feeling.However. you don't have to actually be alone to feel that way. Many times. I've felt loncly when surrounded by a big group of people. In contrast, being alone can actually be a blessing.particularly. when you've actively
chosen it.In my experience, being bored and alone is dangerous and can easily lead to the feeling of loneliness.The trick is to be active. [17]Get outside. stretch your legs. do something cultural. buy yourself something tasty 1o cat or something pretty to Wear.You don't have to take anyone else into
consideration and can do whatever you please.[18]Spending time alone also llows you to more eficicntly take care of problems. And then,when it's time to be social and meet up with your friends. you will be fully there, because you won't have t0o much other suff floating around in your mind. Having been alone for a bit, you will also appreciate your friends' company more and chances are your fime spent together will be more worthwhile. 16：What does the speaker say about being alone？
