About this listen

Margaret, a 47-year-old woman, gradually withdraws from friends, family, and coworkers after years of feeling emotionally drained by their constant problems. What begins as a relief—peaceful silence and freedom from others’ anxieties—slowly turns into deep isolation. Living alone, avoiding calls, and declining invitations, she finds her days blending together in quiet emptiness. One evening, surrounded by silence and ignored messages, Margaret realizes she has carefully built a life without connection and begins to question when and how she became so alone.
