stems from the belief that without external stimuli, their mind might spiral out of control.
