Even with wonderful friends, family and a partner, I don’t always want to be surrounded by people. “Table for one? Or will someone else be joining you?” A dinner reservation for one person never fails to raise a few eyebrows. I actively choose to spend time alone when possible. But not everyone has the luxury of choosing to be alone, of course, many are forced into one-on-one time because they have no one.

But for those of us who spend our days surrounded by colleagues in the workplace, our evenings and weekends with family, friends and partners, all the while being constantly bombarded by WhatsApp, social media and email, time to ourselves can be a rare treat. Time to yourself not only gives you the chance to do practical things you don’t normally get round to but also the activities your pals don’t want to do. In a less real way, spending time alone also allows or perhaps forces you to sit with your own thoughts, to think about things that might normally  be drowned out by conversation and the noise of companionship. When you’re alone you get time to think without purpose.

It is worth noting that I’m a real introvert(内向者), so perhaps sitting alone with my

thoughts refilling my energy reserves might just be indulging personality traits that others don’t have. But I believe more people could benefit from it.
