Being alone and confining yourself is one of the things that must be done by humans, but only in a short time. This is a manifestation of the way humans know themselves deeper, and change to be good.

However,  when solitude / solitary activities are carried out for too long, there  are various adverse effects that can occur namely:

1. Decreasing Mental

Of course, most solitude will limit yourself from interacting with the outside world and other people. This will make yourself inferior to the strengths of others. And chain effects will continue to occur when after feeling inferior, you decide to keep confining yourself.

2. STRESS !!

Stress will arise when there is no one we can talk to / confide in. This will get worse when your bad thoughts overwhelm and tell you to commit a crime.

3. Decreasing Health

Of course, confining yourself will cause stress, and this is not good for your health. Stress, life patterns (eating, sleeping, etc.) that are not healthy, will cause a truly real disease.

In addition, there are still a series of bad effects that can even result in a bad death if you keep confining yourself. So, as much as possible, whatever your mind is, don't be alone for too long. Your mentality becomes unhealthy, so does your body.
