Why do people feel disconnected from others, even when they share a past?

A shared experience can feel different for each person involved. One person may feel like a guest in a familiar place. Another person may feel a loss that is not yet understood by others.

The rule

A shared experience can feel different for each person involved.

One person may feel like a guest in a familiar place. Another person may feel a loss that is not yet understood by others.

People can feel like a guest in a place that was once their home. This feeling shows a big change in a relationship. The past is now like a museum. It is a place to visit, not a place to live. One person might feel sad about what they are losing. Another person might feel sad about what is already gone. Both people are sad, but at different times. This makes them feel out of sync. People often compare their own life to what others show online. Online, people show only the best parts of their life. A person sees their own life with all its problems. This comparison can make a person feel like they are behind. Sometimes, silence can hurt more than an argument. In the past, people might have fought often. Now, there is no fighting, but also no connection. The lack of connection causes pain.

A student returns home after their first year at college. The student asks their parent where the plates are kept. The parent feels a pang of sadness. The student is now a guest in their childhood home.
