Being Alone Can Make You Happier

10/02/2020 by Marie

Introverts Rejoice – Being Alone Is Good For You

I’m an introvert. That’s not to say I’m not social or don’t have a lot of friends. It just means that I do everything in my power to find “me time.” I’m most wound-up after work, where I have been interacting with people all day in an open office environment. So, when I get home, the last thing I want to do is speak to people. Ideally, I would spend my entire evening alone with a book, or a TV show or a project. Every evening.

Introverts are energised from being alone. Extroverts are energised from being with people.

The problem is that between the pinging of my phone, expectations of friends and family, and realities of work and life, it’s a constant struggle. The world just isn’t built for introverts, and I feel the pressure to be present and available.

My story is not uncommon, estimates are that anywhere from 20-50 per cent of the population are introverts, or have some introverted tendencies or characteristics (if you prefer to think of introversion and extroversion on a sliding scale or spectrum).

The World Is Built For Social Interaction

It is well documented that social connection is important to happiness. Humans evolved from tight-knit families and hunter-gatherer groups, where being alone or separated from the group often led to death. In modern times, the importance of community remains.

So it stands to reason that much of the design of modern western society is geared to supporting and rewarding positive social connection. In sports and at work, the happy, outgoing, positive and popular people are given leadership positions, and the quiet achievers are often overlooked. The world is an extrovert’s playground, from large school classrooms to group projects at university and now open office environments.

For an introvert — someone who craves a quiet place to think and work — being successful in this world can be tough. It’s a never-ending juggling act of showing up and ‘being seen’ while constantly searching for opportunities to get away to recharge by yourself or get some quiet time.

This isn’t to say that (most) introverts don’t want or need to be around people, it’s just that we need more balance between time with and time without other people. Extroverts and introverts are all social beings, it’s just the degrees of contact that vary. And the science backs that up. Be social we’re told, it’s the key to happiness and helps prevents loneliness.

Extroverts – Not Only Introverts – Should Seek Alone Time

But does it hold true then, that all our time should be spent on social pursuits? And that we should never be unsocial?

It turns out the answer is no, and we may have been overlooking the benefits to being alone. In fact, the research shows that the introvert’s constant search for ‘me time’ could be making them happier and more creative.

Russian researchers Martin Lynch, Sergey Ishanov and Dmitry Leontiev have investigated the phenomenon of positive solitude, where people choose to spend time alone for contemplation, reflection or creativity. They found that being alone leads to more positive emotions, like relaxation and calm, and having a greater sense of pleasure and meaning.

A study discussed in Medical News Today also confirms that individuals who have balance between social interaction and periods of chosen isolation are highly  creative. The study found that being too shy or avoiding people is not good for individuals, but simply choosing to spend time alone isn’t a bad thing, in fact quite the opposite.

According to lead researcher, University of Buffalo’s Julie Bowker, some individuals spend more time alone than others, but also regularly spend time socialising. This group of individuals “may get just enough peer interaction so that when they are alone, they are able to enjoy that solitude. They’re able to think creatively and develop new ideas — like an artist in a studio or the academic in his or her office.”

Finally, it’s worth pointing out that for me, being alone also gives me a chance to unwind from stress and re-balance. It’s my personal form of mediation, minus the meditation. Working from home one day a week has helped with my resiliency, allowing me to cope better with a busy and often stressful world around me. It’s the day I am most productive and feel the most satisfaction with what I achieve throughout the week.

Being Alone Is NOT Feeling Lonely

A quick sidebar… to be clear, being alone is not the same as feeling lonely.

Being alone is a deliberate choice to spend time away from others in contrast with the unpleasant experience of feeling lonely, which can be detrimental to your health.

Over the last decade, there has been an increased focus on the dangers of loneliness. Brigham Young University researchers showed that social isolation increases premature death by 50 per cent. Loneliness is also associated with increased blood pressure, cholesterol levels and depression, and decreased cognitive abilities and Alzheimer’s disease.

More than that, in our modern society we’re learning that loneliness is not just a problem for older generations – who are more prone to suffering from isolation – it has also become an area of concern for the young. The Young Australian Loneliness Survey showed that loneliness is common among adolescents and young adults, a significant proportion reported problematic levels of loneliness. This included one in six adolescents (aged 12–17) and more than one in three young adults (aged 18–25).

It’s clear there is a global loneliness problem that we need to look into solving. But, that’s for another time, and is not the topic of this article. So, back to being alone.

3 Steps To Being Alone (Not Lonely)

The research shows that being alone can make you happier and more creative. It is also a key factor in finding flow, which is again linked to happiness and satisfaction. And introverts have long used alone time to ensure positive mental health.

Why not book a date with yourself today? Here’s how…

  1. Schedule Alone Time

If your usual MO is all about filling every waking hour with family, friends and activities, being alone might feel a bit weird to start with. The first step is to schedule some “me time.” So, plan a date with yourself, block out your calendar and tell your family you are taking some time for you.

