Alone and It's Fine...

The ability to get easily acquainted with being alone, is an attribute that dominates the introvert's major characteristics. To be around with people even in a short period can easily drain their energies. To cope up with it, they needed some time to be alone by themselves to recharge.  It’s something that is uniquely coherent to someone like me but that may seem unusual to the common norms that are generally accepted. Introverts are not strangers to silence, it’s when they are in isolation that they learn to discover more about themselves.

So the big question now is, does being alone a bad thing or a good thing? I always try my best to see the glass as half full, to keep things from a positive perspective. One important regard to this question is, how well do you know yourself. Knowing yourself first puts you in a manner of understanding your own strength and weaknesses and how you can use it to your advantage.

People who like to be alone actually possess these 12 good qualities according to Brainy Dose. I prepared a summary of those positive traits here for quick and easy reading. 

1. Value time. Respect for time sees it as the most valuable asset. You never waste other's time and don’t allow others to waste your own time either.
2. Self Aware. You know yourself better thus it allows you to understand others too.
3. Level-headed.  You develop focus and will power. This allows yourself to recharge and think of solutions to your problems and how to cope with difficult situations.
4. Open-minded. You are always open to new ideas and activities. You enjoy adventures and exploring new places but it's important that you’ll be allowed to be alone by yourself before meeting a number of people
5. Clear Boundaries. It's about knowing yourself and understanding who you are. You know your values and you respect your own limitations.
6. Weakness and Strengths. You're aware of your own capabilities and give yourself room for improvements. You show others a certain kind of self-confidence that is unique to you.
7. Very Empathetic. Since you have the gift to understand yourself, it's not difficult for you to understand others as well. It easy for you to find something positive out of any negative circumstances in your own life and others too.
8. Guided by Intuition. You trust your own instincts. You don't get easily discouraged because you know that your instincts never fail just like you had before.
9. Never Co-dependent. You're not a heavy load for others nor you feel worthless being alone. You always show your full capabilities at doing things your own.
10. Kindness and Compassion. You offer your compassion and kindness to others and for people close to your heart. You demonstrate the necessary piece of your existence and that is by sharing your love and how passionate you are about the things you enjoy the most.
11. Extremely Courageous. Because of that unique confidence, you radiate a courageous character in you. You are not afraid to face the challenges ahead of you and for that, you are becoming the role model for others.
12. Self-loving. You know how to love yourself even when things aren't as perfect as they should be. You always work hard to develop and improve yourself

Surely, not all of these good traits are found in a person, but these positive traits that the 'loners' have will surely question your thoughts about the negative misconceptions about them.
