"Some people are very comfortable in their own company"
Exactly, I've lived alone for the past 8 years and know exactly where everything is, don't have to wrestle the TV Remote of anybody, and a pack of bog rolls will last me for months   |

I’ve lived alone since 2013. I am happy with the freedom it offers but it is a pain on here as being a single male over 50 seems to reduce chances of connecting. Would be happy to find a single lady to have NSA arrangement to include club visits without is moving in. Open to offers!!  |

So far in my life I’ve lived with my parents, flat mates, my ex, and myself. Out of them I far prefer being on my Tod. I enjoy my own company, and the freedom and peace that living alone brings. I guess it depends on your personality though. |

I love living on my own 
The way the world is at the moment I feel lonely - but I still wouldn't want anyone in MY space.
I was 44yrs old before I lived alone for the first time.
It's amazing and I'll never live with anyone again.

Perfectly happy living on my own.
Company for meals out & travelling is nice, but it’s good to have your own space where you can get away from the chaos of the outside world. |

pre covid i loved it but yes for the last year its been a struggle because all the freedom of living alone, suiting yourself in terms of your professional, personal and social life has been stripped away and replaced instead with isolation |

"Sometimes boring sometimes solace"
I think sometimes we crave the opposite of what we have. I love being in full control of my own space , routine and time but also don’t like to be solitary too often |

I love living alone. Having someone in my space full time would drive me bonkers and me them too I expect.
Probably sounds quite selfish, but that’s just how I’m wired , I don’t require constant company and can even find it a bit overwhelming. |

I'm enjoying it.No hassle, No nagging, No stress either.Go out whenever I want and back peacefully.I'm at work most times ,so I've got music playlists and variety of drinks to suite my mood. I was thinking of getting a cat, but it might try to Rob my peace with too much meowing??,so yet to make a decision. |

Coming home to an empty house, not having to make polite conversation, can have a bath, not have a bath, run out of food and live on cornflakes for a day, nobody pestering for sex when I am not in the mood, total control of the remote control, no compromises, nobody telling me I shouldn't do this or shouldn't have said that......pure freedom of choice. |

Do you not think a soulmate holds you to account and makes you a better person? |

Friends who live in a separate house is the way to go |

I was married for a long time, I felt he was my soulmate. It ended very amicably, but I feel so much more an individual since I lived alone. |

I loved being married, for a long time it was the best thing that happened to me, it helped me grow. Unfortunately he did not grow. I am happier being in control of my life now. |

I think if you're lucky enough to have met your soul mate - then living with them feels right.
I've only lived with the wrong ones.
I'm embracing doing what I want.
It feels beautiful- I have always lived on eggshells in the past.
I still tiptoe around - afraid to make noise.
Then I remember I'm free

i find this incredibly reductionist thinking - why cant we hold ourselves accountable? why is that reserved for people who found their soulmate
and who says you even have to live with your soulmate |

I have lived alone, except for my daughter, since I left my husband 22 years ago. Nothing would ever induce me to co-habit with a man again.
I think it was Charles Dickens who said something about a visitor after 3 days being like fish that had gone off. |

We're all adults here. Why should we require someone to hold us to account when we're fully capable of doing that for ourselves? I'm not a project for someone else to improve. |

Lived on my own for 8 years, never been bored or lonely
However lockdown has been hard and I realised how much I miss popping to friends homes for a catch up.
Don't think i could live with someone, too set in my ways lol |

I can honestly say I'm never bored at home, though I can be extremely boring.
I bloody love my own space and couldn't share it now.
Covid has meant that I've felt lonely, but I'm missing someone in my bed and nights out with friends, not having someone constantly there in my space.
Having someone stay the night but go home the following day is the best of all worlds for me - they always get me groomed (Well, as groomed as I get), they always get fresh bedding and clean towels, a clean flat and me in an agreeable, welcoming mood, prepared to go to considerable lengths for their comfort.
They don't have to put up with me greasy haired and bleary eyed, or when I've got a cob on and I'm just being a cow for the sake of it. They never have to follow me into the loo after I've flushed a stinker, or listen to me whine after a bad day in work. |

I've been living alone for over 15 years and I think I get lonelier and a little sadder with each passing year.
Day in day out, things are fine but its things like valentine's, birthday, summer holidays, Autumn and Christmas that it kinda gets to me. At 45 I'm a bit fed up of being single but it is what it is.
This past year has made me laugh somewhat though listening to the struggles other people have had about not being able to do anything. Well that's been my life for quite a few years lol.
I do live a boring life and spend far too many hours at work  |

I split up with my wife about 2 years ago, although we carried on sharing the same house with separate bedrooms. For us this was an easy way to co-parent and as we had an amicable split, it worked for us.
I moved into my own house about 6 months ago and I love living alone. I don't have to live with anyone else's timetable (well, apart from one of my sons when he's here on alternate weeks.)
It's great.

I moved into my house right at the beginning of the nonsense and I haven't seen another human being except on zoom for 14 months. I love it! I'm the happiest and most content I have ever been. Just me, the cats, the woodland critters and the ghost of the trapper in the lake. |

Get a long haired syrian hamster! They don't make much noise, and can be easily tamed to sit on your lap and be stroked like a cat! |
