Is there a benefit to being alone?

As above, do you guys like to be alone at times?

I do at times and it is never something to be ashamed of. Like it's nice just to be alone in your hole with nothing needing doing.

How do you guys feel?

I'm an introvert and prefer to be alone. I really don't like the general narrative out there that, if you are not extroverted, there is something wrong with you. Enjoying your alone time is a perfectly healthy thing to do, and nobody should feel as though they should justify that or qualify it by adding that it is nothing to be ashamed of (implying that others will see it as shameful).

Whilst extroverts prefer to spend less time alone, it is not the only way to be happy, and trying to force an introvert into an extrovert mould only makes them miserable and exhausted.

Solitude is absolute bliss :smile:
