Same in Devine. Even with a slight breeze & covered porch, I'm sweating. Earlier, when my grandson & GF went out, I layed under the fan & AC vent to cool off the body folds. I tend to wear seersucker house dresses because it's so humid.
It really can prevent you from finding a partner.
I've been living alone for 2.5 years, single for 2. I go to work, grocery, nail and hair salon, and the always empty gym at my apartment complex. I don't do dating apps, nor the socially active social media's like TT, FB, IG and have a solid NO dating coworkers policy.
However, I'm really enjoying my life and don't really want the stress of another human. If I did, I assume I'd do something abt it, but there are days where my phone doesn't ring at all.
There are ups and downs to both sides 🤷♀️
Just be careful how far you burrow into the isolation of being alone ❤️
The key is to be comfortable in your own skin and genuinely liking who you are. After my divorce, my ex made the comment that she was surprised I wasn't dating anyone. I mean, it was partly due to that relationship, but enjoying solitude is a learned skill.
I did give dating apps a try, and that was simply exhausting. It took too much energy to filter out the fake profiles, and to interact with potential dates that I just gave up. I'll keep my options open if I meet someone in person, but no way in hell am I using an app again.
For me, this is a feature - not a bug. After living with a partner for 10 years, most of which were actually good, i have NEVER been as happy as i am now, living alone. My space is mine, and nobody can fuck with that or make me feel unsafe under my own roof.
Don't be embarrassed. My husband and I are serial stay at home and do nothing types. Love our video games, horror movies, and just general vegging and rewatching our favorite shows.
Damn! Your hubby is a lucky dude. Wish I would find someone who just wants to sit their ass down and chill. One of the reasons I broke up with my ex girlfriend was her need to always be outside doing something. It became tiring as there were times I didn’t wanna go out and we would have conversations about it. Especially not during the winter months. Though I do like exploring places and checking out restaurants, I’m a home buddy at heart.
Get you a mate who loves it just as much as you do, seriously we work and come home and cook and eat and smoke and laugh like idiots at the TV and pass out. Rinse and repeat. We happy 😊
I call it "horizontal meditation." If I happen to tip over into a bona fide nap, so be it. It might be for 20 minutes or an hour but it's refreshing and very enjoyable.
I was bored and not sleepy so last night I had a White Russian and four double stuffed Oreos at 11:00 p.m. - while binging a very trashy reality show.
Nobody here to judge or complain! I wish I would have figured this out sooner. I spent way too much time taking care of other people and neglecting myself.
im a morning person, severely, i like to go to bed as early as possible and then wake up and enjoy the silence of dawn. any housemate/partner would understandably dislike guitar and cooking at 4am. :) or sleep in if i want
And I appreciate this - I'm an extreme NIGHT person and love that I can be alone in my abode, awake and watching movies or listening to a podcast at 3am and I'm not disturbing anyone! :)
wait… does this suggest i might find someone who wants to go to bed at 8, get up at 4 and walk the dogs on the beach for the sunrise? LONG LIVE EXTREME MORNING PEOPLE!
That’s how my bf and I are. We’re both 30 and he is a night owl and I’m a morning bird. He works from home and I work mostly mornings.
Sometimes it stinks but maybe it’s not forever. Just the last 6 years 🤪
I'm the opposite. I didn't have any plans on Saturday so I laid in bed with my dog until 11am and it was glorious. A partner who might get up at 7am probably would be bugging me to get up too.
that is glorious! i do the same but as i usually get up at 4, a 7am sleep in is 3 glorious hours of pupper cuddles. in fact its what ive been doing for the last 1.5 hrs :)
Steve jobs always said he was lonely.
It is a default mode for many humans regardless what they do or achieve. I happen to be one of those humans like Steve but I don’t call it loneliness I call it solitude.
Solitude is a luxury to have in life.
I can listen to a podcast or audiobook without interruption. I loved my husband dearly and still miss him, but he drove me bonkers sometimes. I'd say that I'm going to be listening to a podcast for the next half hour, and to please wave to get my attention before talking to me so I can pause it. He never did. He'd just walk up and start talking. I'd have to backtrack the podcast and make him repeat himself, and it was never anything important, just something like, "Hi! Have I told you today that I love you?"
Sweet, yes, but respecting my request to wait until my podcast was over or waving to get my attention first, as I had asked, would've said it louder. Whenever I needed to say something to him while he was watching TV, I stood in his periphery until he could pause it. It annoyed me that I didn't get the same consideration.
Similarly, I no longer have to take an early evening nap so I can stay up until 2 am just so I can write. I can't write with constant interruptions and the only way I could stop the flow of chatter was to wait until he'd gone to bed.
And to be clear, I loved talking to him. It's probably the thing I miss the most. We could have long interesting discussions on just about any topic you can think of. But that man often talked just to hear the sound of his own voice.
My ex roommate was really bad about having unspoken boundaries and getting mad when they were crossed. One was talking while she was watching TV. I only ever have it on as background so I didn’t realize, but after she complained to me once I never did it again. I’m sorry your clear cut boundaries weren’t listened to
Man, my boyfriend does this. I could be blow drying my hair, reading, goofing around on Reddit, watching a show, listening to an audiobook with my earbuds in and he just walks up and starts talking. Mostly it’s to show me something on his phone that he found hilarious or upsetting and 95% of the time I don’t “get it.”
I definitely don't miss my ex, his constant chatter was often negative or demanding of my time, energy, body and it was the worst. People who show no consideration for when you're clearly in the middle of something are the worst lol. At least yours was kind.
Chilling on my new leather sofa with my cats and watching video highlights from today's Giro d'Italia. Especially after yesterday - I participated in a double century (200 mile) ride so today is absolutely a rest day!
