Quote by Jean-Paul Sartre

If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.

If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.

Summary

This quote by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre suggests that if one feels lonely even in their own solitude, it is an indication that they are not at peace with themselves. It implies that being alone should be an opportunity for introspection, self-reflection, and personal growth, rather than a state of discomfort or dissatisfaction. If someone can't find contentment in their own company, it implies a lack of self-acceptance and self-awareness, ultimately leading to a negative perception of oneself. In essence, it highlights the importance of cultivating a positive relationship with oneself to find contentment regardless of external circumstances.
