There are some people who dread living alone because of one reason or another. For some, the fear of being lonely all the time is something that they can't deal with which is why they will always like to have people's company.

What's your take on living alone?
 
It's a nice way of living if you are an introvert like me. I would only recommend it for people with social issues.

Echoing this. As an introvert who finds it difficult and exhausting to be around people 24/7, it's really, really nice to come home to silence and no one else but my cats to worry about. I can do whatever I want, go to bed when I want, listen to my music, watch movies, play video games and not have to worry about when it's dinner time or bothering someone else (aside from the fact that I live in an apartment; you know, so just basic politeness).

As long as you got room to talk to the voices in your head, its' good....

Here's my timeline of living with people:
- Living with my dad, mom and brother
-Living with grandparents, mom and brother (mom and dad split up)
-Living with mom and brother (got our own place)
-Living with just my mom (brother moved back in with grandparents)
-Living with a girlfriend (got our own place)
-Living with girlfriend and daughter (she was born a year later)
-Living alone but had my daughter on the weekends (after me and her mom broke up)
-Living with boyfriend and had my daughter on the weekends
-Living with boyfriend and daughter full time

...so yeah there was a period when I did live alone (5 days a week). I did that for about 5 years (give or take). I enjoyed that time but its better to have people around. Even when I did live alone I always had pets.
 
I lived alone for 4 years during and after high school. For one, my family has a lot of rental property. I didn't get along with my mom so they put up at a rental house joint owned by them and my grandparents my junior year in high school where I lived alone for a while. Did I enjoy it? Yes for the reason I didn't have to worry about getting my ass chewed over something every evening I got home.
 
I am one of those that dread living alone. I get lonely rather easily without some company. That's probably why I'm 32 and still live with my parents.

I own this house and I still get chewed out over not doing the dishes or taking out the trash or whatever. :lol:

You get used to it. Having pets helps.

Well don't that just take the cake? :p
 
I cannot live alone. I feel empty if am alone. I need to hear sounds from my companions at home , share laugter, jokes, fun and happy eating time.
 
Yeah, we have 3 dogs right now and with me and my brother being home alone right now, they do indeed help!
Aww, I want to get some doggies!
 
It's magnificent! I spent years living with my parents who wouldn't let me leave home and live my own life so you bet I like it! I've never wanted marriage and am the ultimate loner so it suits me fine. La soltera para siempre.
 
For now yes, but I have to admit that I still very much enjoy the company of my family. In 2020-2021 I was living alone because I was studying abroad, in addition I was depressed because of a toxic relationship that I've had. It was a complete hell. I never want to experience that ever again.

Well thats good you got out of that toxic relationship. Hopefully the next one will be better! :hug:
 
But there are times that I like to be alone if there is something that upsets me for some hours only.
 
No... I'd get lonely, and I'd be too scared of getting into trouble with nobody there to help me out of it.
 
I cannot live alone. I might suffer loneliness and emptiness in life.
