"1 year JEE prep + 4 years at IIT + 6 years in my previous jobs: I was all alone, away from home, always had very few close friends, never had a girlfriend. 'LONELINESS'. I had a close encounter with loneliness. I grew up when I was alone," he said on X (formerly Twitter).

Mr Tyagi said that individuals need to learn how to be happy alone and not depend on others all the time. "When we are with people, we feel happy. But when those people leave us, we are broken. Having good social relationships is healthy. We should have. However, we don't have genuine people around all the time. We must know how to be happy alone." Secondly, he said, "be your close friend." Stating some examples, he said that one should spend time alone like walking, which will eventually help you start enjoying your company.
