When people feel deeply let down by others, they often stop seeking answers through human connection. Instead, they may start looking toward randomness, signs, or the natural world for comfort and meaning. This shift is not just emotional — it reflects a breakdown in trust and a reorientation toward something that feels more consistent or honest.
Human relationships can be messy, full of miscommunication, betrayal, and unmet expectations. When someone is repeatedly hurt, dismissed, or misunderstood, they may begin to feel that people are unreliable or even dangerous. In that space of disappointment, nature or randomness can feel like a safer place to place belief.
Nature doesn’t lie. A tree grows or it doesn’t. The sky is blue or grey. Animals act from instinct, not hidden agendas. For someone who’s been surrounded by manipulation or conflict, the neutrality of nature can offer a deep kind of relief. It simply exists, without asking for anything back.
Randomness, too, can feel strangely comforting. If the world feels unfair, unpredictable, or painful, then leaning into randomness can make it easier to accept what happens. When people feel powerless, they might use chance — flipping a coin, pulling a tarot card, reading signs in the weather — as a way of making sense of life without placing faith in people.
This isn’t about superstition or magical thinking. It’s about survival. When the human world fails someone, the natural world or the idea of fate may become their substitute for connection, clarity, and peace. It’s a way of finding something that feels pure or outside the reach of human failure.
Eventually, some people return to others. They rebuild trust slowly, through rare but meaningful relationships. Others stay outside, finding solace in silence, landscape, or uncertainty. Neither is wrong. What matters is recognizing that these choices are not empty. They are shaped by experience, pain, and the deep human need for something that feels real.
