Completely agree with everything you touched on. I do think it takes time to grow out of the insecure place where we feel to need to always be present, especially during teenage years. I know I’ve completely grew out of that phase and absolutely love being alone.
I love this, in my twenties I was desparate to be in company because it was acceptable. When I got a flat at 28 years old 10 years ago I discovered me slowly, still am, l know what I love, i'm comfortable amd I discovered relaxing for real, I'd spent 28 years exhausted, finally I had a relationship with me. I loved it, I still live alone and now I can recharge and love me
I love Slumflower..shes the friend I needed many years ago now...but wouldn't mind having a friend just like her,guess she reminds me that being our own best friend is really important.Buts shes just such a positive force in the world..bring on more of Chidera
I’m naturally introspected, so it’s new to me to hear that we are not taught to be alone and it’s important to be. I feel judged by society sometimes for being antisocial, but I don’t think I’m actually am... I read about the people who revolve around their emotions and are introspective, so maybe the encouragement of being alone is not very good for who naturally is already very lonely... just wished to hear something about who have the habit of being isolated and the importance to go out and do things and meet people and all, because I think that’s important for me and it’s also hard to accomplish
I love the Slumflower but I have to disagree with "we learn the most about ourselves when we are alone". Our relationships are truly our greatest teacher. No one triggers you like your partner and triggers unearth your shit and bring it to light so you have to deal with it.
