How do you deal with solitude?

[Poh SIti Dawn]

my phone broke, my tablet got stolen, so there's no immediate distraction. I've always felt alone, lately I've been listening to a lot of Cudi. It's a blessing I know, but sometimes I don't feel connected or I feel as if I've stood still while time has progressed. Lately I've had to remind myself that my old insecurities are habits of the past and a lot of ideas I have to shed. It's as if hardly anything matters that's negative so I'm only focusing on positive and trying to solve situations that are negative in a positive aspect.

Anybody else feel some typa way

pick up your phone and call someone.

I actually prefer solitude, use this time to read a book or meditate.

This should be a time when you hone your life skills. Learn a new language, study a new subject, improve your body, meditate, pray. It's an often merciless world out there with no sympathy for the unprepared.

This. Embrace the quiet, unbothered time you have. Think for a second about the MILLIONS of people across the planet right now that don't even have the luxury of having a safe place to be in. Improve yourself. Immerse yourself into whatever interests you. Then when you decide to leave your solitude, you will have some interesting shyt to say.

Embrace it. I've done so all my life so now I love it. That's a major reason why I don't have any social media. So many ppl have a fear of missing something or trying to be included, they don't enjoy their true selves.

I changed numbers without telling anyone,havnt logged in to FB In weeks and no one has any way of contacting me I gave my number to like 3 people max,I cut off my home internet a few weeks back while I switch providers,at first I did not know what to do at home cuz I hate watching tv,I really only used the Internet to browse on my tablets or play online on my X1,then I realized how much time I spent just laying around when I used to be really active,so I took it upon myself to go to the grocery store and stock up on nothing but healthy work out meal supplies,I've cut off alcohol and drugs and now I'm running in the morning and lifting heavy at night
I wake up looking forward to making different protein smoothies or making a new hi protein meal,I been going to my local libraries and taking out books to read to keep my brain stimulated and look myself up in my room and read for hours in solitude like if I was locked up,havnt even had an urge to go out or hit up a Thot for a quick nut

Thank You Gucci Mane
You inspired me to make some changes in my life and go back to when I had a healthy body mind and soul

Create some goals if you don't have any, and take the necessary steps each day to get closer to said goal.

If not, your wasting life.

I love solitude, unless I'm stressed or traumatized by something. In those cases I prefer to be around people as a distraction. Is something going on brother?

Being alone used to make me feel very anxious and depressed too, to the point where I would lay down in my bed and cry... (Yeah)...

First I started calling friends and family on the phone (anyone) and talk, sometimes I called up to 7 different people just to talk about random shyt or go outside to a park or a mall and it made me feel better... This resulted in me being very dependant on people and relationships and I hated it...

But now I'm learning how to embrace my alone time, that's how I discovered my love for music and books. It's a time to be really you and after I accepted this I started enjoying the peace and clarity in my thoughts... (I always overthink and think think think stuff)

Sometimes I still get lonely I'm not gonna lie, but I think it's normal as long as it's not a permanent state and you don't let it bring you down.
