孤独成态
[gū dú chéng tài]
'Gu Du Cheng Tai', which translates into 'Loneliness Forms a State', suggests an extreme state of loneliness or solitude that almost takes on a life of its own. Instead of feeling lonely just as a momentary mood or temporary state, here, loneliness becomes a defining condition, a permanent part of one's state of being, reflecting an intense inner world and perhaps a sense of estrangement from others around.
