First of all, it’s okay to feel the need for solitude.
Here it seems that the Seeker’s need for solitude is so much that s/he just wants to isolate themself and somehow just shut up the external world.
Solitude is a state of being alone without feeling lonely where you are just with yourself and enjoy your own company.
Look we all need solitude from time to time doesn’t matter if you are an Introvert or an Extrovert or maybe an Ambivert or Omnivert.
We all need solitude, some need more like Introverts, and some need less like Extroverts, however, the point is everyone needs it.
It’s a very basic requirement, it helps us to reflect on ourselves and help us gain self-awareness. Embracing solitude allows for self-reflection, personal growth, and the nurturing of a resilient and contented self.
At times when we are working continuously over a period, it so happens that we feel like taking a break or extremely isolating ourselves from the external overwhelming world... in all those situations it’s okay to take some time for ourselves, be with yourself, in fact, I would recommend you to start giving yourself some “me-time” from either every day, specific days (for me its Wednesday) or at least in weekends.
How much time would be enough for you?
-Well, it just depends on how much you need.
Why would you need “me-time”?
-We all know that to have and maintain healthy relationships with others we need to give them quality time. How about a healthy relationship with ourselves?
Should we give ourselves “me-time” regularly?
-Well, it depends on your relationship with yourself.
You see with some people you need to spend time with them frequently, while with some people you rarely spend time with them but still, the relationship goes on.
Look we prefer to spend more time with people who are close to us or who are valuable to us, so spending quality time with them and maintaining a positive, good relationship with them is almost a requirement, then how about the relationship we have with ourselves?
So, if you want a strong healthy intrapersonal relationship (relationship with yourself) then yes you shall give yourself “me-time” regularly.
