By default, always.
It is a good place to start because there is no distractions for the "real issues" so, it gets beautifully uncomfortable from the get go. But let me tell you, this place is where the magic happens, Dude.

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
When everything quiets down around me it's when I feel it's the noisiest. Around people and friends life is unburdened and so called "problems" are far from sight. Alcohol and drugs have the same effect of lightening life's load. Being around girl's is almost a drug sometimes. Only when everything is gone and I'm by myself do things arise.-Blaise Pascal I consciously chose solitude a few months back. It was a difficult decision, but I felt it was needed to confront my demons. I still stand by my decision. Loneliness can really pick you apart. I do go out with friends, but am more into myself and alone most of the day. Has anyone else played around with purposely choosing solitude? |

by default Dali?! Props to you!
... it gets beautifully uncomfortable from the get go. Oh it is very uncomfortable! My thoughts are: put in the work now, and sow the rewards a bit later; even if it feels crippling at the moment.What did you feel like in the beginning? |

... it gets beautifully uncomfortable from the get go. Oh it is very uncomfortable! My thoughts are: put in the work now, and sow the rewards a bit later; even if it feels crippling at the moment.What did you feel like in the beginning? Like all endeavors the feeling was: Why am I even doing this shit!? When did it occur to me? What whas I thinking? Am I a freak or something?... Am I trying to scape some thing in my life by closing my eyes and "be with it" and then call it I will live in solitude or "meditate", or is that "someone else" trying to cheat on me making me believe, that this thing I'll do is avoiding life?... But at the end, what's inside my mind is my life and by that personal conclusion I was not avoiding life, rather I will dwelve in it to the fullest by observing it. Dhayana or Zen or Meditation, the same shit. This was the feeling, like hoplessness but not so dramatic, just hopeless like when one fails at a test and it's too late to regret. I didn't know other thing to do that really amuse me and frighten me at the same time. For me it's a good combo. |

Likewise. I have thoughts of: what the fuck am I doing? Am I insane? At the moment I don't know the certain WHY I am doing this. Instead I just know the feeling of doing it is producing a "in the right direction" feeling. Beside I've heard it countless times in one way or another...I have all the answers I need within. I don't know the causality of what will happen, but I will post more when clarification arises.

^^ oh gotta mention, I always check what people have inside their fridge, when I am introduced to their home. And without permission. Curiosity is a natural trait.  It´s fun. |

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude
to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. -Ralph W. Emerson (Self-Reliance) |
