Living alone is wild. One minute you’re a functional adult, the next you’re eating cereal with a fork because all the spoons are in the sink… and you’re okay with that. I recently caught myself talking to myself. No idea when that started.
Men who live alone, what’s a weird habit you’ve developed that no one knows about?

I vaccum only the parts of the floor that i can see while sitting on the couch
I got a recliner for just my dog. No one else
I microwave tea because I’m too lazy to boil water again. British ancestors probably rolling in their graves.
My trash doesn’t go out until it Start’s judging me.
Yesterday I stirred my tea with tweezers because spoon was far away 🤷♂️
I only flush the toilet when I crap.
i use disposable utensils plates bowls cups when i’m alone, and i wfh but when i’m logged out i’m pretty much in undies and a robe as much as possible
edit – as much as possible i use a convection toaster oven and i put food into a disposable aluminum pan to cook it in there
There’s been entire days where I’ve been naked.
I talk to the dog
I became obsessed with everything being organized/clean. Even if theres a spoon and a cup in a big sink i cant cook or do activities without washing them.
I would wait to go grocery shopping until my fridge was basically empty.
I shit fully naked with the door open. That’s freedom
Let’s see. After being married for 18 years and with grown children out of the house. I have adjusted pretty well. I leave the bathroom door open now. I leave my firearms unlocked. I eat in my room at my desk and also bought a 30 gallon trash can for my room.
My precious doggy has her own couch.
I drink week old tea with cinnamon because I don’t have no money to buy coffee. It doesn’t suck sometimes
Eating over the sink so I don’t have to wash a plate. Didn’t even feel weird until I said it out loud
Eating pasta straight out of the pot with a fork
I wear the same ‘inside shorts’ every day like they’re part of a sacred ritual
I search on Amazon for cheap little gifts, that have cool inspirational stuff on them. Stickers that say stuff like “im awesome”. Cards that say I’m the best. Stuff like that.
Then I set the delivery for the last available day they give as an option. Even though i know I’m getting them, it’s like a mini Christmas for me.
Sometimes when I don’t feel like cooking I just consume 2,000 calories of protein bars over the course of the day and wash it down with 4+ liters of sugar free orange soda.
Singing and dancing when cleaning. Dont live alone anymore, though. Kinda miss it.
Being happy.
I dance to music in the kitchen every night before bed. Headphones on, phone or broom as a mic or guitar and it’s muted concert time.
Almost no one knows, except some neighbours from across the street on the 3rd floor who give me the 🤘 gesture every now and then. It’s pretty wholesome
I speak in different accents and voices or create and act full on scenarios like “The wizzard who forgot to wash his dishes.”
