I think there is a more practical aspect as well, particularly for those of us who are more introverted or socially awkward, or whose complex ideas take time to form: Writing gives us an opportunity to convey our ideas without having to debate with others, as well as an opportunity to really get to know our thoughts and to refine our ideas and arguments. This is much harder to achieve spontaneously in the interactions with other people.

RottenDoctorGonzo Well I think it has something to do with our subconscious desire to alter whatever we have in front of us, and at times create an offspring deriving from the said thing to suit us. Imagine if you've never been exposed to fantasy, would you have ever written or create worlds? If you never saw a horror movie, would you be encouraged to scare people for joy? I think that when we see something, say a movie or a book, we learn from it and something inside us says: hey I can make it better, but only in your eyes. So, you make a few changes and edit a few stuff and there you have it, a perfect world. After that it starts to get addicting and to finally answer the question, we do it because it serves as a source of unconscious dopamine. That's my psychological take on the matter would love to hear if you think I make sense or whatever I blabbered was horseshit😂😂

I don't agree with this video, but it is an interesting theory. I write precisely because it helps me think. As an introvert I can't really think in social situations. I am too focused on being nice to the other person. But when I write, it is like I have a dialogue with myself. I love it, because it forces me to question my own ideas and get to the core of my emotions. I can allow myself to be vunerable without feeling like a burden to someone else. This video seems to forget one crucial thing about art and dialogue: Art IS dialogue. Just another form. We dont need to choose between having true friends and creating art. Both are very good indeed! Some things are hard to express, we can't just say them. We need time, words, narrative. Writing brings something out of you that you simply cannot force in normal conversation. However, this video is right that we should be more open and patient with out friends. We all have a story in our heart, worth a thousand pages.

The sole reason noted in the video is the lack of either comfort in the social realm, or not having that realm at all is what drives many writers to write. We are social animals by nature, so when it isn't readily available or comfortable for us as humans, the video speaks of one of the escapes, which is writting. Yes writting can be use for other things, but in the end your writing out the voice in your head. A communication between you and the page. A synergy between you and your scribing instrument. Whatever it may be. You are the only one that writes what you write on any paper, screen or sidewalk.

I agree. His opinion is interesting but extremely reductive. I know I get the best ideas for my fictional stories and the greatest urge to write when I'm at my best, my least lonely, my most fulfilled, socially or otherwise. The desire to create just follows. It's like writing is a means for channeling and amplifying joy, and it's been like this for me since my early childhood. I've simply always loved stories and wanted to create my own, to pay it forward, the joy I felt reading/watching them. It's when I'm depressed and anxious that the desire to write fiction drops, although I journal a lot at such times, and I believe it's a very healthy way to channel sadness and weird thoughts, certainly better than dumping it all on my friends lol. I don't quite see why you can't do both, connect with your loved ones AND write. I'm definitely at my happiest when I do, and it's not exactly a rare occurrence either.

I suppose it also depends what kind of literature you write, but he's very much glossing over the creative element of writing, only seeing it from the therapeutic perspective. And it doesn't even seem like a hypothesis that's too well researched.

I started writing when I was very young. My first story came when I was 8. It didn't come as a result of social isolation. I was a kid, in a family, attending school, with friends and spent a lot of time engaged with those friends. Think Gordy Lachance in the movie Stand By Me (from the story "The Body" by Stephen King). We all have characters in our lives we'd willingly have a barf-o-rama with as a means of revenge for their snotty exclusion of people they treat as inferior... F. Scott Fitzgerald was the furthest thing from social isolation. What he wrote was a condemnation of the people doing the isolating. And maybe that's the point. In this view, isolation comes as a choice or product of some personal weakness or mental illness and not as the result of deliberate exclusion by a large percentage of the population the writer wants to belong to but cannot because he is refused membership by virtue of his appearance, geographical location, education, bloodlines, beliefs, or any number of other attributes we conveniently use to differentiate between "us" and "them." Write because you're angry at the injustice. Write because the people who exclude others based on superficial evaluation are themselves unqualified for membership in the groups they play gatekeeper for. Write because you can, because your opinion does matter. And let the wine sipping jawjackers sit and babble. In the end, the world revolves around the written world and without it, we'd still be trying to figure out how to get water out of the ground.

I don't agree at all with this one. I don't consider myself lonely, I love my friends and all. But social interaction is not enough to bring you happiness and fulfillment in life. I could never be able to create a world in my mind by "talking". For that I must sit down alone and think, and it brings me much more satisfaction than any direct interaction with a human being. In my opinion, indirect interaction (art, science, philosophy) is greater than direct interaction, even if the second one can be the most appealing...

