The Science of Solitude: Why We Choose to Stay Home.
Why does a "fun" holiday gathering trigger the same biological alarm system as a survival threat in your brain?
This video decodes the physiology of withdrawal, explaining why the urge to isolate is not a personality defect but a valid neurological event. Far from being laziness or depression, this behavior is often a complex psychological response to sensory processing sensitivity and a depleted nervous system.
From the hyper-vigilance of the Amygdala to the crushing weight of Performative Happiness, we analyze the hidden architecture of this phenomenon. We will explore Cortisol dysregulation, the "Fawn" response in childhood, and why your need for silence is not a rejection of others, but a desperate attempt at self-regulation.