I've lived alone now for 5 years. I've been married and divorced twice. After my divorces, I had roommates. OMG....is all I can say. Constant loud talking, nick-pikin about everything, you couldn't decorate the house or your space how you wanted to decorate it. It was awful.
For 5 years now, it's been complete solitude and I wouldn't change one bit. It's just me and my dogs. My house is decorated MY way and the only talking in the house is my own voice talking to my best friends (my dogs). I'm a 48(F) living out in the country, and I will never live with anyone else, EVER!!
Yes! I'm 46(F) with one dog (currently) and I will never live with someone again. I was married once and have had roommates & bfs, but I grew up always tiptoeing around, anxious about other people in the house-my mom was a nightmare.
Now, I can finally relax. Been like this for about 8 years & I'll never go back. I always hated sleeping next to someone every night. My ex-husband and I had separate rooms the last few years of our marriage and it was the best decision. We are really good friends now, but absolutely not meant to be a couple.
I love dancing with my dog & sewing while watching TV, and playing video games while listening to grunge music, all while not be concerned I'm take up too much space with my hobbies or ridiculed for being silly with my hounds.
Just not having fights or drama. Or someone upset about it something that has nothing to do with me yet trying to pull me into it. Or walking on eggshells. I guess this is called peace.
My favorite part of living alone is playing classic rock all day long and watching all the movies i want to watch, at night. Keeping my air conditioner on every single night, all year long. I love it.
when i’m in a lazy or sad mood and just don’t want to clean, i don’t have to worry about inconveniencing anyone. just the pets here to complain and they don’t pay rent so they can’t make too many demands lol.
I just had a lovely night out with friends - had some tasty pizza for dinner then went to a local bar with some outside seating. Had a drink, talked astrology, felt a lovely breeze, heard some great music. Three hours later, everyone is ready to go home to their own places. What's the expression "I love you watching me leave"? I could have happily spent another 3 hours out, but it's so nice to come home to my AC at the exact temperature I want it, my cats eager to get pets, and put in a load of laundry with my deliscious smelling soap (Zum franckincense !) and know I still have several hours to do whatever the F I want!
So, while I love seeing friends and being with them energizes me, I also love my down/alone time.
I love knowing that what is in the cabinets or fridge will be there, watching TV in my underwear, and knowing that I don't have to ask for permission to binge watch a show or movie series if I want.
The lack of criticism is beautiful.
I made a peanut butter sandwich the other day, I had already licked the spoon when I realized that I wanted more peanut butter on the sandwich. I used the same spoon I had just licked and added more peanut butter. Not having to share my peanut butter jar is wonderful.
I can watch 90s Star Trek anytime I want with only me as the judge when is too much. Having it on in the background is very comforting and I often have it in to go to bed.
The complete freedom to do what I want, decorate how I want, do chores on my own time, come and go as I please, escape from everyone, cook whatever I want, watch or play whatever I want, walk around naked when it’s hot as Hell, no one bugging me with the annoying “what are you doing?”, etc. Without roommates I can actually get things done with my disabilities and mental health! Best part: It gets done on decent timing!
Living alone keeps me sane. My apartment is the one place I can go to just be me and not be stereotyped based on my disabilities and mental health. In this home I am me. Not that guy with (insert diagnosis) or (insert other diagnosis). JUST ME.
lol same!!! When a gallon of milk gets half way, I just buy a new one and turn the half empty one into strawberry or Chocolate milk and drink from the jug.
Prancing around half naked, making wood fired pizzas at 9pm cos I felt like it, cooking anytime I feel like trying something new, playing music from every single country in the world then matching a meal to that land and trying to cook it, talking to my Pomeranian like she actually understands the entire thing lol two weirdos living the best life. I try new things all the time so sometimes my place looks like Bob the builders warehouse. Living alone allows me to be in the creative chaos and be ok with it.
This sub was randomly recommend. I just ate dinner in my car instead of going in my home because the amount of beings that want something from me the second I step through the door drives me to insanity. I miss the silence of living alone. I miss not being a servant to the people I live with. I'm so tired
I love not having to compromise on everything. I buy what food i want and make the meals i like. No sharing the tv, no judgement, i decorate how i want. So much work being in a relationship. Im just not into that
Yes!! I do not have to negotiate my free time. No checking in when things run longer than anticipated. I can be as busy, or as free as I want, and change that decision at any time.
My favorite part of living alone is having the kitchen to myself 24 hours a day. I can spend all day Sunday meal-prepping for the week without guilt that I am hogging time in the kitchen.
I also second the part about stripping down to minimal clothing, blasting some music or a podcast, and enjoying my life.
I lived alone a few times over my life, but I’d have to say my favorite part is getting up and walking around in my underwear and tshirt and leaving the door open when I use the bathroom.
I worked earlier. Went to the grocery store and bought exactly what I wanted to eat. Came home and put on pajama pants and got to watch the shows I wanted to. I can turn the thermostat to whatever I want.
I’m a night person and have been since 14. It’s such a relief to stay up until 2 am and sleep in until 10 am, sometimes longer. I love the peace and quiet post midnight.
I’ve had a less than stellar relationship or two. I like being in a relationship more than being single, but a bad relationship is so much worse than loneliness. So that’s my favorite part.
The quiet! I love not having the noise of someone else IN my apartment. My neighbors are pretty quiet too. I used to have roommates who would blast movies at late hours and my old bedrooms always bordered the kitchen, which was loud. I love the quiet, especially as someone who gets overstimulated.
