It allows my to scale back all the stress I have encountered over the years. Post divorce i look at my life and remember certain small moments that made a difference,
It’s certainly an adjustment, but like the commenters below, I appreciate the peace.
I will never take advantage of living with someone ever again. I can’t wait until my partner and I can live together. Id be so much better off socially and financially if I didn’t convince myself this was a good idea. And everything is terrifying alone when stuff goes wrong.
You do what you want, when you want. It can be pretty quiet, and lonely sometimes. If you’re sick or injured, you gotta take care of yourself. Same with cleaning, cooking, other chores and errands, it’s all you.
Pure bliss but you have to be careful not to isolate yourself too much. I’ve been living alone for 10years and the feeling you get coming home from work and it’s pure silence/peace never gets old.
Unconditional calm and peace, the only that needs to be tamed is your mind. Even bigger bliss if you’re financially independent, takes you out of 90% of the unwanted situations and/or people you may encounter!
Well its what you make of it. There will be day where you’ll come home and you’ll feel completly alone. But its your decision if you call that loneliness or peace
I don’t live alone but am left alone for long periods of time quite frequently.
Doctor wanted me to start monitoring my blood pressure at home because it was consistently coming up a bit elevated. About a week after this started, my roommate left for a couple of weeks. The very first night, my BP came in completely normal. I took multiple readings to confirm and my readings all stayed perfect the entire time they were gone.
I’d rather live alone and bear 100% of the responsibilities rather than agree to share them, and then still be stuck with 100% of the responsibilities and be disappointed and stressed about it daily.
Whenever you think it’s too hard to cope with, you dream someone invading your life and not caring your wants and needs, you give up thinking negatively and enjoy.
Peaceful knowing that no matter what the day throws at you, you get to go home at the end of the day shut the door behind you, turn your phone off and answer to no one. House stays clean when you clean it, food never randomly disappears from your fridge or cupboards, and you get to decorate the place exactly how you like.
I bought a movie projector recently so turned my bedroom into a mini cinema room for watching movies in the evening. I love it.
The best. Everything where you left it. Keep your own hours. My leftovers were mine. Listen to what music I wanted any time of day or night. No audience for my bad days. Decorate exactly how you want. No one accidentally waking you up. You can really discover yourself. But also, anything that needs to get done, you need to do it. No one is coming to save you. Socializing has to be a conscious choice to avoid isolation. I eventually got into a great relationship and love living with my partner but I cherish those years and think everyone should live alone for a while if they can.
When I first moved out on my own, I sat on the couch naked and just seeing my cock out while drinking a brew and watching the game was weird. I went and put on boxers and that’s the most naked I’ll get lol
It has its ups and downs. The freedom to whatever the hell you want anytime you want VS having to do everything by yourself. I lived alone for 3 years and it had it’s bad moments like when the chimney caught on fire or the bathroom flooded or when I slipped on a pool of water in the kitchen and fell HARD on my back, my head narrowly missing the edge of a metal table. But then the flipside waking up at 3am to play videogames and listen to nine inch nails really loud if I wanted to. Yes, there was dancing around naked.
I don’t live alone anymore but I enjoyed it when I did. It was a good experience but ultimately not something I would personally want forever.
I used to live alone. Sometimes, I would get lonely. An elderly man died in my building, and his body was discovered a week later after a horrible smell and flies were coming from his window. My neighbours now check up on each other if a neighbour hasn’t gone outside.
I liked that I didn’t have somebody else’s mess to clean up.
It was freeing to be able to exercise in my underwear while watching TV.
I didn’t have to close doors inside my place.
I liked that I could put my stuff anywhere, and it would still be there when I needed it.
A few times, I injured myself really badly. I cried because I needed help and I couldn’t get to my phone.
When I first moved in, I was paranoid someone might break in while I’m asleep. So I put a hammer under my pillow and a knife under my mattress.
I did love living alone for 3 diff stints for total of about 6 of my 58yrs. It was nice and i def enjoyed it more in my older stint as i had more money to do better and cooler hobbies. The issue tho is we’re den animals. People need people. I’ve observed that ppl who live too long solo, become weird as they are left to their own devices. Not all but seen it play out. They just don’t have someone who says,’you sure about that?’…to questionable habits. idk. Just $0.02
I like not having to socialize unless I feel like it and being able to choose all the paint colors, furnishings, etc but I live in a big apartment building and actually enjoy hearing other people going about their lives, moving around, even making noise sometimes. It’s nice to have people around and not have to interact with them. For the same reason I also enjoy working on my laptop in cafés.
for me I lost my wife of 30 years to cancer in November of 2024.
living alone is awful. the silence is deafening. cooking for one is the worst. most days I eat cereal or a sandwich.
I got to live on my own once when I was studying at uni (had a student studio room with my own bathroom and shower). For me it was…
AMAZING.
I could study my uni topic, go to lectures, learn guitar, a new language, make YouTube videos, workout daily, livestream games and still have enough time left over to socialise or do whatever I wanted. The place was also always clean and organised.
Made me realise how much living with others and not being captain of the household holds me back in many ways. I’m so time poor living with others having to tidy up after them all the time and doing other tasks for them when they need help. Living on my own it’s like my whole life opened up in an amazing way and I realised how capable I am if I have the opportunity to be.
That’s not to say that living with others can’t be better than living alone, it totally can be as sharing tasks between yourself and others should technically enable you all to have more free time, I’ve just never had it pan out that way personally. I could imagine that if I were in a house with like minded people when it comes to load sharing tasks in the household then it’d be even better than living alone.
But yeah, I like living alone as it’s better than any alternative I’ve come across so far. my dream is to have my own place one day.
It has its pros and cons. Biggest advantage is, that you can do whatever the f you want. no one is going to tell you to do the dishes or clean your room. It gives you the freedom to express yourself more and do your own thing.
The very same thing can become a burden though. If you want stuff to be done, you have to do it yourself or have to pay for it. Also its more expensive compared to sharing your appartment with family or friends. Not only because you can split utility and rent, but also you can plan your groceries together. If you live alone, you are forced to eat the same dish multiple days or freeze that stuff because the size of grocery items.
personally, i am happy to live alone, but I won’t pretend it doesn’t have downsides
Bliss. I think I have finally reached perfection. I can enjoy reading and gaming in peace, good music… That is all I ever wanted from life so I feel like I have been blessed.
I have never personally done so but I know a lot of my friends found it lonely I’m alone without my partner sometime for 5 days and injured so not working or going out much now I find myself a bit lonely and isolated sometimes but it’s nice I think it’s important to have a balance between being alone and with others even socially if you don’t live with anyone
Fun because you can do pretty much anything you want. There’s no one to comment on what you’re doing or where you’re going. Want to play videogames until 3am? No problem.
Boring because you have no one share your life with upon coming home.
Pros and cons basically. Some will love it, others won’t.
I loved it, I lived alone from early 2008 to mid 2022. Having the freedom to just do whatever and whenever was lovely. Despite being in relationships during some of that time, we never lived together.
I do live with my husband now, which I adore, but I do sometimes miss being alone lol
It’s quiet, peaceful and my place always stays clean. I absolutely love it. I can do what I want when I want and if I want to go to bed early I can. In answer to nobody. Wouldn’t change it for anything.