As a girl who aspires to become a writer since when I was 11, I feel obligated to say something here. I didn't start wanting to become a writer because I had an unhappy childhood or because there were nobody to listen to me back then, but rather because I was so touched by a book titled "The Happiness of Kati" and really wanted to create a novel that could make people feel touched like what I felt back then. Although I do agree that writing, to many people including myself, is a mean to be heard, I feel a bit disturbed that the video kind of giving off the vibe that writers only write for themselves. I believe that true writers don't just write for themselves, but to serve a bigger purpose like reaching out to those facing similar situation so that they know that they aren't alone. One book that came to my mind is Roxanne Gay's "Hunger," a heartbreaking and insightful autobiography about her relationship with food and her body. A decade has passed since I started dreaming to become a writer. Now I am collecting stories of people I have encountered in my life so that I can all this a plan, and not just a dream. Although I haven't complied them to become a novel, I know that I will do it one day when I've gained the wisdom and insight to crystallize what I have experienced through others. I wish to become a writer who can share stories of those who doesn't have the platform to share their voices to wider audiences. Chimananda Ngozi Adichie once said in her TED TALKS that "many stories matter." If we can live in the world where many people become a writer, people won't feel lonely being alone because they will know through reading that there are many others struggling with similar issues and that many people have overcome those.

The argument is that an IDEAL society wouldn't need writing, because in an ideal society everyone would be able to articulate their feelings and everyone else would immediately understand. Socrates knew this was a hypothetical situation, and that we could never actually get to this place. His point was that if we truly understood one another, and our conversations could convey our deepest stories and experiences, that would far exceed writing, as it would be an additive process that could compound and grow as more people contributed.

That "ideal" society sounds like a forgettable dystopia to me. Imagination and mythology are my passion. The idea of cutting away all of literature (and probably other art forms by the same logic, including music and visual art) in favor of some magically perfect community where face to face communication is everything...it sounds decidedly inhuman. Our minds are wired for more than that. And many of us with Asperger's and other interpersonal quirks have a very hard time imagining ever being able to be part of such a one-sided community.

Consider, though, that Socrates and Alain de Botton here are not proposing that we stride for this dystopia en masse, but are rather showing us the ingredients which make up the world we live in now. We are plagued by a ceaseless feeling of being unable to express ourselves, and this leads to the universal sense of loneliness. As you pointed out, we simply CANNOT live in a better world where articulating our feelings comes as naturally as breathing. But it may still be productive to imagine that world, if only to understand our failings in this one.

I know what you are trying to say but that is not the way to do it. Literature is what allows humanity to evolve and remain humane because it allows you to encounter ideas across your social reach, accross language, culture, and TIME. It is one of our biggest tools of the evolution of our consciousnesses. And it does not even apply to non fiction writing which is a completely different type of art.

Personally, this is very relatable. Though to others it might be too closed of an idea. I started writing around when I was 11 when our family faced problems. I wrote about a world where everything I wanted was. I finished a book impulsively because of that desire to live in a world far from home. I didn't write again until a year and a half later, but everything I wrote at that time was self-indulgent. It wasn't satisfying anymore, it was miserable. I knew I didn't have the things in those stories and got jealous. That stage lasted for two years and I kept ransacking my mind for the reason nothing was working: Did I not want to be a writer anymore? If so, what do I want? Turns out I still did want to be a writer, I just had to change how I viewed my writing. I slowly tried to improve myself to make myself less "lonely" in ways subjective to me in order to separate myself from my main characters and tell honest truths (themes) without being pretentious and envious. It hasn't been long since I started that process and I've struggled a lot, but I am doing my best to keep gong so I can write the story explaining my emotions and thoughts in a way that I myself know how that story ends because they are a part of me. They always will because those emotions are my past and they made me who I am. I know the process will have to keep going so I can finally, confidently say I've done it, I've written a story that I loved again, but I will endure. This is my personal experience. If this does not apply to you, that's fine. We all live, feel, and think differently. Write if you enjoy it. Write if you're happy doing it. Write for whatever reason you have. If it soothes you and helps you sort out your emotions like it does for me, just go and write. Writing is an outlet for everyone and everything.

* I am not a native english speaker so i apologize the broken english * I relate to your story and reasons for writing, when i was 18 and things were changing too fast, i was living on a city too far away from home all alone and isolated where a day blended with next, i started day dreaming of a world where i have friends, my family loves me and i've got all the things i had always wanted, a world where things just can't go right, after almost a year and a half of daydreams they have been less frecuent and have left me some very valuable lessons about myself and aid in the development of my view of the world even though daydream has been mostly negative too myself for the same reasons your first stories were painful to you. . . i could never have what i had in my daydreams and that was just devastating, also the fact that it made loose precious time since on most days my daydreams didn't leave me any valuable lessons but regardless i appreciate the journey now. I feel like the video is truthfully speaking to me since i want to write some stories based of my daydreams to teach mostly people like myself that the place that you find yourself now is where your meant to be, not in a dreamland of imposible scenarios of perfection, that the struggle is unavoidable and that's ok, that mistakes and awful circumstances will always exist and that is not pesimistic to accept such things, rather it is liberating to know the world is not meant to be perfect it simply is what it is. If you read this thank you, i hope you're still writing, also i want to thank you for you beautiful comment since i usually never write one and i wish you success!

