Spending time in isolation would be very different from the way the majority of humans live. Living totally alone would cause major changes in personality and mood. I think that at first, a person may use the solitude as a time to think about their life and process their situation. When alone, a person mind is free from distractions and can be thoroughly cleared. The freedom from media and electronics would be refreshing. Social media in particular can have such a negative effect on a persons mood or feelings and separation from that can be good for the soul. After the soul-searching and freedom, I think that the isolation would become very lonely and upsetting. Human interaction is a necessity in life for growth and development of a person and their brain. I do believe that there are a few people out there who would actually totally benefit from solitude and be able to survive in those extreme conditions.
Personally, I would use the first few moments alone to take a step back and evaluate myself. I would evaluate my behaviors, morals, ideas, actions, and many other things that create who I am. A break from social media would be such a relief and give me time to process my own opinions of myself and situations around me without paying attention to what others value. However, I could not imagine living alone in isolation. Personally, I thrive off of human interaction and being around others. I am in my most comfortable and happy state when I am surrounded by my friends and family. Being around other people and seeing their happy faces boosts my personality and mood. In isolation, I would become very sad and lonely and I don't think I could survive for even a short period time.
