A fully functioning human
To psychotherapist Carl Rogers, the loneliest state is not the loneliness of social relationships, but a separation from one's own experience. Rogers developed the notion of the "fully functioning person" that is characterized as:

- Develops a trust in their own experiences
- Is accepting of the locus of evaluation that is within themselves
- Is learning to live their life by participating and discovering new aspects of themselves.
