This Is Why You Feel Bored When You’re Alone
You feel bored when you’re alone because you haven’t given yourself much time to be your own self. You depend on others for entertainment rather than finding it within you. Some people tend to really enjoy their own company while others can’t stand the idea of being alone for some time during the day, because they get incredibly bored.
Let me tell you the difference between the two.
The thing is people who enjoy their own company have such a vivid mind and wide imagination. They might seem pretty quiet sitting all alone, but actually, their minds are vividly interesting. Their heads are full of dreams, ideas, things they want to do, activities they want to start, new things they want to try, places they want to go to, stuff they want to create, and dreams and goals they want to achieve.
So when they are all alone, they get time to dive deep within these exciting thoughts of their own and go wild with their imagination. They have the time to think of all the creations and the amazing work they can do. They imagine how things are going to go for them, and they keep on designing their future. When your mind is exciting, it’s really hard for you to get bored when you’re sitting all alone.
On the other hand, others, when they spend some time alone, they keep thinking about who to call or meet to fill the empty time they have. They don’t take the time to dive within their own thoughts or the stuff they want to do as much as they want to always fill the time they have with the company of others, thus when they are alone anytime, they feel extremely bored because they don’t dig deep within them to discover themselves as much, but rather they depend on others to entertain them and help them enjoy their time.
I am not saying that we shouldn’t want each other’s company, though.
Of course, we’re social beings, and we need people in our lives, and we need to spend time with each other and enjoy it. However, what I am saying is that we don’t always need to seek others company whenever we’re alone, but we need to let ourselves be alone sometimes and not freak out by the fact that we don’t have anyone at the moment to spend time with and feel just instantly alone; rather, we should know how to spend time alone and fill this time with great things on our own without relying on others all the time to do this for us.
Solitude can be pretty exciting most of the time.
Solitude shouldn’t be scary or dull, but sometimes it could be an exciting thing that makes us discover ourselves and help us create amazing things during it. Solitude shouldn’t worry us but rather inspire us. We need to train our minds to think creatively, imagine vigorously, and dream big, and to always find inspiration in the tiniest things to ignite our creativity and let us have this eagerness to use the time we spend being bored into an interesting time that let us enjoy it beyond our expectations.
