‘Many people suffer from the fear of finding oneself alone, and so they don't find themselves at all’

You could be feeling like you’ve lost your way so it may be a good idea to find some space and spend time on your own. Time spent analysing your current situation and reflecting on recent events will help you to get things into perspective and regroup.

Being totally alone for a while will allow you to collect your thoughts without outside influence. Take time out in a place that's peaceful and quiet. Turn off your phone and your computer - the less distraction there is from the outside world the better.

​Spend this time figuring yourself out rather than trying to understand other people. If things have gone wrong then acknowledge where you were responsible and why.

 This is about introspection, self-analysis and self-understanding. Once you are at peace with yourself then you can contemplate tackling the feelings and motives of other people in the situation.
