Embrace your solitude as a bliss

If you are the chap who is super introvert and loves to be a solitary wanderer, feel fortunate. Being all by yourself and scouting places alone has it’s own charm. No matter how much people may coax you to engage in groups, to initiate a conversation or to move in company; always remember that your penchant for solitude is actually a bliss.

Well folks, the article is being written by an utterly introvert person who just loves hobnobbing with words.

Been told, ordered and demanded by many people to turn gregarious and start enjoying the company of others yet could never understand why being an introvert is deemed as something that ought to be dispelled. What is so instrumental in being an extrovert that people, like me, who love their solitude, force themselves to change their knack for introversion? Why are people always exhorting a shy person, who loves being in her/his own cocoon, to be more open and active?

Here are some (self analysed) pointers from a person who has stopped struggling with being an introvert and has indeed embraced it! Friends, there are so many glitters to be being one’s own that you would not be able to enjoy in being an extrovert. Scroll down the list:

You are more carefree than you think!

When you are all by yourself, the blithe attitude sets in. Sans any known presence, you are less conscious, less anxious and less intimidated. You get the time to pamper and flatter yourself and hence get mesmerized in your own company! So many laurels of being a solitary chap!

 

Being formal not the norm

When on a road to solitary tread, you are not ensnared in the clutches of formalities, respect or censorship. Giving and acknowledging esteem, keeping the veneration of others in mind and scrutinizing your speech before speaking; all these become non- incumbent. All the formalities of the situation ebb since, in solitude, your concentration in totally on yourself.

 

Do what your heart says

Keeping a balance between the unquenchable heart and prudent mind is tough, especially when you are bound with rules, laws or norms. Hence when you are in your own cocoon, without any company, you do not feel fenced within the garb of orders and conventions. Hence your solitude gives you all the liberty to go wild, crazy or wayward, which somewhat stifles when you are within a group or a formal company.

 

No presence No pressure

One minds the way one walks and talks when one is within someone’s presence. There is certain refined way to handle yourself when in a group, which is certainly not incumbent when you are all by yourself. Your solitude renders you an uncanny freedom to do things sans any pressure. You can choose to do things that are frivolous, flippant or feckless!

Folks,  there is so much that your solitude – inclination can offer. Enjoying your solitude, with all its charms and laurels, will make you happy and content, rather than making you feel languid when you intentionally force yourself to be socially active.
