Embracing Solitude

Solitude can have varied effects on individuals, often helping to balance high arousal moods. Engaging in solitude doesn't always mean complete stillness; activities like reading or even scrolling through social media can count. Interestingly, many people find the experience so uncomfortable that they would prefer self-administering an electric shock over sitting alone in silence. This discomfort is a natural part of the process, and with practice, one may gradually learn to appreciate their own company.
