what is Solitude?

Solitude refers to the state of being alone, often by choice, without the presence of others. It is different from loneliness, which is typically associated with negative feelings of isolation or abandonment.

People seek solitude for various reasons, such as:

  • Self-reflection: To think deeply about one’s life, decisions, or emotions.

  • Creativity: Artists, writers, and thinkers often find inspiration and focus in solitude.
  • Mindfulness: Being alone can help individuals practise meditation or mindfulness without distractions.