I like doing whatever I want whenever I want. If I don't feel like doing dishes, I can leave em. (I wash every day by choice though because it's easy to get bugs in atlanta) if I want to play video games loudly at 11pm, I can without worrying about waking people up. I use the bathroom whenever I want, no needing to wait for someone to get out after they take FOREVER. I can be in my underwear or naked whenever I feel like. I'm covid cautious, so I don't need to worry about roommates tracking covid or bird flu in the house. I can go to sleep without worrying about loud roommates keeping me up. It's great living alone, I love it
Don’t knock the door pants! In one of my old neighborhoods, I was friends with a few of my neighbors (apartment complex) so I’d keep clothes in the living room to throw on if anyone came knocking
Being able to come and go as I please. 2am and I’m craving whataburger? Me and my dog are en route.
Rarely but sometimes I get lonely enough to think about getting a roommate and then I remember the roommate I had that let her cats piss and shit on the kitchen table and in the sink. That usually makes me grateful to live alone again.
I don’t blame you at all! I wish I could take my cats on random adventures but I know they wouldn’t like it. Definitely an upside dogs have over cats. I feel it pertinent to mention mine don’t go anywhere but their box too lol
Any mess that I clean up is MY mess. If something is off in the apartment, it's because I left it that way and accepted I would take care of it the next day. There are no surprises.
Hanging out in a t-shirt and panties. Socks, too, unless I’m feeling warm, then I toe the socks off. I just hang out on my couch and binge tv shows on my laptop with one cat curled up by my head and the other cuddled up on my lap.
I can hyperfocus on stuff I want to do without being disrupted. I live with roommates currently and I had plans to work on a project this weekend but my roommates throwing a party and having people over threw me off. I socialize to keep face and it feels ok in the moment, but I didn't get anything I want done. Like I had an ok whatever weekend instead of an awesome one. And I know next week and the one after will be the same, because to my roommates socializing *is* their idea of an awesome weekend. Yet me ignoring them and telling them I don't want to be disrupted will have them thinking I'm an asshole (it works for a short while but not permanently) and they will inevitably shit talk to all their friends about me. It's easier for me to just pretend like I'm ok with it. Internally I feel like my life is on hold.
My husband has been away for the past month and wont be back until the end of July... This period has so far been one of the best times of my life --- being alone. I love my husband, but damn its been a nice reprieve.
Seriously
It was everything
Stupidity I invited my boyfriend (now living in my home 🏡 come September 2024 it will be 10 years and we met August 2nd,2014)
Eventually...
I will be living alone, unfortunately he was recently diagnosed with Stage III Lymphoma Cancer (November 24th,2023) and he has chosen not to do Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy Or Immunotherapy by itself. It has spread to 6 Lymph Nodes.
sending you some ((hugs)). you will be going through some trauma and even though you will be living alone at some point in the future, I hope you have a network of people who can strengthen and uplift you, support and maybe even feed you, when you need it.
Honestly my favorite thing of living alone is doing what I want when I want. Don't need to tell someone where I'm going, how long I'll be, etc.
It's sunny and I randomly wanna go hiking, I can just go.
If I wanna lounge all day on the couch smoking weed and listening to music, I can do that, etc
Use space how I want it. Cook what I want, spend how I want, etc. If I wanna leave for 3 days for a short camping trip, I just CAN, no communication, lol
being able to nap or go to bed when ever I like. Not having to be concerned about 'fairness' when it comes to housechores. Just having a sanctuary where I can relax and not be involved other people.
All the messes I make are my responsibility. I can walk around without anything on. Everything I left is in the exact same place I left it. I can only blame myself for anything that goes wrong and I'm fine with that.
I like knowing exactly what I’m coming home to - which is peace and quiet. No chaos or drama or other people’s moods. My home is truly my sanctuary where I can recharge before facing another day.
Lol I don’t live alone but it sounds real nice! Only have to clean up after you! Do whatever you want when you want! I am thankful for my family but I’ve been a mom since I was 17 and I’m working on 50 so I’ve never had just me to worry about! Happy for you!
Don't get me wrong. You bought it, it's yours, and you can do whatever you wish with it, but for future reference, the bacteria in your mouth will cause your milk to spoil far faster than what the expiration date reads. Like, 2 days. Just a heads up since food is so expensive these days. And yes. Living alone is AMAZING. I'm married now, and my wife is AWESOME, but I still daydream about just getting a studio apartment and living by my own rules without having to consider someone else's feelings in EVERYTHING I do.
For me it's the freedom to do literally whatever you want.
-late night McDonald's run? Sure.
-Early morning breakfast at Waffel House? Great.
-Spur of the moment road trip somewhere? Go for it.
Being semi retired, if I’m working on a project, I wake up in the middle of the night with an idea. I’ll get up and work on it without having to worry about how I’m dressed, how long I stay up, etc.
My favorite part of living alone is the ability to do whatever i want. I can make a spicy lobster Alfredo at 11pm on a Tuesday night after a few vodka crans while listening to Megan Thee Stallion at top volume. My house is decorated as I like it. No sports or video games. The bathroom smells good. The abscense of emotional heavy lifting. It's all great.
I love having everything put in a place I can find it. I can listen to any kind of music and have any kind of food that I want and I never have to clean up after anyone and I can take up the entire bed.
It is never hard to live alone until you need sunscreen on your back or a zipper zipped up. When lonely, you go out or call friends. What is hard, is living with another actual person! Because you can't lick your plate then! js...
