I have to say, I really DID like living alone. That doesnt require me to not have PEOPLE in my life though. I am extremely hypersensitive to the moods of those around me,, to the point that it truly is more uncomfortable for me the more people are around unless it is a specifically JOYOUS occasion. I breathe alot easier when I am alone than when I am absorbing the stresses and moods of other people.

I have lived alone for over five years now and can't picture any other way, especially in my little house. I am surrounded by the things I like most, I can come and go as I please and I am never surprised by what the house looks like when I return. If I leave dishes, there they are, if I don't then there aren't any. If I save a special treat
for myself no one else eats it.

I loved being married, loved my late husband, enjoyed raising our boys and opening our home to my Nana for the last nine years of her life. Now I like my privacy, peace and quiet.

When I want together time there is usually a friend or my folks to enjoy being with.

I grew up with 10 siblings so peace and quiet were just words!!

I like living alone because when I get tired of people I can just close the door.

I also like that when I put something somewhere it is still in the same place when I get back to it...use to drive me crazy looking for a pair of scissors...when my kids were growing up

I can be a slob if I want to...cook if I want to...or eat froot loops for dinner...no one to complain

ahhhhhh

Freedom

I forgot this one
if I want to blow my food budget on a new leather coat or a fabulous pair of boots I can...thus the froot loops for dinner...oh well

I like that my house is spotless and I can run around in the nude.

Yes you are right...but throughout my marriage we lived alone together for only a few months! The rest of the time we had some friend or family member living with us. When he went to prison I had to move in with a friend & by the time I moved away for grad school, I ended up in a relationship that I should have never been in! I didn't realize at the time how stressed one person could make you, especially when the idea is that having someone to love you should make your life easier!
IME..this is the opposite...relationships complicate everything & I don't feel I should have to struggle to just be happy!

I am so happy to be living alone at this point in my life it is nearly overwhelming!!! I have always had to put the needs of others before mine & it may sound selfish to say such a thing, but not one of those people were striving to better their lives like I was.

Yes...I would prefer to have someone to share & love with, but NOW...I need time to work on me without having to be responsible for others.

As msharmony stated...so much less stressed! This is what I needed now to grow into what I have been working towards becoming for the last 10 years!

Lili...I had chocolate pudding with fresh strawberries & blueberries for donner the other night & it was amazing!

There's a few good sides to being single.....

You don't have to put up with anyone snoring

You don't have to pick up after anyone

You never wonder what happened to the gas in the car

I haven't lived alone yet, but I really want to for a while. I've had enough of dealing with other people's drama and BS.

Living alone has many great points, as already stated...but I think if you found the "right" person living together would be a different experience. Perhaps, most of us have never experienced our true soul mate.

Always being able to find my socks, right there on the floor where I left them, next to my underwear.

Nobody trying to change me....

Can watch sports with no problems

Yes...I never had a problem living with my soulmate, but his family....add random curse words here!!

For now I am enjoying my bayou-self time

Not having to worry about smelling up the bathroom. Or closing the door.

You can walk around naked whenever you want.

I'm not required to do anything I don't want to do.

I like the freedom of doing what I want, when I want with no one to answer to. Yeah living alone gets lonely but it also beats the heck out of planning your day for someone else, if I want to take my shoes off in the living room they can just stay there till I wear that pair again, if I don't want to do dishes then I don't............

Lucky you! I live alone and STILL can't find my stuff half the time!

I love everything about living alone. It took a little getting use to at first but I really enjoy it now!
