Some people do not like to spend time with other people. I do.
But that does not mean that I do not like to stay alone for long periods of time.
I think both alternatives have attractive reasons to choose what to do with my time.
There is many things that I prefer to do alone, without company.
I like to study alone, for example.
I know sharing knowledge is essential when studying, but I think there is a right time for that.
In the first moment, I lean forward to do it by my own.
I like to read the textbook, take notes, think about the subject.
Then, I can discuss the substance with other people, but this first moment it is only me and the book.
I do not go to psychoanalysis sessions.
I tried to do that, but it just does not work for me.
When I have an introspective question, when I am doubtful about life or any metaphysical matter, I meditate.
I have the ability to stay sited hours long just thinking about life and death, the meaning of life, that stuff.
These are things that we cannot bother our friends with.
Everbody has these thoughts and chats about them seldom are conclusive.
Self-knowledge is very important and it is only possible to acquire facing yourself.
Otherwise, friends are awesome.
They are awesome to have fun.
I cannot imagine go to beach or anything like that alone.
Good moments are supposed to be shared.
Friends can make the most trivial routine, like order a pizza and watch a movie something special.
The student times are unforgettable, not because you learn a bunch of new subjects, yet because of the friends you make.
Knowledge can be found in books, friends cannot.
You have to live, go out, to make them.
Beside the metaphysical matter, friends are the best people you can find to ask advice.
True friends want the best of your life and they know you more than anyone else.
They can see beyond our stubbornness.
My friends are used to the way I proceed and they are capable to foresee the stupid things that I am about to do.
Listening to your friends, this is good advice.
In essence, there is no general rule about how spend your time.
I have friends who talk about life and death to me, and I listen them.
Every person works in one way.
Every person knows what is better for them.
To me, the best thing is put things on a balance and try to spend good times with my friends, bother them the less I can and do what I alone what I do better alone.