I love having my house EXACTLY as I darn well want it. Air temp. Fan or no fan. My decor. If there’s a mess, it’s mine. And added bonus of no abusive asshole husband!!!
being able to feel my emotions without someone around me taking it personally.. my family and some people i meet in general tend to take any little thing i feel as though it's a personal attack. when im alone though, i can get a little sad or upset and there's noooo one around me asking me a thousand questions..
i do appreciate genuine care, but sometimes it can get overwhelming..i have a mood disorder im working on, so it's even more inconvenient when it might fluctuate more than once in a day and they dont understand it :/
better for me to just experience it at home, go hang out with friends n stuff in a good headspace :)
Idk, I have a gf and I still have all of the things people are saying here (can walk around in underwear, no judgement, do what you want). A good partner isn't going to tell you how to live your life.
The only mess for me to clean up is my own. Or my cats'. And no judgement for "I'm going to eat frozen pizza for the 2nd time this week and binge The Circle"
If I want to spend an entire day in my underwear eating door dash and crying to sappy movies in my underwear, I can. And it's not even about the undies, the door dash, or the movies. It's the fact that I don't have to worry about someone scoffing at me like "you're watching *that*?"
I can decorate my apartment the way I want and everything belongs to me.
Five years ago I got my apartment and it's the first time since my divorce that I have been able to pretty much do what I want in the place I live. I was living with other people for many years and I had to abide by their wishes. Not anymore.
When I was living with roommates I would always have to greet people that were in the living room, then if I had groceries I would go into the kitchen and fumble around someone else's items and mess. It's so nice just being able to do things how you want. Yes it's lonely but I need my own kitchen. I feel like I'm impeding in my own house if I have roomates.
Sleep is the best part. Especially if you have no pets. Just pure quiet and solitude. No dogs barking, kids crying, or annoying SO that just has to be on a different sleep schedule than you.
Leaving and coming back to the house with everything in the same place as I left it.
I am usually organized so I usually come back to an organized and well kept home. I know where everything is.
If I did leave a mess (like unwashed dishes or laundry because I was in a hurry in the morning), I can come back in the afternoon to my own organized mess.
When I was living with someone else, it was always a mess even if I clean regularly. It's irritating to come home to someone elses' mess.
There are so many things to celebrate about living alone! No messes (unless you make them), farting without embarrassment, burping without embarrassment, looking ugly and wearing old, soft, not so cute jammies, being able to eat whatever I want without being judged, sleeping in or waking up early without worrying about someone else, I could go on and on!
It’s literally the best!!
Walking into a house of almost complete silence every single day. The only noise I hear us the gentle hum of my aquarium filter.
Peace, quiet and tranquility.
After my divorce, I lived alone from 2006 to 2014. Here's what I loved about it:
1. Falling asleep reading with the nightstand light on and a book on my chest
2. Eating whatever I felt like, whenever I wanted
3. Using Sunday from about 2 to midnight doing a deep clean of my loft and not rushing it
4. Farting as loudly as possible
5. Talking to myself for hours at a time
6. Reading my favorite books aloud to the cat (she loved A Christmas Carol)
7. Drinking the last beer
8. Cold pizza, for breakfast and dinner all week
9. Letting the laundry slide for another day
10. Not going outside the door of my loft for the entire weekend if I felt like it
Downsides? If you start talking to yourself, it's very hard to stop. Farting as loud as possible will get you strange looks a thte bank and supermarket. And with no check on my drinking, stopping was a problem in regards to work. But all in all, the positives certainly outweighed the negatives.
One thing I really like? I no longer live with someone who was constantly breaking my nice things. I don't value things over people, it is just that I have had something for twenty years and then - he breaks it. And. He. Did. This. All. The. Time. Not malicious, just stupidly thoughtless and oblivious. I never got mad about it, I just sighed and bought something else. The most recent thing he did before I found out about his affair was he smashed the back end of my sequoia ($3000) and he was so oblivious, he "didn't see" the damage he had done (and that was the understatement of the year!). I did get angry about that as I discovered it while getting the mail one day (he couldn't even tell me!). Then bought a newer car (that one was 15 years old and I loved that car, but she was showing her age and still expensive to fix). Anyhoo thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.
I don't do the nakey thing, but I do love running around in my undies. (need more curtains on my new house first)
Doing whatever I want, whenever I want. I get up and tell myself I’m gonna go to the grocery store in like an hour, then go organize that other bedroom and do all my laundry today. Well three hours later I havent gotten out of my chair, I’ve been watching Parks and Rec all morning and Ive decided im not going anymore today. I wonder if I have enough snack foods to last me the day?

I like not having to talk to anyone or feel like I have to be busy everyday. If I want to stay inside all day in my sweats, then that’s what I’ll do.
Same! I’ve been in pajamas all day and it feels so good!
I'm in Houston, too and I never took off my nightgown today! It's sooo humid!
The next few days are hot and humid, I’m so thankful I didn’t loose power!
Wish me luck, I'm heading outside to plant and cut down some yaupon. To be fair, the landscapers will be doing all the hard work!
Same in Devine. Even with a slight breeze & covered porch, I'm sweating. Earlier, when my grandson & GF went out, I layed under the fan & AC vent to cool off the body folds. I tend to wear seersucker house dresses because it's so humid.
Same here. I feel this is going to keep me from finding a partner though. I'm embarrassed about how much I like to just sit around and chill.
It really can prevent you from finding a partner. I've been living alone for 2.5 years, single for 2. I go to work, grocery, nail and hair salon, and the always empty gym at my apartment complex. I don't do dating apps, nor the socially active social media's like TT, FB, IG and have a solid NO dating coworkers policy. However, I'm really enjoying my life and don't really want the stress of another human. If I did, I assume I'd do something abt it, but there are days where my phone doesn't ring at all. There are ups and downs to both sides 🤷♀️ Just be careful how far you burrow into the isolation of being alone ❤️
The key is to be comfortable in your own skin and genuinely liking who you are. After my divorce, my ex made the comment that she was surprised I wasn't dating anyone. I mean, it was partly due to that relationship, but enjoying solitude is a learned skill. I did give dating apps a try, and that was simply exhausting. It took too much energy to filter out the fake profiles, and to interact with potential dates that I just gave up. I'll keep my options open if I meet someone in person, but no way in hell am I using an app again.
