Hi
I'm living alone for the first time. Feel lonely at times. Invited friends family over but so far had no visitors. Trying to be positive and see the overall benefits.
A jar of coffee will last a month
4 loo rolls will last forever
No one will eat my chocolate hob nobs
Do you live alone ? Benefits ?
Or if you don't do you wish you did ? |

No snoring.
Being able to listen to proper music and dad-dance without the sniggers.
Not having to get dressed all day.
Managing a whole week before needing to do any washing up.
I can but dream...
Mr ddc
Ps OP: love your status about going to the pub for a roast, wish our local was so accommodating....

I have lived alone, and after the initial lonleyness I realised that
The house was as clean and tidy when I got back from work as it was when I left,
The freezer is best friend to your bank balance
Dancing naked around the house is liberating
You answer to no one  |

Yes I do
Some of the benefits are that I don't have anyone to tell me that stuff doesn't match, I can laze about when I want or have what I would like for tea
A bed to yourself is also great at times, but it's also better to share that at times  |

Solitude is good in small doses. We are sociable creatures, at our best when interacting with others. Sharing experiences, talking, learning, laughing, crying.
Too much solitude can be torture, soul destroying and quite simply, one of the most sad things we can experience. |

Having lived alone since1999 I can confirm the above. I have never felt lonely but value the freedom it provides! |

I live on my own too. Family and friends haven't visited, although I have no furniture so I don't blame them really lol.
I like that I can just walk around naked all the time. Nobody else's mess to clean up. I can sing and nobody cares.
Most of the bad points can be fixed.. Loneliness - go out.
Empty bed - you're on here, I'm sure you can find someone to fill the gap  |

you can do what you want
strip the engine in the kitchen
take up all the bed and spread yourself out
go out never be questioned where your going or get asked to bring something back
invite company to house for little house warmer or chat
have a ladys/gents night in and have a drink
do I want all this hell no as I hate it
oh and im sharing your chocolate hobnobs and coffee
"Im lonely at times and i live with my 3 sons. However I never ever get the house to myself. I'd love to know what it's like even just for a weekend "
if you had a couple of days of peace and quiet you would hate it as you would miss the noise of the house

I love being able to hog the bathroom for as long as i want to without anyone knocking on the door.
coming home to the house as tidy as when you left it.
Singing and dancing as loudly and wildly as you want.

I've lived alone, on and off, for a few years. I loved it. I'm with people all day and the chance to switch off once I'm home was lovely so much so, I didn't even like people calling round. I've always got things to do so was rarely bored.
OP, I'm sure you'll find your own rhythm once you adjust. |

I've lived alone for three years now since bring divorced. I can honestly say these have been the best days of my life (except for my children of course). I relish my independence and enjoy quiet times. I get out more, laugh more and suit myself what I do and with whom. My naughty life here fills another need quite nicely. Best of all, the doofer is mine all mine!! |

It's just me and mini me, most of the time, tho currently have my brother living with me. Altho evenings get lonely, my brother has reminded me why I'm better off living alone, even tho he's really well house trained and helps out. |

I've lived on my own now for 2 years and had done for years when i was younger. I'm quite an independant person so i do enjoy it. No one to answer to, can come and go when i please, don't have to clean up after anyone, can eat what i like, when i like. The list is endless! |

Really wished I lived alone. I could watch MY programs, listen to MY music, carry out the meets I have lined up, (well ok, one!), go out when I like, come home when I like. And I'd be a damn sight better off! |

"I live with my teenage son but it wouldn't worry me living on my own.
I love my own company & can get very moody if I don't get time on my own."
Me too. Im a only child so when friends went home, was just me and my parents, so I got used to it. Would like some alone time just now and again |

I prefer living alone. I get lonely occasionally but not enough to want to share my space. I'm not sure I will ever want to live with anyone else again.
I've lived with two long-term partners, (at different times!), and in several house and flat shares and I've concluded I prefer living alone. |

I have lived alone for two years. I get lonely. I have a full on job and no social life...hence fab. I crave company at times but I do relish my independence and being able to make decisions without deferring to anyone. Currently I have a lodger. It has been nice having company but I will not miss him when he goes. |

8 years and counting,
I have only ever lived with my family members in the past,
It can get a little boring at times and it's one of the reasons for spending time on the forums, , It would take a lot of effort and time to live with someone else |

I've gradually learnt more DIY and I've got a good plumber too. Plus he's bloody gorgeous. You might find your friends have unexpected DIY skills too.
I think you'll get used to living on your own and end up liking it. Why not organise a small house warming? Just order a take away and ask everyone to bring a bottle.
I moved out of home and lived on my own in my early 20's and loved it. Really enjoyed the freedom. I'm fairly often on my own now and I do like my own company. I get a bit stir crazy if there are people around all the time. If you can enjoy your own company - it always seems a positive thing to me.

I've lived on my own for almost two and a half years now. Most of the time, I love it! I only have myself to answer to and myself to clean up after, no other people's drama to deal with. I lived in shared houses before and I hated it, living with other people fired up my anxiety.
However... Sometimes I do get desperately, painfully lonely - related to mental health issues - but there's always someone on the other end of the phone. Most of all, though, my own space and peace is worth any of the negatives |

I love living alone.
There are hundreds of benefits. I have my place how I want it. I don't consult anyone about anything. I do what I want, when I want and I answer to no-one but me. I have my bed to myself, I choose what I want to eat, I don't have to do someone else's laundry, I have company when I want it, I do the dishes when I feel the urge, I slob around in my pjs whenever I please, I do my housework naked, I clean when I feel like it, I go out when I want to, I stay out all night if the fancy takes me, I holiday alone and suit myself and all of my free time is my own.
I love my life.

I have never lived alone even when I had my own place I couldn't be on my own I had somebody there all the time.
I become a complete mess when I'm alone for any period of time. |

You can bum round with just your undies on any time you want to.
Make sure curtains are shut though, i was dancing in the kitchen in my panties and realised the curtains were open, and it's a minor road outside my house.

Another good point is you can poop in private and have no fella follow you to the toilet or have him going to the bog while you shower. After 4 kids this is a bug bear for me. |

Well, one minute you're having a shower and your fella comes in and starts chatting, which is fine. Next minute you open your eyes and you notice he's sat on the bog...and that only means one thing.  |

I live on my own
Had a lodger once who annoyed me very quickly by leaving things everywhere. Especially with empty food containers next to the bin but not in it.
I love not having anyone around so I can do what I want,whether that's choosing what's on TV, lounging about not wearing much or playing music without needing to keep the volume down. |

It's great for me as I can saunter about at any time, no disturbance to or from anybody.
And no ones in my way. I like my own company and when friends are over, there's no lack of space or restrictions.
I've lived with others but I largely prefer having all of my space for me me me. |
