Solitude Is An Ability | Why Being Alone Is So Powerful

Many people have a misunderstanding about being alone, thinking that it equates to feeling lonely and empty. However, loneliness and solitude are not the same thing. Loneliness is about not feeling loved by others, a passive acceptance of emotions; while solitude is an active pursuit, deliberately carving out time and space for oneself.
People often view socializing as a skill, yet overlook that solitude is also a skill, and in some ways, it is even more important than the ability to interact.
