What is being alone? It does not mean that you are alone, you are alone, you are just “alone”. The focus of solitude is “place”, which refers to an objective state of not communicating with others.
Obviously, a person chatting with another person on WeChat at home is not really alone.
So, you might as well ask yourself 2 questions first:
① Are you alone because you didn’t have an appointment to accompany you? If so, then maybe you don’t want to be alone at the moment, you are being alone, so it is easy to have a negative experience.
② Do you deliberately let yourself be alone because you know the benefits of being alone? If so, you may have an idea of being proud of being alone, but you don’t really enjoy the fun of being alone. Psychologists put forward the concept of “active solitude”, which means that being alone should be an active choice, and not for the purpose of being alone, but to better pay attention to and develop oneself. Therefore, the point of being alone is to pay attention to who you are in the moment. The feeling of being alone is great because you can get away from other people and things and simply stay with yourself. You can do the following things:
① How to make yourself comfortable. For example, you can disregard your image, wear clothes that you like but can’t go out to meet people, you can make all kinds of strange screams as you want, and in short, you can remove your personality mask and return to your true self and relax yourself.
② You can also go to fitness, practice yoga, or have close contact with nature and art, or simply go to bed early. Caring for your health and embracing your own physical feelings are also a good way to recharge your soul. Being alone is actually taking care of yourself, so you don’t necessarily have to “do something”. When you allow yourself to do nothing and sincerely let go of your guard and face yourself, you are alone.