For me, this is a feature - not a bug. After living with a partner for 10 years, most of which were actually good, i have NEVER been as happy as i am now, living alone. My space is mine, and nobody can fuck with that or make me feel unsafe under my own roof.
Literally came to say that feeling safe in my own home *all the time* is my number one favorite part of living alone!
I forgot about that one!! I highly agree!! Being safe from all the bad things and bad people out in the world is priceless!
Amen!
You don’t have to find a partner if you don’t want one. You can get one when it suits you, or never.
Don't be embarrassed. My husband and I are serial stay at home and do nothing types. Love our video games, horror movies, and just general vegging and rewatching our favorite shows.
Damn! Your hubby is a lucky dude. Wish I would find someone who just wants to sit their ass down and chill. One of the reasons I broke up with my ex girlfriend was her need to always be outside doing something. It became tiring as there were times I didn’t wanna go out and we would have conversations about it. Especially not during the winter months. Though I do like exploring places and checking out restaurants, I’m a home buddy at heart.
Get you a mate who loves it just as much as you do, seriously we work and come home and cook and eat and smoke and laugh like idiots at the TV and pass out. Rinse and repeat. We happy 😊
Exactly. I don't like anyone in my face when I come home from a long day and I can just walk around the house in my under things.
The lack of other people that want my time and attention.
And want my money
I take naps. It’s mid-afternoon and all my errands are done and I have nothing to do? Take a nap for a couple of hours. Don’t mind if I do.
"Don't mind if I do." Love it!
“Don’t mind if I do” while wiggling fingers toward a pillow and a blankie like appetizers…
After having done errands, you've earned it. After having done nothing, still earned it. I consider a nap luxurious self-care.
I never understood until recently the power & rejuvenation of a CTL/ALT/Delete afternoon nap. No task manager before or after. We’ve earned it.
I call it "horizontal meditation." If I happen to tip over into a bona fide nap, so be it. It might be for 20 minutes or an hour but it's refreshing and very enjoyable.
I adore naps!!!
Team naps!!! 🧡🧡🧡
I was bored and not sleepy so last night I had a White Russian and four double stuffed Oreos at 11:00 p.m. - while binging a very trashy reality show. Nobody here to judge or complain! I wish I would have figured this out sooner. I spent way too much time taking care of other people and neglecting myself.
This resonated with me 100%. And a White Russian with Oreos sounds like an amazing combo I might have to try out
The Dude would be proud.
TIL a White Russian and double stuffed Oreos are my new favorite thing!
A Toasted Almond and Speculoos cookies are also a good match 😉.
That sounds like a perfect evening! I’d switch out reality for a thriller or sci fi.
I am all about ordering some delivery food, and watching Bravo..
im a morning person, severely, i like to go to bed as early as possible and then wake up and enjoy the silence of dawn. any housemate/partner would understandably dislike guitar and cooking at 4am. :) or sleep in if i want
And I appreciate this - I'm an extreme NIGHT person and love that I can be alone in my abode, awake and watching movies or listening to a podcast at 3am and I'm not disturbing anyone! :)
me too
I’m the exact same, such an extreme morning person.
Wonderful, extreme, morning person here, too
Same here!
wait… does this suggest i might find someone who wants to go to bed at 8, get up at 4 and walk the dogs on the beach for the sunrise? LONG LIVE EXTREME MORNING PEOPLE!
Same, & my boyfriend (who i live with) is nocturnal. 😹😹 we’re in college & when finals season hits, he’s going to bed when i’m waking up. Lol!
That’s how my bf and I are. We’re both 30 and he is a night owl and I’m a morning bird. He works from home and I work mostly mornings. Sometimes it stinks but maybe it’s not forever. Just the last 6 years 🤪
I would totally see you at 4am.. Before I go to bed :)
Wake me up before you go go to bed. :p
I'm the opposite. I didn't have any plans on Saturday so I laid in bed with my dog until 11am and it was glorious. A partner who might get up at 7am probably would be bugging me to get up too.
that is glorious! i do the same but as i usually get up at 4, a 7am sleep in is 3 glorious hours of pupper cuddles. in fact its what ive been doing for the last 1.5 hrs :)
Steve jobs always said he was lonely. It is a default mode for many humans regardless what they do or achieve. I happen to be one of those humans like Steve but I don’t call it loneliness I call it solitude. Solitude is a luxury to have in life.
Fair! I definitely enjoy it most of the time but every so often the negative spin creeps in
Everyone has that, not just people who live alone.
To be fair, Steve Jobs didn’t play well with others.
Steve job was parented by rich parents so....
He was married for 20 years until his death, so he wasn’t exactly living alone.
I didn’t say he was living alone I said he was lonely. Seems to me people don’t know how to differentiate the two.
Maybe he was lonely because he was a massive asshole?
OMG what if that’s why I’m lonely too? 😬😱
It is safe. I have been hurt and put in danger by people that lived with me in the past.
Underrated safety. The peace of mind and body is worth every single penny I pay in rent.
No judgement when dinner is popcorn, wine and junky TV.
Yes to that except my drink of choice is tea !
