One thing I have learned is everyone has their own character traits in life. Some people are introverts and some extroverts and each and every one has ways which works out for them. Some individuals would rather be on their own all the time and some actually are not good in social settings which is okay.
Some on the other end crave to be social and are affected mentally when they are not around people. A huge example was the time of quarantine during the COVID days in which people were stuck inside and actually had to deal with their own thoughts and face situations on their own. This was a wake up call for a lot of people because they weren't used to dealing with things on their own.
A lot of people went through depression and other mental health things due to this and weren't able to fully navigate it. The time apart also had bad effects on friendships and relationships. Some couples were forced to be around each other every day and weren't given the space they needed from their spouse or significant others. Now one thing that is important through all this is finding balance.
It is important for all of us to have our time of solitude and space and also make time to be around people. Even if it's not in a social setting or a large crowd, too much isolation is not good for anyone. As human beings we all need some form of interaction whether in person or online. I know everyone is not comfortable in social settings or talking to people but I think it is important for everyone to find a balance when it comes to it.
Too much isolation is not good because us human beings are social creatures and need connection. Not being able to find ways to communicate with people can stop us from meeting the right people for us and also can be a barrier when building confidence. Everyone enjoys their alone time which is okay but we also have to embrace the time spent with others because it can help us realize a part of us that we may have hidden.
Even if it is more comfortable to communicate online like discord, every human being should have a way to open themselves up. Building connections and communicating with others can benefit us in the long run because we can't do everything alone in life and all need some form of help. Having people we can turn to for help with things or during tough times is needed for all of us.
A lot of people feel alone in the most important times and that affects their mental, physically and emotional health. A lot of people take their own lives because they feel alone and that nobody cares but at times it is because they weren't willing to go against their comfort zone and open themselves up to people. No one will know how we are feeling if we don't tell them.
