This what Laura Schoker proved in her blog "How living alone can be Good For You".
A chance to recharge. In a society built around extroverts, who get their energy from being around other people, we’re just now beginning to recognize that some people, so-called introverts, build energy and strength in being alone. Susan Cain, author of the recent book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts,” explained in a Q&A withScientific American: “When you’re working in a group, it’s hard to know what you truly think. We’re such social animals that we instinctively mimic others’ opinions, often without realizing we’re doing it. And when we do disagree consciously, we pay a psychic price.”
People are often surprised when I tell them I identify as an
introvert — I’m outgoing and enjoy being around people, but I also need time to
myself at the end of the day to regroup. Living alone allows me to build my
energy back up so that I can go and
spend it with others.