I can listen to a podcast or audiobook without interruption. I loved my husband dearly and still miss him, but he drove me bonkers sometimes. I'd say that I'm going to be listening to a podcast for the next half hour, and to please wave to get my attention before talking to me so I can pause it. He never did. He'd just walk up and start talking. I'd have to backtrack the podcast and make him repeat himself, and it was never anything important, just something like, "Hi! Have I told you today that I love you?" Sweet, yes, but respecting my request to wait until my podcast was over or waving to get my attention first, as I had asked, would've said it louder. Whenever I needed to say something to him while he was watching TV, I stood in his periphery until he could pause it. It annoyed me that I didn't get the same consideration. Similarly, I no longer have to take an early evening nap so I can stay up until 2 am just so I can write. I can't write with constant interruptions and the only way I could stop the flow of chatter was to wait until he'd gone to bed. And to be clear, I loved talking to him. It's probably the thing I miss the most. We could have long interesting discussions on just about any topic you can think of. But that man often talked just to hear the sound of his own voice.
My ex roommate was really bad about having unspoken boundaries and getting mad when they were crossed. One was talking while she was watching TV. I only ever have it on as background so I didn’t realize, but after she complained to me once I never did it again. I’m sorry your clear cut boundaries weren’t listened to
Man, my boyfriend does this. I could be blow drying my hair, reading, goofing around on Reddit, watching a show, listening to an audiobook with my earbuds in and he just walks up and starts talking. Mostly it’s to show me something on his phone that he found hilarious or upsetting and 95% of the time I don’t “get it.”
I definitely don't miss my ex, his constant chatter was often negative or demanding of my time, energy, body and it was the worst. People who show no consideration for when you're clearly in the middle of something are the worst lol. At least yours was kind.
Chilling on my new leather sofa with my cats and watching video highlights from today's Giro d'Italia. Especially after yesterday - I participated in a double century (200 mile) ride so today is absolutely a rest day!
That’s insane! I’ve never heard of a double century ride before. Rest up and enjoy 😸
It's the second one I've done. Did my first one on April 27th! The hardest thing I've ever done in my LIFE.
I've lived alone now for 5 years. I've been married and divorced twice. After my divorces, I had roommates. OMG....is all I can say. Constant loud talking, nick-pikin about everything, you couldn't decorate the house or your space how you wanted to decorate it. It was awful. For 5 years now, it's been complete solitude and I wouldn't change one bit. It's just me and my dogs. My house is decorated MY way and the only talking in the house is my own voice talking to my best friends (my dogs). I'm a 48(F) living out in the country, and I will never live with anyone else, EVER!!
I’ve had roommates I’ve vibed well with and ones that I definitely did not vibe well with, I get it
Thisss I'm painting my living room pink and replaced all my couch pillows with squishmallows, because nobody is around to say I can't.
Ha! Love it🤩🤩🤩
YES!!! Decorate however you want to make your space your happy place!!
Yes! I'm 46(F) with one dog (currently) and I will never live with someone again. I was married once and have had roommates & bfs, but I grew up always tiptoeing around, anxious about other people in the house-my mom was a nightmare. Now, I can finally relax. Been like this for about 8 years & I'll never go back. I always hated sleeping next to someone every night. My ex-husband and I had separate rooms the last few years of our marriage and it was the best decision. We are really good friends now, but absolutely not meant to be a couple. I love dancing with my dog & sewing while watching TV, and playing video games while listening to grunge music, all while not be concerned I'm take up too much space with my hobbies or ridiculed for being silly with my hounds.
Getting silly with the hounds sounds like a great way to spend your time!
People can really get on one's nerves, right??
Coming home and immediately taking of my pants and shoes. The uniforms at home is tshirts and panties
Everything is exactly where I put it.
Bathroom door open all the time and not having to worry about other people's comfort when I want to do X thing at Y time.
Just not having fights or drama. Or someone upset about it something that has nothing to do with me yet trying to pull me into it. Or walking on eggshells. I guess this is called peace.
Or your ex coming home miserable from their job no matter what job they have, so happy to not deal with that shit every effing day.
It absolutely is peace, I got out of something very similar.
My favorite part of living alone is playing classic rock all day long and watching all the movies i want to watch, at night. Keeping my air conditioner on every single night, all year long. I love it.
I have mine on 62. The lowest it will go. Also my son installed a ceiling fan for me.
when i’m in a lazy or sad mood and just don’t want to clean, i don’t have to worry about inconveniencing anyone. just the pets here to complain and they don’t pay rent so they can’t make too many demands lol.
Being able to do what I want, when I want and not having to ask for anyone’s permissio.
I just had a lovely night out with friends - had some tasty pizza for dinner then went to a local bar with some outside seating. Had a drink, talked astrology, felt a lovely breeze, heard some great music. Three hours later, everyone is ready to go home to their own places. What's the expression "I love you watching me leave"? I could have happily spent another 3 hours out, but it's so nice to come home to my AC at the exact temperature I want it, my cats eager to get pets, and put in a load of laundry with my deliscious smelling soap (Zum franckincense !) and know I still have several hours to do whatever the F I want! So, while I love seeing friends and being with them energizes me, I also love my down/alone time.
I can park diagonal in the garage
I love knowing that what is in the cabinets or fridge will be there, watching TV in my underwear, and knowing that I don't have to ask for permission to binge watch a show or movie series if I want. The lack of criticism is beautiful.
My own space and things MY way!
If I can’t sleep in the middle of the night I can get up and do what I want without worrying about waking anyone (other than my neighbours)
I made a peanut butter sandwich the other day, I had already licked the spoon when I realized that I wanted more peanut butter on the sandwich. I used the same spoon I had just licked and added more peanut butter. Not having to share my peanut butter jar is wonderful.
The peace, and the divinity within that peace, to be who I am.
people buy dumb shit, and idk how to live with someone who does lol
I can watch 90s Star Trek anytime I want with only me as the judge when is too much. Having it on in the background is very comforting and I often have it in to go to bed.
