Accidental Alienation

People do not intend to cut themselves off from one another.  Alienation is not an intentional thing.  It is that sometimes we are afraid and do not know how to be.  Because of our fear we find ourselves alone with ourselves, and not wanting to be.  The fear is real and may have grown out of real threats, but now it is not just happening to us.  It has become us, leaving no room for who we would rather be.