good for sex
Being able to walk around naked all day is a plus.
It seems to be cool at the beginning, but trust me it will be hill someday and it won’t be cool again
Great! You are free to do whatever you want to do: sleep, cook, watch tv, etc.
It’s called peace, coming back to things the way they you kept them, having enough privacy, no dramas, walking around naked and being FREE!
Bliss!
Well I’ve got the work I love so it’s really good time for me, and like to be alone.
so much peace
Great
After dealing with a drunk idiot roommate for 2 years, it’s absolutely amazing!!
I love it. Can do what I want, when I want.
It allows my to scale back all the stress I have encountered over the years. Post divorce i look at my life and remember certain small moments that made a difference,
It’s certainly an adjustment, but like the commenters below, I appreciate the peace.
I loved it.
Three years later, I hate it.
I actually want to die. (:
I will never take advantage of living with someone ever again. I can’t wait until my partner and I can live together. Id be so much better off socially and financially if I didn’t convince myself this was a good idea. And everything is terrifying alone when stuff goes wrong.
Getting girls to room as soon you get them without any problem 😀
Mostly peaceful, free, pleasant. But sometimes lonely, boring, sad
Boring
Peace but sometimes your mind plays tricks on you after living with people for 17 years
It’s alright.
You do what you want, when you want. It can be pretty quiet, and lonely sometimes. If you’re sick or injured, you gotta take care of yourself. Same with cleaning, cooking, other chores and errands, it’s all you.
Not the best way to live, not the worst either.
Living alone with other people is the best!
Peaceful
It’s nice
Freedom
Addictive
Pure bliss but you have to be careful not to isolate yourself too much. I’ve been living alone for 10years and the feeling you get coming home from work and it’s pure silence/peace never gets old.
You’ll realise that you haven’t spoken for hours so you move your jaw.
Unconditional calm and peace, the only that needs to be tamed is your mind. Even bigger bliss if you’re financially independent, takes you out of 90% of the unwanted situations and/or people you may encounter!
For me it was wonderful.
Well its what you make of it. There will be day where you’ll come home and you’ll feel completly alone. But its your decision if you call that loneliness or peace
It’s so good. Living with a roommate is something I will never do in my life again
I wouldn’t want to ever . It would be so lonely and depressing
nice, im starting to glorify those days
I’m divorced three times; so I decided to live alone almost 20 years ago. And they have been my best years.
Many of my happiest years were spent with a place to myself. I used my free time as I wanted to.
I don’t live alone but am left alone for long periods of time quite frequently.
Doctor wanted me to start monitoring my blood pressure at home because it was consistently coming up a bit elevated. About a week after this started, my roommate left for a couple of weeks.

