From the point of view of a group of psychological theories, solitary behaviors may be inconsistent with mental health, so that in these theories aloneness is considered a difficult situation that must be prevented or remedied by children who play alone, it is as if they are unhealthy and break the norm and have mercy on those who engage in individual activities. But from other perspectives, aloneness can be beneficial to psychological functioning, so that the urgent need for privacy and positive experiences of solitude are considered common features of self-fulfilling prophecies. In this article, by reviewing the concept of aloneness and investigating the pros and cons of this capacity, we tried to discuss the origin of the formation of aloneness and its significant effects on mental maturity so that mental health professionals can become more familiar with this concept in order to improve this capacity in psychological structure.
