A Psychologist Explains The Benefits Of Being Alone


Listen Later

Today I am joined by psychologist Nancy Sokarno, also known as Psych With Sokz. The questions we answer on this episode: 

  • How has the pandemic changed our relationship with being alone?
  • A follower sent me the following, "One of the positives of lockdown was we were put in a meditative state - where we got time to think and decide which way we want to grow."  Do you think the alone time was overall a positive or negative experience for people or does it depend on the person? Will people emerge with new ideas on life? 
  • You've previously said,  “Being alone also often allows you to make better decisions because you aren’t persuaded by outside influence." Can you explain why?
  • Are there other benefits of being alone? Are there benefits of doing things outside of your comfort zone alone eg. travel?
  • Do some people prefer to be single & alone than be in a coupled-up, long-term relationship?
