Best and worst part of living on your own?
Jump to: Newest in thread
For those that live on their own what do you find are the pros and cons?
I've lived by myself for several years and for me the biggest downside is not having anyone to cook for. I love cooking but it's just not the same doing it for yourself |

Best: Freedom to come and go when I please, if I don't feel like cleaning it's just me it hampers and no one else.
Worst: no one to talk to at the end of the day, no closeness etc. I can go home from work and not speak a single sentence till its time to go to work the next morning |

Best: can cook what I want, sprawl in bed, tv choice is all mine.
Worst: loneliness, no cuddles, no kisses, no one to care for me when I'm feeling crappy or down. It actuallu hurts sometimes but I've learnt to just accept it. |

I love cooking also. Its my way of caring for people. Be nice to cook for someone, they appreciate it and we chat over empty dirty plates. |

I live with my son and my daughter lives half with me so not completely alone but assuming meaning not with a partner
Best - peace and quiet, watch whatever want on the telly, not getting nagged for work pants left on dining room table ect
Worst - some nights the company would be nice, also coming home after a long hard shitty day at work especially in winter nice to have someone to come home too, getting a Chinese and watching a film much better with somebody else |

Yeah absolutely. I agree with the others that people have said like chores, bills etc but it's the cooking one that really gets me. Seeing someone enjoying a meal you've enjoyed making is such a great feeling.
I don't get that same satisfaction cooking a meal from scratch when it's for myself |

Honestly? After many years of husband (ex) raising a family, partners (ex) there is no downside to now living alone.
I’m happy in my own company. Always pleased to welcome family and friends but I love the freedom to do as I please. |

Best a place to hide from the real world and switch off and be me !
Worst nobody to hide with sometimes and kissing I miss kissing
I actually just think if I had a dog my life would be pretty much complete and I don’t need anyone else
But then I remember why I’m on here   |

I haven't lived in my own for more than a few months in 35 years.
I do have the odd hotel night away for swingers club visits and hookups and the best bit for me in being able to do things to my own schedule rather than negotiating between housemates, pets and kids.
And the sex. That's a great bonus.
The worst is loneliness. When I was living alone back in the mists of time, having to come home to nobody, getting into bed on my own, that was tough.
I need the companionship of having people around me. I've lived like this for too long and the prospect of being alone now is crushing. |

Best: everything being exactly as I want it and not having to compromise with a partner who wants to put something dreadful on a wall.
The worst: inevitably in 50 years or so, the neighbours will comment that they've not seen me for a while and that the milk is building up on my doorstep.  |

Best - everything.
Worst - nothing. I enjoy my own company and I like the remoteness and seclusion of where I live.
I bake cakes for the ladies at work, and am always chatting with friends on WhatsApp, so never feel alone. |

"I live alone it's ok at times but 24/7 it gets too much,loneliness is a big thing now one doctor said it's like smoking 20 fags a day not good for ones well being "
Yeah few really know what 24 hours 24/7 feels like most have 9-15 hours or 3-5 days a week and call that "Alone". |

Perhaps different for me. Now a widower . But was single for over twenty years before that. Although was working away most of that. Yes have to do all jobs . Not that bothered doing.
I think my biggest downside yes being alone as retired now. Especially winter times. Dark about 1630 to 0800. People indoors as cold weather. Even if out. Unless in somewhere warm or out wind , rain. May chat . But not have time. |

Best: The freedom to spend your time, money and mental energy however you want, without having to compromise or worry you might hurt someone else's feelings... Also, no-one moans if you just want to stay in bed all morning, masturbating. 😂
Worst : The bloody cost of everything!.. And the lack of someone to talk to about your hopes or fears. The single life can lead to lying awake at night, overthinking all your problems.  |

Worst: No one to talk to when you have a a dilema or a problem. I do have close, really good friends - but it's not the same... A nice female bottom you can rub like Mr Miyagi. A hug from behind, a kiss on the neck. A kiss or a cuddle even?
Best: Me making a choice my way & on my own. No one to argue with (so less stress!)   |

I like to:
Phone my friend who has 3 kids and lives in bedlam and ask him if he can hear the noise at my end. When he says no, tell him neither can I and isn't it nice and how I'm just about to have a nap on the sofa.
Send my other friends with kids photos of my chocolate tin and tell them that ALL of the contents will still be there when I get home from work.
In fairness, I do point out that in their older years, when they have a fall, at least one of their kids will probably be around to pick them back up, whereas I'll just be found by a cleaning crew. |

There are so many elderly people in care or who live alone and rarely see their kids that it’s not as much of a plus as it sounds 😂 |

Been retired nearly 7 years now, like my music, reading, football on TV, cooking for one is worst, I go to pub meet brother fortnightly, meet mate for few beers once a week, watch Chelsea on sky with neighbour.
I miss someone in my life for holidays away, go alone but not the same, no foreign holiday for 25years, Sussex now or isle of wight, be nice to have a regular friend to wank with, or have good snog, I do x dress for my pleasure, as it turns me on in stockings and suspenders, nervous meeting at my flat, as trust big issue, like a man to touch me and wank me, now 71, love to be seduced sometime or ride a nice cock, not sure if I'm confident enough though

Ps sorry for going on so long |

Best: the peace. I can't imagine ever living with someone again.
Worst: the fear that if I do something stupid and cause myself a terrible injury (not a completely unthinkable scenario; I'm a dozy uncoordinated mare), nobody would know to fetch help. |
