'You don't need to be around people and you don't need validation all the time. You can do this on your own even if you take yourselves out for a meal on your own, once you get used to it it's the best think ever.

Ekin-su split from the Italian businessman, 29, for a second time after a series of blazing rows over his friendships with OnlyFans models.
The reality star described their relationship as a 'rollercoaster' and admitted that while the pair 'care deeply for each other' they just couldn't make it work.
This is not the first time Ekin-su has referenced her former boyfriend.
Last month, the influencer took to her Instagram stories to post a snap of herself wearing a T-shirt that read 'world's best ex-girlfriend' to poke fun at their recent breakup.
And in another clip, Ekin-Su also joked that she was 'Dancing with bae' as she spun in circles by herself.
The little nods towards her ex come after she admitted she has 'a lot more boundaries' going into future relationships following her split from the Italian hunk.
And enforcing boundaries is something the star is keen to share with her followers as she encouraged them to be confident and take advice from her new book.
The bombshell memoir includes what really happened in her relationship with Davide before their split as well as a look back on her time on reality television so far.

Her new tell-all book, Be Your Own Best Friend, will see her open up on childhood trauma and bullying, as well as looking back on her experiences taking part in Love Island, The Traitors US and Celebrity Big Brother.
She told The Sun: 'It's everything, my experience with Davide, there's a lot in there. I'm done hiding. I'm done lying and protecting other people, this is my truth.'
She added that writing the book felt 'like therapy' and said she 'want people to know me for me, not the work I’ve done or the wronguns I’ve dated.'
The star took to Instagram to reveal the release of her book at the start of July.
Sharing a casual snap dressed in linen trousers and a crop top, she penned: 'Writing this has taken me on an emotional rollercoaster! I’m nervous to share with you the most vulnerable parts of me.
'I hope it will help you all to understand me a little better, why I am the way I am, and why I’m not perfect.
'Writing this book has made me cry (a lot), but also laugh and smile, and I’ve laid things bare which is scary for me. Please show support and pre order a copy (link in my bio). This is the most nervous I’ve ever been! Shall we start a book club? Let me know what you think?!
'Thank you for always supporting me ❤️ I can’t wait for you all to start sending me your thoughts on the book, and take pictures with your copies! Make sure you tag me so I can share your pics'
