What is the best thing to do when someone is alone?

Answer 1

That depends on the mindset of the person is alone. First of all the person has the love themselves enough to know that there is NOTHING wrong with being alone. I rather be alone, than to have a person in my life that is not worthy of my energy, time, everything. And second, if you are a person that needs something to do, find something to do such as volunteering at your local hospital or at your local homeless shelter. You will quite surprised to see how you can very well help someone who is worsted off than you, and not realizing that because you are doing something positive for some else, that you are helping yourself. That can take care of the "being alone" factor.

Answer 2

There is a difference between some body being alone and being lonely. One may like to be alone and feel comfortable being so . There is nothing abnormal about it. If an other wise extrovert and outgoing person suddenly keeps away from the company of others, this recluse behaviour requires observation and if necessary psychiatric attention. Many, me one of them, feel at home being alone. Often a sublime mood sets in, when you are unto yourself. In my view, most of the persons have a private face and a healthy person, if left alone, feel a deep meditative sensation. It is the time when you feel the timelessness and a consciousness away from this earthly world take possession of you. Many artists love being alone and much of the celebrated creations and works of art are conceived and given birth, as the artists are alone.

Answer 3

When alone, know that you really aren't, your higher or inner self is always with you, and so are your guides and angels, so being alone is actually a good time to communicate or commune with them.

Slow down, and savour those moments of aloneness and inner silence as they are rare, and a gift from your soul, use them well and wisely, go within. Don't try to FILL them up with busyness, or sounds and words, instead discover solitude, in your aloneness. People go up the Himalayas to find such peace, you are lucky you get it at your home.

Answer 4

Stop thinking. It kills believe me. When you're alone, and you've nothing to do, you should avoid sit down and you should avoid thinking about your future. Because the more you think, the more problematic the world seems. The more you think about your future, the more dark and gloomy life seems. You are sure to think about terrorism, you are sure to think about poverty, you are sure to feel sad. So my advise is, don't think.

Praying and meditation. OK, yes, it is fine to pray and meditate. But when you pray to God, you tend to do a religious activity. That may lead to thinking about the recent activities of religious terrorism. You'll get sad. When you pray, you tend to ask God for things. You would ask for peace, you would ask for money, you would ask for success. That is not good. Asking good for worldly things is not good. So, perhaps it is not a good option either. Praying and meditation should be done routinely at fixed time, with fixed goals.

So, my idea is...when you get free time, switch on your computer, LOG ON TO ANSWERS.YAHOO.COM AND WRITE ANSWERS TO PEOPLE'S QUESTIONS. YOU WILL DISCOVER THINGS, YOU'LL DISSIPATE KNOWLEDGE, AND YOU WILL SCORE MARKS.

Answer 5

Write a song. If you play an instrument you can sit and play around with it. Plus if it's really good you may be able to do something with it. Or you could read a book or talk to someone on the phone or chat online or walk around your neighborhood or listen to music. All options I like :)

Answer 6

leave them alone. You or someone else? When I am alone I take the opportunity to just be me. I do alot of thinking and wondering. When some one else is alone...who knows what they are doing!

Answer 7

Being alone in this wonderful world is boring. So when you are alone go out and look for a good company.

Answer 8

There is no "one best thing" to do when you are alone.

One of the most important things in life is to develop yourself in accord with your own personal values (not those imposed on you by parents and teachers). As you begin to act more in accord with your personal values, you will gain lots of experience about whether these values are leading you in a direction you really like, or are just making you confused and miserable. Eventually you will form a personal philosophy that really works for you. You should read popular philosophy and psychology books too, as well as philosdophical novels by the like of Hermann Hesse and others, as these will provide good starting points fo your own reflections.

As this process continues you will come to know yourself and your values better, and become more aligned with your true values -- the ones that actually work for you. In this way you will come to really like yourself a lot.

Then you will be very good company for yourself when you are alone.

You may find that when you become the person you really like, many people will hunger for your company. As you will value friendship (anyone who does not will not be a person you would want to be like) you will want to spend time with friends. As you will value love and possibly sexual pleasure (as you should), you will want to be with those who are affectionate. You may not get to have enough time by yourself. You will really cherish every moment that you get to be alone just to be with yourself.

OK. What to do when you are by yourself? You will find that your own values will guide you, as will the life goals that you derive from them. If you value solid knowledge about deep subjects, then you will read about philosophy, science, and religion. If you value aesthetic creativity, then you will paint, or practice a musical instrument. If you value inner peace, then you will meditate, or take a quiet walk in nature.

The first question, however, is not what to do, but what to be. If you are a person that you yourself value highly, then you will of course value yourself and your time, and use it wisely to acheve goals that accord with your values.

Answer 9

Hmm... I think the best thing to do while being alone is to walk around the house naked. Do the chores, blast the music and dance while being naked and just have fun doing things you've done before except this time your doing them naked.

Answer 10

Take advantage of the extra time and get in shape. Working out can be a lot o fun. Before you know it, you'll be feeling and looking great. Also, get involved in your community. Volunteer at a school, hospital, church, etc. It's a great way to make new friends.
