Enjoying Own Company Quotes To Appreciate Being Alone

You might be a loner, an outcast, and an avoidant person for some because you enjoy being alone and you’re here to sigh in satisfaction and say, ”yep, that’s totally me,” while reading some ”enjoying own company quotes”.

As an introvert, one might think this is a little bit biased writing and sharing such quotes but believe me, you don’t have to be an introvert or a loner to enjoy your own company.

Everyone needs some ”me” time. Everyone needs time for his own – undistracted and unbothered.

It’s not being selfish, snob or anxious in being around the society.

We just need it and everyone should realize how good that is.

I know some people can’t imagine enjoying their own company.

Heck, I’m a people person, I’m always surrounded by people and I like their company. Duh.

But if you find yourself in the same category, think of the time when you have to sleep so bad but you’re not alone and the other person needs some company and yeah, some entertainment.

I would bet my rice you would totally wish you were alone.

Yikes.

So in this post, you will fall in love with being alone through these quotes about enjoying your own company.

But first…

Learning to enjoy your own company: Why should you do that?

Aside from not being able to sleep when you want to, here are more reasons why you should love your own company and practice it whenever you can:

• Your mind needs it. From all the chaos and stress you experience every single day, your mind needs some break and you can only fully enjoy that when you’re completely alone.
• It helps you discover your creative side. What else can you do when you’re alone? Sure, you can sleep without annoying thoughts that somebody will disturb you from sleep. But you can’t just sleep every time you’re alone, right? You could do better than that.
• You are the master of your time. You are alone and you get to decide how you would spend your time. As a result, you’re freeing yourself from stress and pressure when you are with somebody or with friends who always want to be accompanied.
• You get to know yourself more. When no one’s around, you can do whatever you want. You can sing off-key. Dance without even music. Shout when you’re frustrated. So if you’re doing those things, you’re not supposed to do in the company of others, you will discover an unknown side of yourself and you will learn to embrace that discovered self-identity in no time.

”I’ve always loved the night, when everyone else is asleep and the world is all mine. It’s quiet and dark the perfect time for creativity.” -Jonathan Harnisch, Porcelain Utopia

I couldn’t agree more. You should try to wake up between 4 to 5 in the morning when everyone is still asleep. As a writer and a blogger, I find it effective in writing blog posts since I get to take advantage of my creative juices. Just splendid.

”When you feel like an outsider – for whatever reason – you spend a lot of time alone.” -Meg Cabot
