①Do you sometimes feel different, alone or left out? Teenagers don't usually like to be alone. Simply having to eat alone in the cafeteria is enough to make them feel upset. They are afraid of being called "a loner（独来独往的人）".
②But being a loner doesn't always mean being strange or disliked. Actually, it has become a lifestyle in many countries among young people who consider being alone to be a part of everyday life.
③In South Korea, there are a growing number of people who describe themselves as "honjok".The word comes from"hon"（alone） and "jok"（group）. These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves.
④In Japan, people have had a strong loner culture over the years. There are solo（单人的）karaoke bars and solo cafés. Ramen（拉面） restaurants for solo diners are especially popular. There are clapboards（隔板） between two seats in a line against the wall. Diners can't see the faces of other people.
⑤Knowing that you are not alone in being alone may make you feel better. But more importantly, you can try to find strength in your aloneness.
⑥Aloneness gives you time to look inside yourself or do other things without distraction（分心）. "It's hard to feel lonely when you're trying to learn a new skill, practice a hobby, or try out a new recipe（食谱）," wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux.
