“Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine.” — Honoré de Balzac

Whilst solitude is sometimes perceived as an escape from the bustle of life, it can also be uncomfortable. It can foster introspection and personal development, but it can also exacerbate feelings of alienation. The environment in which it is experienced and the mentality we bring to it often determine whether it turns out to be an upside or a curse.

From Einstein to Newton, There is a famous saying that “Introverts and outcasts tend to most witty and recognized in long run”. I personally thinks it depends on economics(people's choices) and their own decision-making ability.

Let's see two far-opposite stories about isolation:

The most famous discovery of Henry Cavendish, the renowned British physicist, chemist, and natural philosopher, is probably hydrogen, which he named "inflammable air." He made crucial contributions to the knowledge of electrical phenomena and gaseous substances within the scientific world.

Throughout his life, he was a warm but introverted British scientist whose ground-breaking research was frequently unnoticed. James Clerk Maxwell examined Cavendish's unpublished works after his passing and found that Cavendish had predicted a number of important scientific ideas, such as:
1 → Charles's Law (gases)

2 → Coulomb's Law (electric forces)

3 → Ohm's Law (electric circuits)

4 →Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures (gases)

When Cavendish's heat manuscript was examined in the twenty-first century, it revealed a theory that closely resembled the subsequent evolution of thermodynamics, demonstrating that Cavendish was aware of the nature of heat long before it was given a formal definition. Even though Cavendish was reluctant to publish, his work is now acknowledged as being fundamentally necessary to modern science.

Here solitude acted as a con which banned him from getting huge recognition from patents. On the other hand,  

Renowned American theoretical physicist Richard Feynman is best recognized for his contributions to particle physics, quantum mechanics, and  QED .Because of his outgoing and daring personality, Feynman was one of the most entertaining and significant scientists of his era. He became a real icon in both popular culture and physics because of his ability to combine academic rigor with humor and curiosity, which won over learners as well as peers.

The way Feynman taught was anything but conventional. His ability to elucidate intricate ideas in an easy-to-understand manner made his lectures engaging for the pupils.

Questioning Norms: Feynman regularly disputed accepted scientific knowledge, promoting skepticism and critical thinking.
Pushing Limits: He was not hesitant to push limits and investigate novel ideas, frequently looking for original ways to solve issues.
Testing standards: Feynman explored ways to creatively challenge the limitations of existing standards and practices, fostering a more open-minded perspective in academia.

From my perspective, I prefer both .Being in total isolation helps to acquire absolute focus but being a leader and achieving tasks as a team is a total win-win situation.
