Yes, I agree. Great post. 🙂

I enjoy alone time too. I always have. 🙂

I wrote whole book after a break up about 5 hears ago. It didn't work out cause she was too clingy and infringed on my sacred alone time. When it was all said and done, finally getting alone time was such a massive boost to my being it inspired a book of angles that had never been mentioned elsewhere nor had anyone interconnected these things.

For some people like me, alone time is basically divine

You’re absolutely right. People have become so connected and so worried about being judged nowadays that they’re willing to conform to just about anything to avoid being ostracized. Solitude, Introspection and retrospection go a long ways as methods for people to develop their own individuality. I don’t think it’s only healthy, but also necessary.

I once worked as security on a ship, so I’d be out on the weather deck for hours on end by myself. I spent most of that time just thinking, reflecting, and trying to answer certain questions. I learned so much about myself and others during that time. Never forget to devote some alone time for yourselves, guys.

Agreed. Let’s put it to Vote. Aye!

This is the opposite of the hive mind and shall be purged. You shall habe no individualistic thoughts, only group think and group association. If you are liberal or conservative....you can only be those groups. Do not disassociate yourself. Do not stray from the heard. Your thoughts are our thoughts and they are necessary for our^tm evolution.

/s

It is by far your best strength to separate yourself from any ism's.....any groups and any ideas that have you relinquish your personal control over your wants and desires.

Being your own morally sound individual is what will make up a whole that is safe from mass control...mass manipulation and misinformation, disinformation and the like.

You must be able to say you are not red or blue....pepsi or cola.....republican or democrat. They are all or are now a fiction created to control you.

OP, good post. More people need to be reminded not to participate in the system as it is laid out for us. Non-participation is important right now.and more thn ever.

Don't forget to add some bran to your diet, and get plenty of sleep also! I recommend jumping jacks at 7am every morning!

Good post. I can post my "conspiracy of loneliness" post if anyone is interested.

I'd like to read it!

Please do.

I really enjoy being alone. I sometimes go days without ever uttering a single word to anyone, because I don't encounter anyone. And when I do have communication with people, it's often meaningful.

Once you escape the noise of society, life gets very simple.

“You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.”

The man had a way with words that few today still do.

There is a reason alone time is very discouraged.

Alone time isn't discouraged.

Unfortunately it is. Alone time is quickly being rebranded as anti-social behaviour

Nonsense.

Take a media break and read original sources only. Find your real thoughts, opinions, and voice that's not triggered by the machine

​

Also, on a less political note, being constantly accessible, or being expected to be, is awful for your mental health. We need to be able to switch off to recuperate or we burn out.

For thousands of years, our homes/caves have been places we can go to just wind down and stop being on high alert all the time; we’re screwing with our own evolved needs to break down those walls through inviting constant connection into our homes

Loneliness breeds creativity. Get on it

I agree, and just the opposite, people should take the time to be social.

I think it's important to take breaks from the internet and our phones. We need to make a schedule that we can live by. Like no internet on Thursday evenings and Tuesday evenings maybe then after a while we can not use the internet for entire days. I'd like to start a support group kind of thing where we also communicate through the mail via letters

If you're feeling frisky I highly recommend doing a 10 day silent meditation Vipassana class:

I believe that we should also take time to reconnect with nature. So many of us are only outdoors long enough to get from the house to the car and from the car to the office. I love to just sit outside after dinner in the summer, listen to the birds, watch the butterflies and bees, enjoy my flowers. Its very grounding. And of course, I'm thinking my own thoughts, too.

You can see social addiction in some people, interesting how being by themselves can be so difficult to certain people. I guess it is the extreme manifestation of the difficulty some people find in meditating.

False. I spend 90% of my life alone and have no healthy or strong personality.

It's enormously important.
The more you do it, the more you'll realize how important it is.
If you don't think you can sit quietly alone at home without being tempted to turn on a computer, choose different conditions for your alone time, such as a walk in nature, or laying under the stars, or even just listening to recordings of soothing instrumental music or rainforest sounds.
