I love being alone
Do you feel the older we get, the more enjoyable being alone?
We all know that we as humans are social beings. We were created with the needs of having a community to survive. It’s one of human’s nature and it never changes. At least for now, being independent from our community is getting easier than yesterday. Technology is the trigger of this phenomenon. There’s a lot of research and opinions about the impact of technology to our current beings as humans, whether it is positive or negative. Anyway, we won’t talk about it. My point is that our current situation helps us to be more independent.
I’d rather eat alone with my favorite meal rather than eat together, but I can’t enjoy the meal.
I’d rather watch my fav kdrama/film alone rather than watch with others.

I’d rather walk alone to the place I want to visit rather than visit an undesired place together.
I’d rather work alone rather than work together and in the end the work becomes more complicated since there’s a lot of ideas.
I’d rather talk to myself about my problem rather than share it to others and in the end get sadder cause it doesn’t meet my expectation.
I have many things that I’d rather do by myself.
It seems like doing it all alone brings much peace to me. Of course, I still having the needs of hanging around — talk to my friends. Yet, the enjoyment of being alone gives me different satisfaction.
So yeah, every time people have mercy on me for being alone, I actually don’t know how to react lol. Because for me, there’s nothing to be ashamed of from being alone, instead It’s something I’m thankful for. Being alone always helps me to focus on myself and get conscious of all the happenings in my life, my values, my respect for myself, and many more. That’s why I love being alone.
