Some people think being alone is a bad thing. The common assumption is you are antisocial, criminal, or have some other problem dealing with people. This is because we have been taught that humans are social animals and always need other humans by our side. But it’s not always possible. Not everyone has the luxury of having other compatible humans to live with. For example, many become orphans early in life, or find it difficult to marry, or make friends, etc. Or they lose their parents and close relatives by the time they cross 30 years.
However, being alone isn’t always a bad thing. Here are a bunch of benefits that materialize once you learn to embrace solitude.
You can recharge – When we spend all our time with others we are expending a lot of energy. Interacting with people involves making them happy, make them laugh, soothe their egos, read their minds, avoid conflicts, and all of the other hassles that come along with regular interaction. But if you are alone then you can direct that energy for your self-improvement.
Creativity – Without distractions from other people your creative mind crawls out. It’s like colourful birds coming out when you are bird watching quietly in a forest. Being alone also allows you to be immersed with your own thoughts and discover your own voice. It’s in these solitude times when you discover your true identity and means of expression. You are free from any interruptions or outside opinions. It is just your own voice.
