Cultural Note

Samotność has a dual meaning — negative loneliness and positive solitude. 'Strach przed samotnością' (fear of loneliness) is one of the most commonly cited reasons Poles stay in unhappy relationships. The positive side — 'chwila samotności' (a moment of solitude) — is increasingly valued in Polish self-care culture.
