I only feel like myself when I am alone.

Peter Cameron
I only feel like myself when I am alone.
I only feel like myself when I am alone.
I only feel like myself when I am alone.
I only feel like myself when I am alone.
About This Quote

This quote is actually a reference to the works of writer Fran Lebowitz, who said, “only connect.” The idea is that when we are connected with other people, we lose our sense of self. We become less ourselves and more like everyone else around us. When we are alone, we can be ourselves. We can be who we really are, for once. When you feel like yourself again, you feel like your old, happy self again.
