Topic: What do you like about living alone? | |
---|---|
What I like about living alone is the maturity of it. I can get through working things that I need or want. With a relationship with another person I have found that they can get what they want or need through you. Living alone cuts out the middle person. well stated trout! |

....in retrospect though....it is lonely. It's kinda dangerous too. Statistically speaking.....people that live alone die earlier. Crazy, huh? I mean....who's gonna' prevent me from cracking beers at 10 a.m.? Who's gonna' care for me when I don't? Living alone.....you confront yr self.......... |

I enjoy being able to confront my own emotions before someone else gets a chance to twist or convolute the situation! Seems everyone I have ever lived with needs the tv or radio blaring constantly & now I have the quietness to just think about things. I take much better care of myself than anyone else has! |

Living alone.....you confront yr self.......... i would think there are pro's and con's on both sides. life is about balance and THAT, no matter where you are, is not always easy to achieve. |

I have lived alone for so long I don't think I could live with another~~~~~~~I can come and do as I please and when ever I want to.....and don't have to answer to anyone why I'm doing what I'm doing.

I lived with so many other people (family, friends, significant other) for so many years that now I really enjoy my solitude! I like....being able to wear what I want when I want, eat or sleep when it is convenient for me, enjoy peace & quiet time (this one is my favorite), to not have a particular spot to sit when lounging in the living room, my dogs sleeping with me if they want! What do you enjoy about being alone? |

Being able to come and go at a moments notice without having to tell anyone. Also all decisions are made quickly without having to ask anyone what they think about it. Also great to wake up and get out of bed...place is quiet...can turn on coffee maker and turn on the news to relax in the living room.

Seems everyone I have ever lived with needs the tv or radio blaring constantly & now I have the quietness to just think about things. I take much better care of myself than anyone else has! Good point. And if I don't take good care of myself who but me could I blame? My ex tried to explain this to me many years ago but I wasn't ready then. Now I know if I don't clean up after myself it will just stay there. And truly I have nobody to blame but me just like she said. Her cleaning up after me was just the same as my mother cleaning up after me before we got married. Only mother nipped it in the bud with no drama. My older and sister me cleaned up the house while mom watched her soaps. We in return gave up that position to our younger siblings as mom had taught us to take over her job if she hadn't designated that job to us. A relationship can make one take another for granted if they just step in and do for somebody else what they should already be doing for themselves. I am facing that with a resident at work who is physically able to do for herself but chooses not to because through manipulation and me being easy to manipulate by her just laughs at me when I broach the subject with her. My coworker tells me that I need to treat her like she treats me when she feigns her selective hearing or that she acts dumb and claims not to understand me. I did ask for this behavior modification of her but in the interest of restorative care if I keep giving in to her by doing for her what she refuses to do for herself then in actuality I am not helping her. She is only 37. It is like what you call tough love by some. |

I would have to agree with most everything already said about living alone, I would just add to the list that when I set something down somewhere I know it will stay there until I come back to it! I have a bad enough time trying to remember what I did with things without other people moving them on me...lol

I have a bad enough time trying to remember what I did with things without other people moving them on me...lol yes...add that one to my list :) trout...I tried explaining it to my ex, but you can't tell a drunk anything anyhow!!! When we first split he called and told me it was my fault that he didn't eat for 3 days...WTF? I don't wanna play mommy to a grown man or be an enabler to their bad habits that make it 10X harder for me to accomplish my goals. He complained too much about things that meant to little and it just wore me down! He quit drinking & pill popping after the episode just before xmas when I had the sheriff remove him from my property, but little too late! We still talk and I will support his sobriety as a friend (esp. since he moved 200 miles away), but I have moved on with my life and am not prepared to let anyone else damper my little happy world here. |

I like living alone because if I decide I just don't want to clean the place today, I can say f*** it and nobody will tell me otherwise.

the selling point of living alone, for me
less stress,,,I am low maintenance and easy to please, when my primary responsibility throughout the day is ME,,,its much less stressful the down point of living alone is without others, there is little room to grow and learn(outside of 'book' learning) and life becomes STAGNANT |

truly,,I don't think any of us really like being,,or living alone..
SURE,,THATS much better than,,,being with someone you have grown to hate,,,BUT,,really,,I think we SAY THAT,,but truth be known,,we would prefer,,a SOMEONE to share time,and talk, and making love to.. And ALONE,,is SINGLE...as ONE,, SURE,,one can oder out ANY THING for the night,,but WAKING WITH,,and KNOWING you have each other,,PRICE-LESS!!!! I've lived in marriage most of my life,,now being single,,IT SUCKS,,but it is BETTER than TRYING to love and feel their love in return,,when the love,,,is gone.. |
