I Love Being Alone

??

why is it my therapist feels that being a lone is a bad thing? She sometimes feels like I isolate myself too much and the depression doesn't help either. I tell its not because I'm depressed its because I need alone time to regenerate. I do see the benefits of being around people its a good distraction. Guess its something I'll have to ask. What do you think?

    I spend most of my time alone. I enjoy it. I believe the more you do it the harder it is to change. I practice mindfulness and try to do a balance of different things.

    Hi justme,



    I too love being alone and was confused about the difference between isolating and spending time alone. I think it is a matter of being happy or not. Are you happy to be home and spending time with your own company? Or are you hiding from the world cause of low self-esteem and depression? Good luck finding a balance for yourself. It's a challenge we all face.
