azygous (written, while on the toilet, waiting)

Getting used to being alone isn't that bad

You learn to depend on yourself more often

which in turn helps develop a more solid foundation to your self-esteem

It also dissuades you from not encouraging your personal opinion

and persuades you to avoid external influences

like television or your co-worker with an inflamed male ego

You also never have to feel awkward about walking into social situations by yourself

and pretending to talk to someone on your cellphone

while waiting in line to check out movies you want to borrow

You would feel better about seeing a happy couple walk across your line of sight

in the park

knowing both of them are absolutely frightened of the thought of being alone

But

you would be completely hopeless

when you happen to be on the toilet and the power goes out.
