When we have been left aside, outcast, not accepted by those whom we wish to be accepted.

We experience loneliness. This feeling of not being welcomed, eyes looking down on us as we are unimportant, secluded by others, and constantly made to believe that we cannot mix up with others creates sadness and hate In our minds and heart.

Loneliness can often result in depression, anxiety, and whatnot. It leaves people in a self-questioning state where they are confused and lives in doubt. A lonely person can go up to extreme measures just to get noticed be it in the form of love or hate.

Is loneliness a taboo?

No

Welcome to the productive side of humanity. It is high time now to change your loneliness into solitude. Experience your likes and dislikes more than you have ever done. Think of it positively, and think selfishly of yourself, your interests, and your satisfaction before recognition and acceptance from society.

If cutting away people meant self-growth and helped in self-recognition then why not give it a try?

Studies suggest one must give at least an hour solely to himself once in a while to reflect on your actions and conduct, and make the right decisions to grow.

Why sulk in loneliness when you can discover your true self in solitude?

In society to please others, why not step aside and attain inner peace for yourself?

Get lost in wonderful thoughts, discover wonderful new places, try new cultures and cuisines and give yourself some time. You are not unimportant to others, the others don’t notice your worth yet.

Begin enjoying your own company, put your opinion above the others, and even while making your life decisions think in solitude because in the end the others won’t stay forever but you will have to abide by that one decision.

For mental health and the sake of our future, solitude is essential. It helps us get out of the society which lives over a compromise for others making us the side actors in other’s stories.

But we need to now take this positively, and turn all our lonely moments to solitude and turn the sadness into productivity, for our own sake we must overcome this taboo of always overthinking about getting recognition and compromising for it . We must become the “Heroes of our own Life story”

Solitude is a blessing while loneliness is a curse.

Only you could decide if you wish to be blessed or cursed.
