There are many types of people in this world.
Some are outgoing; some are warm, cordial and gregarious.
They enjoy living lie to the fullest.
They crave the company of others and surround themselves with interesting people.
They are boisterous, lively and incredibly extroverted.
But then there is another type as well.
These people desire solitude and consider solitary existence immensely covetable.
Their idea of a good time is escape in virtual, snuggling up in front of the fire and staying at home during a wild party.
These are both people and there is nothing wrong with either of these categories.
Why Some People Don’t like Companionship
There are many people who say with pride that they don’t require or want any companion.
They don’t want any company to see them through the various aspects and happenings in their lives.
They don’t want to be accepted by others and don’t want to meet them.
They love being alone and there are numerous reasons for this predilection.
They can be elaborated as follows:
- Boundaries
You usually evince strong boundaries when you are a loner and crave solitude.
This doesn’t in any way mean that you aren’t aware of yourself or don’t have a full understanding of your needs.
No, that isn’t the case.
You are fully aware of what you want and understand yourself consummately.
This allows you to set cogent and affirmable values and ideals.
You enjoy your own company and these boundaries allow you to enjoy your own self.
That is why those don’t seek companionship usually do so as most people are incapable of respecting the boundaries that they have set.
This breaching causes annoyance and repudiation by them towards anyone who does so.
Tin their opinion those that are incapable of being aware of their boundaries aren’t deserving of their company.
- Loyalty
Another major factor that causes most people to disavow and reject companionship is the loyalty factor.
These people are most loyal to their own selves and consider them to be their own friends.
They don’t find many people who consider them to be interesting.
The loyalty that they show is considered inadequate by them.
That is why such introverts don’t quite like giving any disloyal, or insufficiently loyal, person to penetrate the veil of companionship.
This can also be attributed to the fact that certain harrowing experiences of the past have compelled them to be mistrustful of others.
- Social Skills
There are some people who crave loneliness and solitude.
That is because they are bereft of the requisite skills for mingling and interacting with others.
Put them in the company of others and they will be profoundly confused.
They won’t know how to mingle in meaningful conversation, they won’t know how to act around others and they won’t know where to adopt deception and tact, etc.
They face immense difficulties due to being bereft of proper social skills.
That is why such people prefer to be alone rather than seek out the company of others.
- Social Interest:
Man is a social animal and can’t survive without the companionship or interaction with others.
Such a company is essential to survival after all.
But then there are some people who don’t receive such indoctrination or love for the company of others in their nascent and developing years.
This leads to them becoming cold and insulated in regard to social demands and interaction.
This lack of social interest leads them to a penchant for solitude and remaining alone.
That is why these people don’t seek out companionship in the least.
- Introversion:
Introversion is the mental condition in which people like being alone and don’t like being in the company of others.
It makes them morose and a bit depressed.
These introverts would rather stay at home, watch a good movie, read an engrossing book and generally enjoy their own company.
Put them in the midst of a crowd and you have got a recipe for disaster on your hands.
They will stutter, they will be visibly unhappy and they will not function at their best.
That is why under such cases introverts prefer to stay in during the wilder instances of their social life.
And you most certainly can’t blame them because that is the way in which they are built.
Listen to Music
This is a pretty great way to enjoy yourself if you are one of those people who like to be alone.
Music has a soothing and relaxing effect on the mind it uplifts the soul, repairs the depressive state of the mind and is simply sublime.
There are various genres of music available on all popular outlets and pertinent platforms.
All you have to do is peruse and find the music that you like and create a playlist that appeals to your tastes.
After that, you can just sit back, listen to your favorite tracks, and revel in your enjoyable solitude.
Watch Videos Online
There is a profoundly therapeutic way to released tension and spend the time.
This is especially effective if you are alone and prefer a solitary existence.
You must have some specific tastes when it comes to videos and movies.
You might like games you might like standup comedy, you might like pets or you might even like music videos.
The point is, whatever your inclination may be, there will most certainly be a video available for it online.
All you need to do is go online, seek it out on YouTube or any other website and view it.
It will allow you to pass the time and also enjoy yourself as well.
Play a Video game
I personally love playing videogames and have felt that time flies when I am at home playing a good game.
RPGs, action-adventure, horror, mystery, etc.
whatever the genre may be, you can bet that you will be entertained.
The games that you play without the assistance of online players are amazingly effective at spending the time.
You will relish the time that you spend playing a great game and your desire to be left alone will also be fulfilled simultaneously.
I personally suggest you take up RPG games like The Witcher 3 to get a handle on the therapeutic effect of games for a lonely individual that we were talking about in this section.
