9. Solitude is not Hygge
It seems like there are a lot of things that are considered to be hygge, but what things are not? Extended periods of solitude, for instance, are not considered hygge. While it is hygge to snuggle under the blankets and read a book near the fire by yourself, you shouldn't spend all your time this way. Hygge includes a community element, meaning that the best time is time spent with friends and family. Spending all your time looking at your phone is another not-so-hygge act. Phones are stressful, and hygge is relaxing, which is why it is so appealing in our hectic modern world.