I would have loved to have tried it. I’ve never lived alone. I imagine it to be bliss 😂
Free and naked
Whenever you think it’s too hard to cope with, you dream someone invading your life and not caring your wants and needs, you give up thinking negatively and enjoy.
Peaceful. You can do anything you want, and anytime.

I bought a movie projector recently so turned my bedroom into a mini cinema room for watching movies in the evening. I love it.
Freeing.
You know food will still be there. You can walk around naked whenever you want. Not have to wait for someone who’s in the toilet or shower.

quite peaceful, focused
An addictive drug! Once you get it its really hard to leave it.
Amazing minus my upstairs neighbor who bangs on the floors, I keep record of them though
Heavenly
Brilliant I live with my partner but we are both pretty independent people so we don’t really get on each others nerves.
Oh my god the quiet – good old days 😂
Heaven ❤️
So many people saying that they can be naked lol.
When I first moved out on my own, I sat on the couch naked and just seeing my cock out while drinking a brew and watching the game was weird. I went and put on boxers and that’s the most naked I’ll get lol
Freedom and PEACE
Like a free pizza at the right temp to not burn your mouth and it’s all yours. Or a fuzzy box of puppies! Just happiness!

Currently living alone. Not good.
Pros:
Peaceful, nobody touches your shit, as many have mentioned you can be butt-naked.
Cons:
Can be lonely, chores can be a slag

Bliss.

y’all…
How many of you who are married are NOT letting your spouse see you naked except for sex?
That’s so weird to me. My spouse and I see each other naked constantly. It’s not a big deal.
Freaking fabulous.
Bliss. I think I have finally reached perfection. I can enjoy reading and gaming in peace, good music… That is all I ever wanted from life so I feel like I have been blessed.
more responsibility and at the same time less responsibility in different moments. complete freedom, only you manage your personal space
Coming home to peace and quiet will never get old.
Either you gonna build yourself way different than you are right now or you gonna destroy yourself completely.
I love it! I can engage with people on my own terms. I easily overwhelmed and stimulated by too many
people. I need time alone to recharge.
U start talking to yourself, hallucinating then you just die
I have never personally done so but I know a lot of my friends found it lonely I’m alone without my partner sometime for 5 days and injured so not working or going out much now I find myself a bit lonely and isolated sometimes but it’s nice I think it’s important to have a balance between being alone and with others even socially if you don’t live with anyone
Better than with him 🫶
Your food in the fridge doesn’t magically disappear
It’s blissful
Fun and boring at the same time.

It’s not too bad

Awesome
I prefer having roommates. Cause otherwise it keeps me in the comfort zone 24/7.
Has its ups and downs for sure. Great for a while but get lonely 🙁. Then around people you get annoyed lol. It’s a no win.
You don’t truly appreciate the peace and complete freedom to do whatever you want unless you’ve had to live with other people. I love living alone.
