Solitude!
Solitude is a state of seclusion or isolation, i.e., lack of contact with people. ... Short-term solitudeis often valued as a time when one may work, think or rest without being disturbed. It may be desired for the sake of privacy.
Solitude, a gift for anyone you love. Sometimes I just feel like my love ones will just leave me alone for some moment to clear my mind. Do you think we deserve time alone? Personally I love to think about what am doing and what I intend to do while in solitude. It's easier to think things through when I am alone. I enjoyed being alone in the toilet in my house! I plan and strategies while in the toilet. I have made so many great life decisions in this "think bank".
now my question is : is it normal? Who share my sentiment?

Solitude is important. One should be able to be self-contained and within oneself. It can make you very creative without the distractions of others.
Thanks for your original post idea.

You are absolutely right! one can think better in solitude. but it could be very hard to get "it"
I thrive on solitude. I must have hours of it every day. I wouldn't call myself an introvert, I just like my own company better than other people's. I think that my alone time actually makes me better at interacting with other people. I know I look forward to spending time with my husband after I've had some alone time. I do think it's normal for some people. Others can't handle it. All depends on the individual.
Good to here i am not alone. no amount of time alone can be compare to the company of loved ones but still we all do need our gift of solitude.
I LOVE my solitude!
After 30+ years in sales and having to be “on” in front of clients conducting meetings, training sessions etc. and some weeks putting in 80 hours covering a 10 state region...I’m over it!
I live with my cats and dog and work part time 3 days a week. The other 4 days (if I feel well) I work at the things I love...WA, painting, crochet, gardening (now that winter is over).
It’s your life, shape it the way you want it!

One thing I do if I am to get my quiet quality time alone, is to take a long 1 hour to 2-hour drive out of Joburg on weekends, and I get to think and strategize more when am on the road. When I get to my destination I quickly write down all the ideas, strategies in my journal so I never forget anything.
Wow ! that sound like like something i would love to try too. But wouldn't you lost concentration - driving and thinking?
Love your moment of privacy. I think the majority of us like our privacy in the restroom just sitting and doing nothing.
For more privacy I usually sit on the toilet fully dressed with the shower running. Thanks for your post..)
Your think bank hey🤣🤣
Yes I do enjoy spending time alone when I’m working so that I can focus more.
Sometimes when I’m not doing work that needs a lot of attention I occasionally enjoy the company of my folks...
Personality wise I’m a loner and I enjoy it... most of the time
"Personality wise I’m a loner and I enjoy it" and not necessarily in the toilet like me ( winks). what i have got to know is that most times our loved ones wish we could just let them enjoy their moment alone rather than invading them especially in troubled time. solitude a gift you deserve from loved ones.
Hi Jimoh.
"I enjoyed being alone in the toilet in my house!" 😜😜😜
Erm, I don't know about "enjoy", but I'm happy to use the expression, "relieved". Unlike the ancient Romans and the medieval English court, I don't believe that the toilet is a suitable venue for conducting social affairs.
Solitude... Hmm. Many years ago I read a book which glorified the notion of a Master of Solitude, and became enthralled by the glamour of it. But truth be told, being lonely is no fun at all.
Yes, every now and then I think I need space, but still I find myself hoping that someone will take the time and trouble to enquire about what afflicts me and comforts me.
At other times, when meditating or trying to think through a problem, peace and quiet are invaluable. On the other hand many-a-times, I find a solution to a problem in the middle of discussing it with someone.
It's complicated like that.
Regards,
Yes Tayo I do enjoy it 😜 but connotatively. I find easy to think better "there" ( i dont want to irritate you in case you are eating, LOL)
Not sure about the toilet but I need lots of space to simply exist and my loved ones are happy to let me have that.
