“I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.”
This got me thinking, it got me to introspect, if I was extremely unhealthy in my mind?
I always thought if people are able to define you it is good.I think they observe you at different situations judge you, notice your actions and reactions. Not just that they act as a stimulus that instigates your presence. i though truest proverb is that "Man is a social animal". Man real self is exhibited when he lives with human beings. he gets criticism, he gets appreciation.Then who else can be a better judge of you? I thought if people define you and weather that definition matches you own judgement about you or not, it is nonetheless the truest definition. A verdict that given by many and impartially.
Even though if I spend time with my own self all the time, I believe that the real me comes into action when i am with people, it makes me talk, express, laugh and cry. It makes me use my brain, which analyses and observes. It gives me reasons to think and analyse. Weather my existence is acknowledged or not i feel i am more with myself around human nature I feel my senses have work to do. They respond, react, act, think observe, ignore and so much more. Unlike times when i am alone, and it becomes extremely difficult for me to find things to keep me busy. I have to deliberately think of things to ponder on, things that would keep me busy, things that would emulate the presence of humans like TV and movies.. My mind is complexly blank and for sure that is not the correct definition of my self. If olivia wild thinks its healthy to be alone, certainly I am super unhealthy according to her. My body my mind feels a self numbness and according to her definition of healthiness this can become super suffocating.
I am not sure what thought to go with, i always thought i am healthier physically and mentally when around people. loneliness kills my mind. but may be i have trained it in the opposite way...!!!

Alone does not mean being alone for ever,as if someone asking you to be alone all the time excluding others.
It says simply ''are you comfortable with your own self or not '.
These are signs of an extrovert, which you are :-). So doesn't matter. I think Olivia's views may have been a bit biased because she may have been an introvert. I do not know of that ... just guessing!
