AND LONELINESS IS HELPFUL FOR CAREER SUCCESS

Most people are very afraid of the lack of social contacts. Even in the office, it seems to them that they should not spend their holidays in solitude. They want to chat with colleagues or contact friends over the phone and keep up with what's happening on the web.

Communication is indeed a pleasure, but it still has limits, psychologists warn. It is exhausting if continuous and can become dangerous to health.

During a half-hour lunch break, you will clear your head much better if you are in the company of only yourself. Chatting with colleagues may not refresh you, but burden you. It is even mandatory to spend it in silence, since your work requires you to be in contact with many people almost all the time.

Talking while eating or having someone talk to you is also not at all good for health.

Solitude increases productivity and creativity. This has been proven by numerous studies and their results are one of the reasons why they are no longer considered modern so-called. open spaces in the offices. As a person who cannot hear his thoughts, he works less efficiently. If he is among colleagues even on breaks, he doesn't notice any variety.

You shouldn't think about your business commitments during the breaks, but they remain in your subconscious anyway. A break can be the catalyst that allows you to clarify an idea or solve a problem by seeing it in a different way. However, if you chat with colleagues, especially if they tell you about their work, they will distract you. Well, maybe their stories will tell you how to approach your task, but that doesn't happen very often. Relaxing alone is much more fruitful because it energizes and ultimately leads to career success.

Constant communication makes people less sensitive. According to results of psychological research, those who spend more time alone are more understanding and empathetic towards others. Scientists explain it by the fact that a person who constantly lives in "social noise" ceases to be impressed by the problems and needs of others, because he is overwhelmed.

Take time to be alone and listen only to your inner voice, experts advise. Multiple studies have found that it helps build a stronger psyche. When you give yourself minutes or hours alone, you start to feel more independent and more confident.

People who are constantly in contact experience more stress and more often suffer from depressive states.

The stress is understandable - no matter how pleasant the communication is, it is still taxing.

At first glance, however, this about depression is paradoxical, because research has shown that loneliness also leads to it. The secret is in the measure. A person who is used to constant communication, being alone even for a while, begins to feel anxiety.

The bottom line is that you have to dose carefully. Don't be the colleague who never talks informally with others. Let's not take over every day with everyone under control during the holidays. And when you can choose between several companies, prefer the one in which there is laughter, not grumbling.
