Conversations | Being Alone

Do you like to be alone? Well, I am a person who needs space and besides the physical sort, I need distance from others. This may sound really awful and bizarre, but people kind of suffocates me so aloneness is something I crave because in some way makes me feel peaceful and free.

I think that being alone and being lonely are two different things and do I like to be alone, but I hate being lonely plus being alone does not necessarily involve loneliness. Can you understand me here?

I love to get my things done and kind of (re)connecting with myself because social life can be exhausting and sometimes I just need to be in my own world and relax, so the sensation of being able to appreciate some me-time it's amazing. Plus I'm more likely to be lonely in a group of people.

Some people say that being alone is a great way to discover who you are, learn to appreciate yourself and just the way you are, so go ahead and take some you-time and do something for yourself. Lie down on the grass, watch videos, appreciate the sky, listen to music, paint your nails, ride your bike, watch your favorite movie, read a book, experiment a new way to get your hair done, cook, dance, think about the things that are happening in your life, for a couple of minutes or hours just do whatever you want and spend some quality time with yourself.

I hope you can understand what I was trying to say. I don't hate people or something like that.

Lots of hugs, A
