Some people said that being alone is bad
or not a good thing. It will feel you more miserable; it will make you
anti-social or become an introvert. But then, on the other hand; being alone is
not really a bad thing because being alone can help you in many ways.

Being alone will help you to be more
responsible or independent on things because you do things alone and you’re
used to work on some activities by yourself. Well, it doesn’t mean that you’re
being selfish. It’s just that, there are things that you must do on your own.
Some people think that it is much faster to finish a work by yourself rather
than being in a group. Maybe that group is lacking teamwork and cooperation.
Being alone helps you to reminisce good memories that will make you inspired or
eager to finish your work or whatever activity. Well, that depends on the
person because some uses this time of being alone to commit suicide or
anything. Being distant from everyone else can help us energize ourselves. Often times when we’re
surrounded by other people, we’re expending a lot of energy.

Trying to keep others happy, make them
laugh, soothe their egos, read their emotions, and all the other rigors that
come along with regular interaction. It can be mentally draining if you’re
constantly connected to many people. A little alone time lets you recharge and
take a break from the emotionally and mentally taxing job of constant
interaction. Being alone gives you the perfect opportunity for a little self
reflection. Our life is always moving at a crazy fast pace. So fast in fact,
that it’s probably rare when you have a moment alone to sit and reflect on your
life. Since we aren’t spending too much time processing the thoughts and
feelings of others, it’s the best time to turn your focus inwards. Being alone
will help you get in touch with our own emotions.
When we’re surrounded by
other people all the time, we’re trying to read, and cater to, the other
person’s emotions. So much so, that you could end up losing touch with your
own. When you start to enjoy being alone, you’ll gain a greater perspective for
your own emotions. You’ll create a deeper understanding of what makes you
happy, what upsets you and what saddens you. With that, it’s much easier to
regulate your emotions.
But it all starts with understanding how you feel, and
that comes from a little bit of solitude. You’ll start doing things that you
actually enjoy if you’re alone. When you’re in a company of people, you’re
always making compromises in order to find a solution that the entire group can
enjoy. And unfortunately, the things you want most, may not always line up with
what the group wants. So it’s better to enjoy being alone once you realize that
doing so gives you more freedom to do things you actually want to do. When you
start to enjoy being alone, you’ll quickly see that solitude means you don’t
have to keep apologizing for what you’ve done.
So often, we do things that end
up upsetting other people, or hurting someone else’s feelings, and then have to
quickly apologize for it. But when you’re alone, you don’t have to apologize
for anything. And that takes a lot of pressure out of most situations. You get
to stop second guessing everything you say, or every move you make because
you’re afraid someone is going to be offended, or saddened, and angered.
“The
best part about being alone is that you really don’t have to answer anybody.
You do what you want.” – Justin
Timberlake
And to sum up, solitude could help us in
many ways. It doesn’t mean that you’re anti-social or whatever if you’re alone.
It’s just that it’s much easier and better to be alone rather than being in a
crowd.
