Being alone can be a challenge for many of us. When we’re with others, we have a nearly constant source of stimulation which helps us not be so caught up in our thoughts.
This is why when we’re alone and stuck in our own heads, our most common response is to bury these thoughts under some sort of stimulation like watching shows or playing games. However, once these activities are over, the thoughts come back.
Instead of avoiding our thoughts and emotions, we should learn to manage them. For example, if there’s something bothering you, instead of trying to distract yourself, find the root of the problem as well as solutions. You can also create goals for yourself to have some structure throughout your day.
