I think that spending time alone it more efficient to release stress. Of course, getting along with others is very fun and makes me happy. However, it is usually helpful to spend time alone.
First, sometimes, spending time with others is stressful. To be specific, if there are others, I should take care of their opinion. However, if I spend time alone, because there are no disturbances, I can do anything without other opinions and interferences. For example, when I was exhausted by a lot of assignment, I usually went home and refuse meeting with my friends. In my case, I should spend more energy when I get along with my friends. Though the time which I spend time with my friend is really fun and make me happy, I am usually exhausted and tired after the party.
Second, in modern society, there are so many people anywhere. I think people sometimes should be isolated from crowd. Nowadays, many people are interfered and disturbed by others and it makes people to want to escape from their society. At this perspective, having time alone is pretty helpful. In my case, I usually have a trip alone when I am tired or have problems. Because there is no one who disturbs me, I can think about myself or my problem and figure it out more efficiently. Furthermore, it provides me peace and calmness.
In conclusion, I think that though getting along with others make me happy, it is just temporary and make me exhausted more than before. So, I think the more efficient way to relax or release stress is spend time alone.
