Acharya Prashant explains that the feeling of being 'estranged' or 'alienated' in relationships often arises because the initial sense of 'belonging' was based on a false foundation of selfishness, delusion, and pretense. He asserts that when the internal falsehood within a person begins to dissolve, the false attachments in their relationships also fall away. This process, though painful, prepares the ground for a genuine connection, which may initially feel unfamiliar or 'alien' because it does not conform to worldly definitions of love and attachment.