  1. Find an Activity That Works For You

There are many things that you can choose to do, the only limitation is that you do it alone and without interruptions. You could plan a self-care or pamper date with yourself – go to the spa, or get a massage, have a long bath. You could go to a coffee shop or space you enjoy and read a book for a few hours. Maybe you could sign up to learn meditation or yoga, or go for a walk in nature, or plan to do something awe-inspiring.

  1. Be Mindful With Your Alone Time

Once you’ve scheduled your “me time” you have to make sure you get the benefits! That means silencing or turning off your phone and setting expectations that you won’t be contactable. It also means being mindful during the experience. Make sure you stop to appreciate the moments and take the time to be with your thoughts.

It is rather unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has already been able to to tackle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, and also the first ever true global downturn. Through it all the industry has really proven to be effective, resilient along with dynamic, finding new methods to deal with misfortune. There are constantly fresh issues and the possiblility to which the field must just as before adapt and behave.

    Thanks for the new stuff you have revealed in your text. One thing I would really like to comment on is that FSBO interactions are built after a while. By bringing out yourself to owners the first weekend break their FSBO is usually announced, prior to masses get started calling on Thursday, you generate a good link. By giving them equipment, educational supplies, free accounts, and forms, you become a good ally. If you take a personal interest in them and also their situation, you create a solid link that, most of the time, pays off as soon as the owners opt with a broker they know in addition to trust — preferably you.

It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an really long latency time period, which means that warning signs of the disease may well not emerge right until 30 to 50 years after the preliminary exposure to asbestos fiber.

    One thing I’d prefer to comment on is that fat reduction plan fast can be achieved by the suitable diet and exercise. A person’s size not only affects the look, but also the general quality of life. Self-esteem, depressive disorder, health risks, in addition to physical capabilities are impacted in putting on weight. It is possible to make everything right and still gain. If this happens, a condition may be the reason. While excessive food but not enough exercising are usually responsible, common health concerns and popular prescriptions could greatly amplify size. Many thanks for your post in this article.

    I believe that avoiding prepared foods will be the first step to help lose weight. They might taste excellent, but prepared foods have got very little vitamins and minerals, making you take in more simply to have enough electricity to get through the day. Should you be constantly feeding on these foods, transitioning to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more vigor while feeding on less. Good blog post.

    I’ve learned some new things through the blog post. Yet another thing to I have recognized is that normally, FSBO sellers will certainly reject you. Remember, they’d prefer never to use your services. But if an individual maintain a gradual, professional relationship, offering assistance and keeping contact for around four to five weeks, you will usually be capable to win a business interview. From there, a house listing follows. Thanks a lot

One other thing I’d prefer to say is always that newer computer operating systems tend to allow more memory to use, but they likewise demand more ram simply to run. If a person’s computer is unable to handle much more memory plus the newest application requires that ram increase, it might be the time to buy a new Laptop or computer. Thanks

    These days of austerity along with relative panic about incurring debt, some people balk against the idea of making use of a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise as well as pay for a holiday, preferring, instead to rely on the actual tried and trusted means of making payment – cash. However, if you have the cash on hand to make the purchase entirely, then, paradoxically, this is the best time for them to use the credit cards for several reasons.

    I discovered more a new challenge on this weight-loss issue. One particular issue is that good nutrition is very vital while dieting. A big reduction in junk food, sugary foodstuff, fried foods, sugary foods, pork, and white flour products could possibly be necessary. Keeping wastes organisms, and harmful toxins may prevent ambitions for losing fat. While specified drugs temporarily solve the issue, the unpleasant side effects are usually not worth it, plus they never offer you more than a momentary solution. This can be a known proven fact that 95 of fad diet plans fail. Thanks for sharing your thinking on this web site.

One other thing is that if you are disposing your property on your own, one of the challenges you need to be mindful of upfront is just how to deal with household inspection reports. As a FSBO seller, the key to successfully transferring your property and saving money in real estate agent commissions is understanding. The more you are aware of, the softer your home sales effort are going to be. One area exactly where this is particularly vital is home inspections.

    Thanks for your text. I would also love to say a health insurance brokerage service also works well with the benefit of the particular coordinators of your group insurance cover. The health agent is given a summary of benefits searched for by somebody or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker does is seek out individuals or even coordinators which in turn best go with those wants. Then he presents his tips and if each party agree, the broker formulates a binding agreement between the two parties.

Self-employed or those that have medical conditions typically seek the help of a health insurance dealer. Thanks for your post.

This particular piece truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular topic goes. Nevertheless at this time there is one particular issue I am not necessarily too comfortable with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual main theme of the issue, let me observe just what all the rest of the readers have to say.Very well done.

    Thanks a lot for the helpful write-up. It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an very long latency time period, which means that symptoms of the disease would possibly not emerge until 30 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos. Pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common kind and influences the area across the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, breasts pains, as well as a persistent cough, which may cause coughing up blood vessels.

    Thanks for your article. I also think laptop computers are becoming more and more popular nowadays, and now are often the only type of computer employed in a household. The reason is that at the same time that they are becoming more and more affordable, their processing power keeps growing to the point where they’re as potent as pc’s from just a few in years past.
