Can any one explain how to simply be happy alone?

[Anonymous]

I decided to instead of making plans with friends stay inside and sit to try to force myself to be happy alone.

Getting messages and what not from friends while they're out or seeing Instagram stories from friends with their partners while I'm sitting in on GaG is making me really upset.

When does it get better?

Try sitting outside if you can. Sit in silence, no phone, nothing, and just listen to the birds, trees, and your surroundings. Be thankful for the moment. Yoga also helps. ☺️🍃

The issue is that usually most places like that are public and there other people around

[Vevv123]

Can you go outside for like a hike or something, or like a park or some place with nature. If not, then I can definitely encourage trying yoga inside. Meditation will help you a lot. ☺️

That sounds good. How many days do you usually go without interacting with people?

You have to like yourself first, then get like 3 hobbies

Enjoy the silence and peace. Sometimes being alone is peaceful and relaxing.

How many days in a row do you typically go before you get uncomfortable not interacting with others?

[DreamCrescent]

oh i could go for months.
Are you in need of constant stimulation?

I guess why is solitary confinement considered inhumane?

Good luck with that. You might as well dig your own grave and get it over with.
