Learn to enjoy your own company. You are the one person you can count on living with for the rest of your life.
-Ann Richards
When I was in my traveling phase of life I went most places by myself. So many persons told me they could never do that and I still get that statement. I never found it hard to be by myself, I was alone but never lonely. As the quote mentioned I learned very early in life to enjoy my own company and I can still do it. Just give me some music and a good book and life is good. I have found out from persons just by talking that they have to be with others as they feel lonely. I also know others that don’t feel lonely when by themselves. Which one are you? I wonder if it’s the personality that helps to determine how you feel. So I’m an introvert and I have always like my own company from I was a child, I didn’t need to have family or friends around to be fine. I would be at home and nobody would know that I’m there and that still happens.
Are you lonely when you are alone or are you in your own zone? Do you have to have persons around to feel comfortable in your own skin? Do you feel comfortable no matter what? As we get older is it that we feel more inclined to want to not be alone or is the opposite, as we get older we are more likely to always want persons around us? I was also wondering if it’s a constant need to not be alone and thus lonely or if it happens only sometimes.
During Covid we realized that many persons were lonely because they were alone. So many were not able to cope with the “stresses” of not seeing and interacting with others. We are after all social beings. Some need to have the constant presence of others and that’s why they never did well with online learning and working. Was it that they truly missed having persons around them or was it just being able to talk to persons face to face and not just via a mobile apps. Is it just the need for human communication or the need to just see persons. 🤔. Is it just having them in the space for the comfort? If that is the situation why was it that some persons felt as if they were going mad having family around them all the time? I wonder.🤔
Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear

I can totally relate Andrea. There is nothing more valuable to me than peace of mind. Sometimes you have to mute all the noice, unplug, and go completely offline in me-time, to recalibrate and preserve your sanity. I love spending time with me.
