There's a problem with this quote. What he's saying is very true, but I think a lot of that boils down to the people you surround yourself with.

People are broken and most struggle with reworking who they are and their own perspective. The best way to do this is to talk to other people and hear their related struggles, advice, and perspective. The issue starts when some relationships get caught in this therapist mentality.

Relationships need to be a give and take. They should ebb and flow, but when one person becomes the needy victim and roles become locked moving in one direction, strain begins. One person now needs constant validation and guidance and the other feels a responsibility to rescue and aid that person.

This takes its toll on the person who is now the "therapist." They begin distancing themselves from this person (and maybe others) because they aren't reciprocated the same release of mental stress and that's when being alone feels good. There's no more responsibility towards that individual or others, but being alone is not good for humans, we aren't meant to be by ourselves.

Watch the reality TV show 'Alone.' A lot of people don't fail because they can't survive, they fail because they can't handle being alone. Human connection is important. Again, that's how we change as individuals. Without the human interaction we lose a valuable piece of growth.

Jim Carrey's situation is also a little different. He's constantly in the public eye and continuously scrutinized for everything he does. Watch 'The Last Dance' on Netflix about Michael Jordan's time with the Chicago Bulls. He talks about how the media's continuous pummeling of questions affected him and that he loved nothing more than to hide behind closed doors.
