Humans are social animals- our lives as humans revolve around how we interact and deal with people in our society. And this basically means that we are somewhat dependent on other people for our functioning. These people come together in times when we’re happy and also when we are in grief, they provide support and help in thick and thin of life alike.
These activities have always made us think that having friends or family together is the norm and staying alone can be regarded as something out of the ordinary. But is it really so? Not really. One can truly lead a life living alone and still being very happy. They can very well be self-dependent for everything and still feel content.
When you think about such a life, it surely feels odd- if you’re used to the ‘normal’ life that people follow. However, in case you are wondering if you wanted to lead such a life, you very well can, by following a few guidelines to prepare your mind.
Alone vs lonely
While you may think that both the words alone and lonely can be used synonymously, they, in fact, have two varied meanings. A person is alone when he is by himself. On the other hand, a person is lonely when he feels abandoned or sad due to isolation. Get it? A lonely person is someone who feels that he is left out or isolated from society. But if you take being lonely positively- you learn to be happy alone.
Love yourself
Here what is crucial is that you should make your mind understand that in this world, there are only a few people who can truly love you for the way you are, without pretending, without showing off. However, no one from these few people can love you more than yourself.
Removing expectations from the equation
Being lonely only hurts when you expect someone to do things a certain way- and when those certain things don’t happen, they lead to disappointment, regret, resentment, among other emotions. But if you remove expectations out of the equation, you’ll feel self-sustained, without feeling negative.
Learning to live alone with positivity
Leading a life alone isn’t an easy task, but what makes the whole experience easier is when you have things that make you feel happy, and happiness equals positivity. Whether it is finding a passion like music, dancing, or hobbies like arts and crafts, or something simple as going for walks or long drives. You can enjoy such experiences alone, feel happy and have an optimistic outlook.

Farewell season is around us, and as social media will flood with photos of students and proud parents, the time has come for teens to tackle the question “What’s next?” (Because you already know you would be asked that many times over the next few months.) Many will find difficult to answer. You may have a good diploma in hand, but the working world is totally different. And while many students think they have the skills needed to succeed in the “real world,” less than a third of employers agree with them. The fact is, there are some professional skills which a classroom doesn’t teach you.
Below are some skills valued in the workplace, across a range of roles and industries:
These skills can help anyone get ahead in practically any field, from running a company to running a startup. Obviously, there are certain skills specific to each field as well – but with the skills that translate across disciplines, are the ones that can be learned by anyone in any position
