6 Psychological Reasons You Start Avoiding People More
as You Age and Why It's Completely Normal.
As we grow older, something strange starts to happen—we begin to avoid people more. But it’s not because we’ve turned bitter or cold. It’s because our priorities, energy, and understanding of peace evolve with age. In this video, we explore six deep psychological reasons why seniors withdraw from social circles—and why it’s not only normal but often healthy.
GARCIN: Will night never come?
INEZ: Never.
GARCIN: You will always see me?
INEZ: Always.
GARCIN: This bronze. Yes, now's the moment; I'm looking at this thing on the
mantelpiece, and I understand that I'm in hell. I tell you, everything's been thoughtout
beforehand. They knew I'd stand at the fireplace stroking this thing of bronze, with all
those eyes intent on me. Devouring me. What? Only two of you? I thought there were
more; many more. So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. You remember all we were
told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the "burning marl." Old wives'
tales! There's no need for red-hot pokers.
HELL IS - OTHER PEOPLE! ESTELLE: My darling! Please-
GARCIN: No, let me be. She is between us. I cannot love you when she's watching.
ESTELLE: Right! In that case, I'll stop her watching. (She picks up the PAPER knife and
stabs Inez several times.)
INEZ: But, you crazy creature, what do you think you're doing? You know quite well I'm
dead.
ESTELLE: Dead?
INEZ: Dead! Dead! Dead! Knives, poison, ropes— useless. It has happened already, do
you understand? Once and for all. SO here we are, forever.
ESTELLE: Forever. My God, how funny! Forever.
GARCIN: For ever, and ever, and ever.
(A long silence.)
GARCIN: Well, well, let's get on with it...
The End
