Blog: Loneliness

Healthy isolation aids in productivity and focus. Distraction is at bay and results are quicker. Conflicts don’t enter our lives and this aspect reduces a lot of unwanted stress. Our goals get a boost and an unwavered attitude makes it all happen. There is an increase in creativity. One is self sufficient and a sense of self-discovery sets in. An independent streak plays a very big role here. Time spent alone with oneself helps to introspect a little deeper within.
A peaceful milieu streamlines things that matter. Groups may trigger drama and arguments so this seclusion assists in avoiding it all. There is a lot of freedom to do whatever one chooses to do. There is no one to mess with our plans and routine. This despondency can be addictive. One falls in a pattern unknowingly and automatically. It has all the ingredients to wreck our lives when negativity creeps in and takes charge. Living on one’s own terms can instill arrogance and lack of empathy.
It can take a toll on our mental health. Physically too it can leave an irreparable impact if self-harm takes its course. Depression is on a roll. Harrowing thoughts circle the mind. Anxiety attacks are common. Sadness replaces happiness. One becomes irritable. Socialising takes a hit. Violence and anger surround individuals. Some people lose appetite, some have an abnormal style of eating when loneliness breathes heavily on them.
Excessive screen time kills sleep. Irregular eating habits jeopardize health. One becomes lethargic, weak and has no interest in doing anything. Relationships suffer. Friends distance themselves from such melancholic individuals. Connection with others fades. There is a lot of discontent. Jealousy trebles if people are more successful. Comparisons arise and one feels inadequate and unfit for any fruitful task and activities.
Rejection and dejection play hide and seek. It can be painful as well as rewarding it all depends on the attitude. Remoteness can instill richness psychologically. It gives us time to work on our aspirations and can also mar the beauty of future prospects if the devil in us takes the reins of lives in his hands. It is better to be lonely than being with the wrong person or situation. One can save oneself from unwanted damage.
