You should date yourself. Some solitude is fundamental for self-development. Meditation is fantastic, but a lot of people are afraid of sitting still, alone, in silence. Sounds scary.

So, if you are not into meditating (yet), try to have some quality time alone.

Resting on the vine, by Carl Spitzweg, 1845.

Go to a cafe, sit down and don’t pick your phone for the entire cup of coffee. Just be there, with your thoughts. People watch. Make a comparison. Mock someone in silence. Laugh with your eyes. See, you are a good companion.

Take a bath with yourself. Put a nice song, light candles and incense. Don’t allow company besides observing cats. Look at yourself being you. Get to know yourself. Acknowledge your thoughts. Categorize them. Acknowledge your feelings. Categorize them. Get to conclusions. Get anxious. Analyze it. Learn with the patterns.

You have a lot to learn with yourself, but it takes time. Make the time.
