The power of solitude

Do you feel bad when you are Alone?

What kind of emotions do you experience while being alone?
Do you feel bored?
Do you feel unhappy?
do you feel bad?

By nature we should all be social persons, we should be enjoying the company of other people and enjoying activities that allow us to share our emotions with someone else. But the problem is, if you do feel real bad when being alone instead of just feeling normal or a little bored then you may lack the power of solitude.

The power of Solitude

The power of solitude is the expression that is used to describe the state of feeling good and adequate on being alone. We do not say that you should be always staying alone but at least when you are alone you shouldn’t feel that bad.

What makes a person unable to stay alone is the external dependency, just like some people are dependant on drugs others are dependant on being with other people.

Why do i feel bad when am Alone?

If you were having no current big problems in your life most likely you will be able to satisfy yourself while staying alone, whether you will watch a movie or go for a walk, you will be feeling good although you are doing it alone.

On the other hand when being down you may start to become more dependant on being with someone else to escape your emotions and to avoid facing your problems. So we can say that the power of solitude is not constant as it changes with the external circumstances.

There is no problem in escaping to social life when having problems provided that you are aware that you are currently facing a problem, what you should be doing is trying to fix these problem while doing this healthy escapement.

Finally know that if you are happy alone then you are going to be much more happier when being with people as sharing our emotions acts a multiplier these emotions. to summarize it all, Escape to social relations but dont escape solving your problems.2knowmyself is not a simple article website nor it’s a place where you will find shallow fixes, but it’s a place where you will find effective techniques that are backed by psychology and that are presented in an obvious and understandable format.

I don't mind being alone, being around people I still feel alone.
What is the difference between lonliness and aloneness?
99 percent of the time I do not feel lonely.
because I find most relationships with family and friends seem so meaningless.

Thanks

maybe you should read the article about intimacy and how to develop intimate relationships. It's the one about feeling alone even when you are with friends.
