Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Is there an upside to having no social life?
Have you tried to figure how much time you spend on social activities per day or week on average, such as going out or having a drink with a friend, or attending a party? Why such social activities are important to you? Is that just for fun or because of fear of missing out? No matter what the reason might be, most people engage in some kinds of social activities often or occasionally. Have you ever thought of staying away from such activities entirely for some time?
One freelancer did an experimental social disconnection for a month and found that it gave him more chance to do things that he usually didn’t, such as cooking, exercising, and reading. Also, he found himself more creative or productive to the things that had been unsolved.
Some researchers also suggest that staying away from routine tasks make people become more open-minded to new ideas or solutions. It sounds social disconnection seems to be beneficial at least to some extent. In the meantime, the writer of the article is quite aware that social activities provide new opportunities and good relationships with others.
Enjoy reading and thinking if you’re interested in disconnecting yourself from the activities you think are necessary or unavoidable.
