Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to truly relax and reduce stress is to spend time alone. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. ( 09/29/07)

There is no denying that people always face pressure and difficulties. The way we address the problem may vary as we differ from each other. Some people may find dealing with stress alone is a better way, while others may disagree. As far as I am concerned, to share it with intimate fellows like friends, parents and other relatives may help to pull myself out of depression and become relaxed easily.

To begin with, it is other people’s assistance, directly or indirectly, that light up our darkness and lead us to feel relieved. When we encounter with some difficulties or dilemma, we are easily to be blue and give up. However, turning to friends would truly relax ourselves and reduce stress at the same time. A particular case in this point is that when I was worried about my final examination, I could not focus on study. At that time, I even wanted to abandon myself to forget the damn exam. However, Lily, one of my best friends, came to me. She comforted and encourages me by telling me I could not push myself so hard and I could do it. Thanks to her support, finally I got through those nightmares and got a desirable result. Definitely, these could not happen if I spent time alone with sadness and confusion.

Moreover, in lieu of staying alone, getting together with a crowd of friends brings enormous fun, which could reduce stress and lead to relaxation. It is undoubted that the more people, the more funny and creative ideas are, which would be a great help when we are in pressure or in tension. Imagine that we are planning a trip after tensioned and exhausted work. It would get a lot of fun by discussing the destination and the process with a great many of friends.

Admittedly, we may need quiet space to cry out alone. We are individuals different with each other. Sometimes other people can not understand us. So there is no use to talk to them. However, chances that this circumstance occurs are little. All in all, it would be a better way to reduce stress and gain relaxation by sharing happiness and sadness with some one else.
