Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.
D.H. Lawrence, in "Lady Chatterley's Lover," reflects on the notion of true connection and solitude. He suggests that those who genuinely experience togetherness often possess a unique aura that signifies their loneliness, as if they are solitary beings amidst a crowded world. This deep sense of individuality contrasts with the majority who conform and cling to societal norms, lacking that profound understanding of solitude.
The idea of “stickiness” relates to how some people are unable to break away from the social masses. Rather than fostering authentic relationships, they remain entangled in group dynamics, which may prevent them from experiencing genuine togetherness. In essence, Lawrence highlights a dichotomy in human experience: the profound loneliness of true individuals versus the superficial connections of the conformists.
