Your space, your time
How do we learn to be with other people if we don't learn to be with ourselves? This is something I ask myself today. I have learned to be with other people because I learned to respect my space, the space inside me.
I have learned so much to be with me alone that I love to be like this. I meditate, I wonder, I take deep breaths and I give myself my answers. After spending time with myself I seek to share my ideas with others.
I look for ways to be with other people and usually people who are known to me. Because in these times of my life I don't want to go out with people who don't interest me to talk or to share a relaxing time. I look for people who do not speak loudly to attract the attention of others or who always want to impose their ideas without respecting others.
In no way do I mean that I only want to share with those people who are similar to me, in ways of thinking or being because it is boring when I speak and expose my ideas and the interlocutor approves everything saying that he thinks the same. No, not at all. When I go out of my space of accompanied solitude, I try to be with people who tell me what they feel, think, or like.
After being with them for a while, I feel encouraged or recharged with new thoughts to return to my personal space and think about all the things I learned during my time in the company.
Over time I learned to love my time in my company more than with the company of others. I learned that I like my solitude accompanied by myself. I tend to think and develop so many thoughts. Whether reading, listening, or living my life.
I think many people like me, apart from being known as introverts, are people who like to be on their self. And not because of ego but because when we learn to appreciate our solitude we love it more than the constant company of others.
What do you think? Do you like your own company better or does the company of others nourish you the same?

I am an introvert but I like to be with everyone. And I think you should like your own company. It is not possible to be alone all the time. Spending time with family or friends can be boring while being alone can be boring .
