There is a saying that goes something along the lines of ‘You must love yourself first before you can love someone else.' Similarly, I personally believe that you must be comfortable and happy in your own company before you can truly be yourself in the company of others. There is a massive difference between being lonely and being alone. Loneliness is a horrible feeling. However, you don't have to actually be alone to feel that way. Many times, I've felt lonely when surrounded by a big group of people. In contrast, being alone can actually be a blessing, particularly, when you've actively chosen it. In my experience, being bored and alone is dangerous and can easily lead to the feeling of loneliness. The trick is to be active. Get outside, stretch your legs, do something cultural, buy yourself something tasty to eat or something pretty to wear. You don't have to take anyone else into consideration and can do whatever you please. Spending time alone also allows you to more efficiently take care of problems. And then, when it's time to be social and meet up with your friends, you will be fully there, because you won't have too much other stuff floating around in your mind. Having been alone for a bit, you will also appreciate your friends' company more and chances are your time spent together will be more worthwhile.
有一句諺語大概是這樣說的：“首先是愛自己，其次才是愛別人?！蓖瑯?，我個人認為，只有習慣并享受自我陪伴，我們才能在有他人陪伴時依然能做自己。孤獨和獨處是有很大區(qū)別的。孤獨是一種可怕的感覺。然而，我們不一定要獨處才能體會這種感覺。很多時候，即便是被一大群人圍著，我也依然會覺得孤獨。相反，獨處可以是一大幸事，尤其是你主動選擇獨處的時候。就我個人的經(jīng)驗來看，無聊和獨處是很危險的，因為很容易引起孤獨感。避免孤獨的訣竅是積極主動起來。出去走走，舒展舒展你的雙腿，做一些文藝的事情，給自己買點好吃的或漂亮的衣服。不用考慮任何人的感受，盡情玩樂就是了?；〞r間獨處還能幫助我們更為高效地處理問題。只有這樣，你在社交或是跟朋友見面的時候才能更加專注于當下，因為你的腦海里不用再惦記各種其他的事情。獨處一段時間后，你對朋友的陪伴的感激之情也會更濃，而且，很有可能的是，你們在一起的時間也會變得更有價值。
