Being alone is not the same than being lonely

Being along is being with yourself. It means quality time that you spend thinking, pondering your options, discovering yourself. Being social, chatty and extrovert is a fabulous thing. It is really great. But being withdrawn, quiet and introvert is equally great. As long as you feel comfortable with yourself you do not have to be other thing than what you want to be. I am really surprised how many people do not feel good with themselves and feel like weirdos just because they are not very good at making conversation and are not great in social environments.I actually feel angry when I hear them saying they wish they were different.

Based on my personal experience I have to say that I often find introverts much more interesting once you get to know them. We are forced to believe that being the soul of the party and having loads of friends is what everyone wants. But it is not. Many people are happy on their own and feel comfortable with a closed circle of people. And that is great. I firmly believe that we all should start seeing that as a good thing. People who are like that and people who interact with people who are like that.
