Solitude can help you know yourself, which can make you a better partner, friend, mom, dad. When we're in our "normal" social world, many of us get a little worried about what others are thinking about us, what we're wearing, how we look, etc. Being alone not only gives you a break from those imaginary criticisms, but it also allows you to mull over your own thoughts & feelings. It's only when you walk away from that & spend time alone that you can clarify what you believe. This is actually much more valuable than you might think.
Having unique opinions & a thoughtful perspective makes you a more interesting person: the kind of person other people want to be around, & the kind of person who likes, and WANTS, to spend time with oneself. What are you discovering about YOU?
