How to use "By oneself" in context?
When you are "by yourself" there is a certain feeling of emptiness. You are the only person in the world and all that exists is you. It can be a liberating experience or a scary one, depending on how you approach it. Alternatively, you may feel compelled to fill the empty space with noise, thoughts, or activities. Either way, by yourself allows self-discovery and the opportunity for growth.