Writing can be an enjoyable act of creation. We don’t imagine that people who garden or make pottery are doing so because they are lonely. You can also want to write because books helped you from a young age to think beyond your four walls - and maybe even gifted you life-changing wisdom - and you hope to pass that on to others. Or maybe writing is a meditative form of self exploration that cannot be done with others. This video takes a very dim view of people and the desire to create - storytelling extends well beyond recorded history. Keep writing, people :)

I disagree that the primary reason why we write is because we are trying to cope with loneliness. In my experience, writing doesn't take away the pain of loneliness, though, as a solitary activity, it can be a productive use of time spent alone, so one might be motivated to do so. The video claims our true calling is to "talk to our fellow man;" I don't disagree with this notion, but it's the idea that writing is a less fulfilling substitute that I do find unconvincing. Rather, by focusing our thoughts, writing helps us to know ourselves, our values, and what is truly important for us to share with others, so that we may be more deliberate in our interactions and relationships as a whole. Writing gives us the opportunity to listen to our own voice and thereby take control over our identities and how we want to be known. This is not an argument for caginess. This is an argument for having a deeper understanding and mastery over oneself in order to have more meaningful conversations--to better carry out our purpose as social AND creative beings. Attaining self-mastery can actually help to defeat loneliness, as it can help one to navigate life in a way that will lead one to building more numerous meaningful relationships.

Writing is a form of reflectiveness and daydreaming. Some of us aren't great at using our actual physical voice, but when it comes to blotting down on our free rein of creativeness, it's healing. This is a hobby and some people do things in solitude not because of loneliness. Some temperaments thrive off of making our own realities and sharing them with others in our own way.💌📝✒📚
@foodisalwaysthesolution36413 жыл бұрын
I started writing because I couldn't easily speak about my problems to anyone. I never thought I liked it or that it was my hobby because it was always like an escape or something I needed. Three years passed for me to realized it wasn't just a need but also something much more. I no longer have communication issues and I am very happy with my life. So I think it's true that many choose to write to cope with other problems but if you stick with this for some time it's definitely because you actually find it enjoyable. My opinion at least...

As a writer I disagree with this video’s theory. Writing can come from isolation, loneliness, suffering and the need to feel held and heard, but it doesn’t stop there. Writing is an urge to create art, just like any other forms of art, to document life, and celebrate the feelings and perspectives we have on the world around us. And in writing, we connect with resonated audience. Writing and verbal communication don’t have to be mutually exclusive. They exist along side each other, and promote communication and connection of our shared humanity.

Yes, the correct way to watch these videos is to interpret them as arguments, not certainty claims. This is the way things are done classically in academia, and I see a lot of confusion in the comments from those who aren't necessarily use to this style. As for Socrates, I don't think he was arguing that writing wasn't useful, he was just saying that in an ideal society wherein people could perfectly express their deepest and most hidden feelings and experiences, and others would understand them totally, conversing would have a kind of exponential growth to it.

Although the attempt is valiant, there are somethings that I don't agree with this. Firstly not all writing inspiration comes from a sense of desolation. Secondly, writing is a healthy coping mechanism for people who are dealing with various issues because it helps the person to figure things through their issues, since writing creates self-awareness and clarity. Thirdly, it's a great way for self exploration and discovery because you can write the most darkest inner parts of ourselves in a safe environment. While there are writers who do seek refuge in their stories, I do agree a person should not depend on it and seek help but writing really provides support for those who need it.

Writing is one way of doing this, though as you pointed out, there are many other ways.

One thing writers could do is try to get entry through social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. You can do long form posts there that do quite well. Might be great if you are writing a short story or a series.

But even short stories might be better told around the fire to large groups of relatives and friends night after night.

Writing on social media can itself be said to be fulfilling the purpose which writing has been doing since long time, filling the gap of social interactions.

After reading so much throughout my life and watching so many films, as a creative person, I would like to stamp my mark in History by writing about a world I have created in my head over years, inspired by all of these pieces of literature . If everybody took this approach, there would not be that ‘gem’ of a book out there. I may also add, I am not lonely, I am happy and happily married with two teenage children 😃

So in other words, you write because you’re lonely.

I have tried talking to my friends and family. The people in my life who care have their own problems, and the ones who have time don't care. The only person I have is my best friend, Jacob. But he isn't available at every given moment, and I ma okay with that. So on occasion, when no one is there, I write down my feelings and emotions into a story so that I can show it to people when they're ready.

I’ve wanted to write a book since I was 4. It’s the story. Not lonely at all.