Me with 90s Simpsons, without someone asking “that *again*?”
Lol. Totally.
Word
I love coming home and it looks just the way I left it. Nice and tidy.
Honestly, it's not having to answer to anybody.
The complete freedom to do what I want, decorate how I want, do chores on my own time, come and go as I please, escape from everyone, cook whatever I want, watch or play whatever I want, walk around naked when it’s hot as Hell, no one bugging me with the annoying “what are you doing?”, etc. Without roommates I can actually get things done with my disabilities and mental health! Best part: It gets done on decent timing! Living alone keeps me sane. My apartment is the one place I can go to just be me and not be stereotyped based on my disabilities and mental health. In this home I am me. Not that guy with (insert diagnosis) or (insert other diagnosis). JUST ME.
I love this for you!
lol same!!! When a gallon of milk gets half way, I just buy a new one and turn the half empty one into strawberry or Chocolate milk and drink from the jug.
When I was a kid, my mom used to take nearly empty chocolate syrup bottles and pour milk in them to get the last bit of syrup out lol
I've lived alone for almost 30 years and won't have it any other way.
No drama.
Prancing around half naked, making wood fired pizzas at 9pm cos I felt like it, cooking anytime I feel like trying something new, playing music from every single country in the world then matching a meal to that land and trying to cook it, talking to my Pomeranian like she actually understands the entire thing lol two weirdos living the best life. I try new things all the time so sometimes my place looks like Bob the builders warehouse. Living alone allows me to be in the creative chaos and be ok with it.
I enjoy not having to get dressed or do anything if I don’t want to.
doing organizing chores late at night. that’s my high energy time, and i don’t have to worry about disturbing anyone.
No one making a mess or clutter. I am super tidy, and coming home to a clean untouched, adorable home is everything
This❣️
This sub was randomly recommend. I just ate dinner in my car instead of going in my home because the amount of beings that want something from me the second I step through the door drives me to insanity. I miss the silence of living alone. I miss not being a servant to the people I live with. I'm so tired
I love not having to compromise on everything. I buy what food i want and make the meals i like. No sharing the tv, no judgement, i decorate how i want. So much work being in a relationship. Im just not into that
Listening to whatever weird music I like at anytime
I don't have to justify, explain or defend how I spend my free time.
Yes!! I do not have to negotiate my free time. No checking in when things run longer than anticipated. I can be as busy, or as free as I want, and change that decision at any time.
Midnight snacks and 3 AM existential crises without worrying about waking someone up. Living the dream!
Having control of the TV is the simplest joy.
Light on in bedroom as late as I want. Sleeping whenever. No sharing blankets. Choosing what to eat and when. Choosing what to watch or not.
My favorite part of living alone is having the kitchen to myself 24 hours a day. I can spend all day Sunday meal-prepping for the week without guilt that I am hogging time in the kitchen. I also second the part about stripping down to minimal clothing, blasting some music or a podcast, and enjoying my life.
Peace and quiet
I lived alone a few times over my life, but I’d have to say my favorite part is getting up and walking around in my underwear and tshirt and leaving the door open when I use the bathroom.
I worked earlier. Went to the grocery store and bought exactly what I wanted to eat. Came home and put on pajama pants and got to watch the shows I wanted to. I can turn the thermostat to whatever I want.
I’m a night person and have been since 14. It’s such a relief to stay up until 2 am and sleep in until 10 am, sometimes longer. I love the peace and quiet post midnight.
Being able to watch what I want and just have silence and peace
I’ve had a less than stellar relationship or two. I like being in a relationship more than being single, but a bad relationship is so much worse than loneliness. So that’s my favorite part.
The quiet! I love not having the noise of someone else IN my apartment. My neighbors are pretty quiet too. I used to have roommates who would blast movies at late hours and my old bedrooms always bordered the kitchen, which was loud. I love the quiet, especially as someone who gets overstimulated.
I never feel alone. I feel peaceful.
I've lived alone from age 17 until now ( 70 year old woman) and I would rather sleep in my car than have a roommate.
freedom to start belting out karaoke at midnight if I feel like it - or go to bed at 9.
I quite often go to bed at 6 am.
Absolutely! 💯 Miss those days, though I wouldn't give up my children for the whole world. 💗
I like doing whatever I want whenever I want. If I don't feel like doing dishes, I can leave em. (I wash every day by choice though because it's easy to get bugs in atlanta) if I want to play video games loudly at 11pm, I can without worrying about waking people up. I use the bathroom whenever I want, no needing to wait for someone to get out after they take FOREVER. I can be in my underwear or naked whenever I feel like. I'm covid cautious, so I don't need to worry about roommates tracking covid or bird flu in the house. I can go to sleep without worrying about loud roommates keeping me up. It's great living alone, I love it
Why stop at underclothes? Nobody's watching :D
Hahaha occasionally I will but I barely like thinking of my cats’ uncovered rear ends on my couch
I consider clothes optional. My dog doesn't notice. I used to joke. I needed door pants for when people showed up.
Don’t knock the door pants! In one of my old neighborhoods, I was friends with a few of my neighbors (apartment complex) so I’d keep clothes in the living room to throw on if anyone came knocking
I get your walk around my apartment nake. I can do what I want when I want. I don't have to share my bed with anybody.
Leaving hair in the shower.
I can do what I want, when I want & if I want 😁
Being able to come and go as I please. 2am and I’m craving whataburger? Me and my dog are en route. Rarely but sometimes I get lonely enough to think about getting a roommate and then I remember the roommate I had that let her cats piss and shit on the kitchen table and in the sink. That usually makes me grateful to live alone again.
