Okay let me see what I can write here.

Newsflash ! I don't know.

Being alone should never be confused with being lonely. Many come to me and ask that “Isn’t being alone boring?”- No, it isn’t.

Being alone doesn’t mean cutting off from the world. People who enjoy solitude still have their eyes and ears on the world. They are very aware of what’s happening in the world. In contrast, people who are alone most of the time are more confident and intelligent.

Being alone lets you live life at your own pace. Instead of adjusting to someone else’s timetable or routine, you have the flexibility of practically doing everything you want. After you come back from classes or work, you have ample time. Time to try out stuff you always wanted to but never did. Learn an entire new skill and be good at it.

It’s true that people who spend time alone know more about themselves. And that’s the reason why they are considered more intelligent. Because a person is definitely considered intelligent when they know their own strengths and weaknesses. People who spend time alone understand themselves better because they reflect and grow. Likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, limits, triggers etc. That also gives them edge over people who seldom have time for themselves.

They are introvert by choice. That doesn’t mean that they won’t talk to you or avoid crowd. They just have a better understanding of the environment because of the time they have invested in learning the ability to observe.

So, next time anyone warns you from being alone, tell them you are learning about yourself. We all learn about subjects and courses, but what we forget is that the person learning should be first aware of themselves.
