Solitude manifests in many ways, sometimes imposed by external circumstances, sometimes arising from our own inner world. This report explores these different facets of solitude and how they can interact to shape our life experience.

Introduction

Inner solitude is often silent, hidden behind a smile or an empty gaze. It contrasts with outer solitude, which is more visible and stems from situations such as social isolation or the loss of a loved one.
