8 Things People Who Like To Be Alone Never Worry About
For some people, being alone is terrifying.
For others, moments of solitude bring comfort.
Whatever your stance on solitude is, spending time alone is an important step in personal
growth and development.
It brings emotional independence and security.
And as you spend more time with yourself, your worrying thoughts will steadily diminish.
That’s why people who enjoy alone time never worry about the following things:
Number 1 - Other People’s Opinions
Those who spend much of their time alone tend to be more confident.
Instead of seeking external validation by impressing others or avoiding criticism in
social situations, they feel comfortable being themselves.
People who enjoy alone time are self-assured, and they don’t worry about what others think
about them.
Since they aren’t concerned with how others perceive them, they don’t second guess their
thoughts, actions, and feelings.
Number 2 - Having To Prove Themselves
Being alone has its perks.
People who don’t spend a lot of time around others don’t have to worry about proving
themselves because most of the time, there’s no-one to prove anything to.
Gifted with confidence, people who like to be alone, recognize that just because someone
doesn’t like them, doesn’t mean they need to change who they are.
And even though they understand that people can be judgemental, they are OK with it.
When someone doesn’t like them, it’s just one less person to worry about.
Number 3 - Doing Things They Don’t Want To
Some people have a hard time saying no or end up in situations they’d rather avoid.
People who prefer to spend their time alone don’t experience this internal conflict
as much because they usually do what they want, when they want to.
Take for example, a party.
Most people go, perhaps because they feel obligated, or they’re afraid of being stuck
at home, alone, and bored.
But for those who spend most of their time in solitude, if they don’t feel like going
somewhere, they don’t.
Alone time doesn’t equal boredom, it just means more free time to do what they want.
Number 4 - Finding Something To Say
Conversations can sometimes be challenging, and most people want to avoid those awkward
lulls.
On the other hand, people who don’t spend much time with others, don’t have to worry
about coming up with new topics or stories.
They know their interests and they don’t feel compelled to play ‘pretend’ just
for the sake of entertaining a conversation.
Number 5 - Missing Out
People who prefer being alone don’t experience the fear of missing out.
They won’t attend an event just because they don’t want to miss out.
If they do attend, it’s because they genuinely want to.
They have a good instinct for what plans are worthwhile and if the company will be good
or not.
And they make decisions about what they want by using their internal compass, not by giving
into fear.
People who like solitude see being alone as an opportunity, not wasted time.
So, when they actually decide that they’d rather be social than alone, it’s probably
going to be a great experience.
Number 6 - Needing Time To Think
For some people, life is so hectic they never have time to think.
People who like to be alone don’t find themselves wishing they could just have a moment to think.
They have an abundance of quiet time to themselves, and they often relax with introspection.
Solitude allows them to explore their minds and wonder about the world around them.
They enjoy being in their heads, and they never worry about not having enough time to
think.
Number 7 - Having To Lie Or Exaggerate
People who enjoy solitude tend to be more honest with themselves and others.
They feel secure in their identity and never lie or exaggerate just to seem more ‘cool’.
They aren’t overly concerned with collecting followers, phone numbers, or friends, or impressing
people with their knowledge or reach.
So they never name drop, pretend, or embellish reality.
Number 8 - Being Alone
It might seem obvious, but people who prefer being alone never worry about being alone.
To them, the idea of never getting married, or living alone forever, isn’t scary.
Their best relationship is, and always will be, with themselves - and they take pride
in that.
People who like to be alone are able to give themselves all the validation they need, which
means they won’t settle for a relationship just because they feel like they have to be
in one.
And ultimately, this makes them much happier in the long run.
Those who prefer solitude are often negatively labeled as loners or hermits, but they deserve
respect and admiration.
The ability to feel comfortable in your own skin when you’re entirely by yourself is
a highly admirable quality.
And not letting the fear of being alone dictate your life means that you’ll be able to live
more authentically.
Loving your alone time is about feeling confident and having a healthy relationship with yourself.
Those who hate being alone may be stressing themselves out by trying to fill that void.
While most people worry, those who embrace solitude spend their time creating, growing,
and developing.
