9 Reasons Why People Who Like Spending Time Alone Are Mentally Strong by BestOnlineDeals(m): 12:23pm On Jan 28, 2017 |
Seeking solitude can actually be quite healthy. It isn’t just a professional plus; it’s also good for your mental and emotional well-being. To get the most out of life, you must learn to enjoy spending time alone. This is what the mentally strong people do. In this pro-social world, we are strongly influenced in favour of being with people, or at least constantly interacting with others, be it through social media or other electronic means. We are always going somewhere, doing something or at least chatting to someone about going somewhere or doing something. But seeking solitude can be quite healthy. This is a healthy habit mentally strong people have. Here are reasons why it makes them mentally strong. They Have An Understanding Of Who They Are The reality is that we were born alone and are meant to die alone. Some solitude offers you the opportunity to discover this reality; that you are unique and you do not need any comparison with anyone. Success can come from understanding who you are and what you want out of life. They Are More Focused According to a study, students who studied alone fared better than students who studied in groups. Such study identified that students who spent time during solitary reflection had a more improved concentration. Better concentration leads to success in school and in your professional life. They Have Better Relationships Spending time alone offers the mentally strong a better understanding of yourself and what you desire in life. You can identify the relationships that will make you better and that are necessary to your growth. Also, the relationships are better appreciated after you spend some time alone. They Are Relieved From Anxiety Stress builds up in our lives and it is difficult to differentiate between ourselves and what is within. Spending time alone offers us the opportunity to slow down, catch a deep breath and set our minds straight. During this process, we rid our minds of thoughts that are negative and unnecessary. Less anxiety allows for a time of innovation and self-searching. They Make Smarter Decisions Solitude gives the opportunity to think through every action you are about to take. You can be willing to stand for anything you want to commit yourself to. Solitude helps the mentally strong find their own voice and your identity instead of following the pack. They Attack Problems Effectively No one’s life is free of problems or challenges. Yet, through the constant noise and distractions, it is difficult to have a clear head as to what actions should be taken. You need some time to analyse and actualize. Solitude makes them see problems as temporary setbacks rather than becoming overwhelmed by them. “ALL MEN’S MISFORTUNES SPRING FROM THEIR HATRED OF BEING ALONE.” – JEAN DE LA BRUYERE They Show Appreciation To the Simple Things Of Life Solitude makes the mentally strong see life from a clear perspective. They are not looking for sophistication or ambiguity rather do they desire them during solitude. However, you can appreciate their being, their time and such details that they may never have been aware of. You can sift thoughts and cherish what is valuable. They Get More Done Do you have a list of things you need to do, want to do? Is your list one of these that never seems to get any shorter because you are always too busy to get around to doing the things on the list? Spending time on their own allows them uninterrupted time to get these things done. They may or may not enjoy doing them, depending on what is on their list, but they will definitely feel better for having finished them. They will emerge with less stress, less weighing on their mind and the satisfaction of a job well done. They Become More Relaxed And Tolerant Do you sometimes feel irritable and get easily annoyed with people? Do you find a great many “jerks” around you at times? The more annoying people appear to you, and more of them there are, the more you could benefit from some time on your own. You cannot change the world, you cannot change what other people say or do. But you can change your perspective on them. After some calm, peaceful time on your own doing whatever pleases you, or doing nothing at all, you will find the annoyances in life shrink dramatically because you are now relaxed and more tolerant.

Introversion is not necessarily better than extroversion, neither does solitude always translate to strength of mind. Depends on individual. 5 Likes 1 Share |

True op, though being an Introvert might have its bad sides, but there's nothing as fascinating as deriving joy from your own company instead of being too dependent on others before you can have fun. I used to view Introversion as a deficiency, a limitation and some kind of curse, but now my perspective has changed, its a blessing, a privilege and a rare one at that. 1 Like 1 Share |
