These people are very fortunate, for they help themselves in a very important way on a regular basis. Other people are given solitude involuntarily--with me it came from my insecurities and my inability to fit in with others. For me, solitude was very often loneliness, and very often painful. But I know now that I made it painful because of my perspective, and I regret losing so many opportunities that being on my own opened up to me--I'll never be able to get them back. Find or make time for yourself to be with yourself. Spend time thinking about who you are and who you want to be. Examine your strengths and focus on possibilities. Find the friend inside who has accomplished a lot, and learn to love yourself on your own terms. If you can do this, you've taken a very important step towards being able to help others to learn about themselves and to be more content with life.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Tom Walsh" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/tom-walsh/some-people-search-out-solitude-without-even-thinking-that-they-need/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f08/tom-walsh-21995_alone_some-people-search-out-solitude-without_1418797.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f08/tom-walsh-21995_alone_some-people-search-out-solitude-without_1418797.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f08/tom-walsh-21995_alone_some-people-search-out-solitude-without_1418797.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Some people search out solitude without even thinking that they need to do so--it's an innate urge with…” — Tom Walsh", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/solitude-loneliness/tom-walsh/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/solitude-loneliness/tom-walsh/", "name": "Solitude Loneliness Quotes by Tom Walsh", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/solitude-loneliness/tom-walsh/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f08/tom-walsh-21995_alone_some-people-search-out-solitude-without_1418797.jpg" }, "description": "1 Solitude Loneliness quotes by Tom Walsh.
