Often we are alone, for example when leaving home, going to school, the market, or any other place where we can be alone. Autophobia is anxiety about being isolated from other people. A person with this phobia does not necessarily have to be physically alone to experience symptoms. Other names for autophobia include eremophobia, monophobia, and isolophobia.

6 Healthy ways to be ALONE after HEARTBREAK

1.Dont lower your standards

Don't let the fear of being alone make you settle for something less. It is not just being alone that worries us, it's feeling alone that worries us. This is our opportunity to get know ourselves. If you want someone to fall in love with you,we have to fall in love with ourselves first. Our biggest mistakes are that we try to get know other's interests before we know our own. We try to learn about everyone else's favorite color and movie before we know our own. And we learn to know what makes other happy before we learn what makes ourselves happy. As Aristotle said,”Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom" .

2.Don't chase anyone

If you have to chase someone, that means they don't want to be with you. Maya Angelou said,"when people show you who they are believe them the first time". This is your time to chase personal growth,to chase your development,to chase your dreams,your Passions,your potential,and your purpose,not chase another people.

3.Start a hobby

Use this time to start new hobbies,new interest,or maybe even something you forgot you love to do. Maybe there was something in your childhood that you've now left behind. Maybe there's something that you used to turn to that you've forgotten about. Recreate that,relive that,bring that back into your life with this extra time that you now have.

4.Learn Something New

Our happiness is so closely linked to how much we are processing,how much we're learning,and how much we're achieving. Start listening to a new podcast,to maybe more TED talks,maybe reading new books. This is your time to learn .

5.Live with Intention

Start crafting your life so that anyone you spend time with, anything you spend time doing is done with deeper intention, understanding why you're doing it and what purpose it brings into your life.

6.Talk to Yourself

Remember, the most important meeting of the day is with yourself. The most important call is with yourself. When you're able to interact with yourself, understand your emotions,and navigate your mind,you're starting to be comfortable alone. I read a study where men and women were given the option to either spend time alone with their thoughts for fifteen minutes,or give themselves an electric shock. Roughly thirty percent of women gave themselves an electric shock,and around sixty percent of men chose the electric shock. Instead of using an escape,instead of finding another person or thing to get attached to,learn to be comfortable and at peace with your own thoughts. Maybe it's through mindfulness,maybe through meditation, or maybe just journaling. If we never learn to be alone, we'll always feel that we're lonely.

________________________

For me I prefer to be alone rather than spending time with TOXIC persons.

Love yourself because in the end of the day you're the only one who has your back .

When people show you who they really are, believe them the first time.

If we never learn to be alone, we'll always feel that we are lonely.
