I may be a little biased since I am an introvert, but introvert or not, don't ever be afraid to be by yourself. In fact, I encourage taking time to be alone and to just spend time with yourself. Whenever I tell anyone that I went to a coffee shop alone or to the movies alone, they always tell me how they feel bad that I was alone. I've never understood that. What is it that makes it so bad to be alone? It is looked at as such a negative thing, when it is really not even a problem. It is okay to be alone, and no matter what people say or think, I think it is actually important to take time to spend on your own.
As much as it is great to spend time with other people and to be around others, I think that when we are just alone with ourselves is when we get the chance to learn the most about ourselves. We are able to learn truly what you like and dislike, what you want and don't want. You are simply just able to learn about you without the influence of others.
Being alone also rids you of the influence of others. You can rest in the knowledge that what you're doing or what you are truly finding out about yourself is because of you and only you. You are able to make up your own mind and take comfort in the fact that your decisions are you own, void of the decisions and influences of those you surround yourself with. You can get lost in your thoughts without others blaming you of "spacing out." You are allowed to be alone with your own thoughts with no one around to judge or distract you.
Always take time to recharge yourself. Embrace the power being alone gives to you, R.H Sin wrote, "Alone, by herself she built the kingdom she wanted." So please, know that it is more than okay to be by yourself if you find yourself without the company of others, and that is more than okay to choose to be alone. And fall madly in love with yourself, because you may not always be able to have others, but you will surely always have you.
