Sometimes it feels like we're being pulled in multiple directions by social expectations. There is a weight we bare by being a part of someone's life (at least for me), and it can be overwhelming, Taking a break from your social life and only having to worry about your own thoughts, desires, and emotions is sort of like a purge of others thoughts/expectations of you, allowing you to realign your psyche to focus on what's the best for you and your goals, not what someone else wants of you. Did that make any sense? Probably not, but it does to me :)