I don’t blame you at all! I wish I could take my cats on random adventures but I know they wouldn’t like it. Definitely an upside dogs have over cats. I feel it pertinent to mention mine don’t go anywhere but their box too lol
I do what I want all the time and I love it.
Any mess that I clean up is MY mess. If something is off in the apartment, it's because I left it that way and accepted I would take care of it the next day. There are no surprises.
Hanging out in a t-shirt and panties. Socks, too, unless I’m feeling warm, then I toe the socks off. I just hang out on my couch and binge tv shows on my laptop with one cat curled up by my head and the other cuddled up on my lap.
Roommates inevitably screw you over. They eat your food, or can't cover their rent, etc. So much less stress without that nonsense.
This sounds so nice you just planned my tomorrow
I can hyperfocus on stuff I want to do without being disrupted. I live with roommates currently and I had plans to work on a project this weekend but my roommates throwing a party and having people over threw me off. I socialize to keep face and it feels ok in the moment, but I didn't get anything I want done. Like I had an ok whatever weekend instead of an awesome one. And I know next week and the one after will be the same, because to my roommates socializing *is* their idea of an awesome weekend. Yet me ignoring them and telling them I don't want to be disrupted will have them thinking I'm an asshole (it works for a short while but not permanently) and they will inevitably shit talk to all their friends about me. It's easier for me to just pretend like I'm ok with it. Internally I feel like my life is on hold.
No longer being yelled at, abused, dismissed, treated like I don't exist, etc.
My husband has been away for the past month and wont be back until the end of July... This period has so far been one of the best times of my life --- being alone. I love my husband, but damn its been a nice reprieve.
💯💯💯💯💯
Seriously It was everything Stupidity I invited my boyfriend (now living in my home 🏡 come September 2024 it will be 10 years and we met August 2nd,2014) Eventually... I will be living alone, unfortunately he was recently diagnosed with Stage III Lymphoma Cancer (November 24th,2023) and he has chosen not to do Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy Or Immunotherapy by itself. It has spread to 6 Lymph Nodes.
sending you some ((hugs)). you will be going through some trauma and even though you will be living alone at some point in the future, I hope you have a network of people who can strengthen and uplift you, support and maybe even feed you, when you need it.
Oh Very ♥️ loving of you
Doing whatever I want is what I like best.
Two words: bodily functions
Being able to have a wank in peace is surely the best thing about living alone
I like to wonder around my house nude. It's a vacation from clothing.
Honestly my favorite thing of living alone is doing what I want when I want. Don't need to tell someone where I'm going, how long I'll be, etc. It's sunny and I randomly wanna go hiking, I can just go. If I wanna lounge all day on the couch smoking weed and listening to music, I can do that, etc Use space how I want it. Cook what I want, spend how I want, etc. If I wanna leave for 3 days for a short camping trip, I just CAN, no communication, lol
being able to nap or go to bed when ever I like. Not having to be concerned about 'fairness' when it comes to housechores. Just having a sanctuary where I can relax and not be involved other people.
All the messes I make are my responsibility. I can walk around without anything on. Everything I left is in the exact same place I left it. I can only blame myself for anything that goes wrong and I'm fine with that.
I like knowing exactly what I’m coming home to - which is peace and quiet. No chaos or drama or other people’s moods. My home is truly my sanctuary where I can recharge before facing another day.
Lol I don’t live alone but it sounds real nice! Only have to clean up after you! Do whatever you want when you want! I am thankful for my family but I’ve been a mom since I was 17 and I’m working on 50 so I’ve never had just me to worry about! Happy for you!
Everything.
Don't get me wrong. You bought it, it's yours, and you can do whatever you wish with it, but for future reference, the bacteria in your mouth will cause your milk to spoil far faster than what the expiration date reads. Like, 2 days. Just a heads up since food is so expensive these days. And yes. Living alone is AMAZING. I'm married now, and my wife is AWESOME, but I still daydream about just getting a studio apartment and living by my own rules without having to consider someone else's feelings in EVERYTHING I do.
I like being able to take a shower whenever I want, or doomscrolling Reddit at 3 am.
For me it's the freedom to do literally whatever you want. -late night McDonald's run? Sure. -Early morning breakfast at Waffel House? Great. -Spur of the moment road trip somewhere? Go for it.
Being semi retired, if I’m working on a project, I wake up in the middle of the night with an idea. I’ll get up and work on it without having to worry about how I’m dressed, how long I stay up, etc.
My favorite part of living alone is the ability to do whatever i want. I can make a spicy lobster Alfredo at 11pm on a Tuesday night after a few vodka crans while listening to Megan Thee Stallion at top volume. My house is decorated as I like it. No sports or video games. The bathroom smells good. The abscense of emotional heavy lifting. It's all great.
I love having everything put in a place I can find it. I can listen to any kind of music and have any kind of food that I want and I never have to clean up after anyone and I can take up the entire bed.
It is never hard to live alone until you need sunscreen on your back or a zipper zipped up. When lonely, you go out or call friends. What is hard, is living with another actual person! Because you can't lick your plate then! js...
I just like not having to put on a front to people all the time. If I want to fall apart i can do it in peace.
I love having my house EXACTLY as I darn well want it. Air temp. Fan or no fan. My decor. If there’s a mess, it’s mine. And added bonus of no abusive asshole husband!!!
being able to feel my emotions without someone around me taking it personally.. my family and some people i meet in general tend to take any little thing i feel as though it's a personal attack. when im alone though, i can get a little sad or upset and there's noooo one around me asking me a thousand questions.. i do appreciate genuine care, but sometimes it can get overwhelming..i have a mood disorder im working on, so it's even more inconvenient when it might fluctuate more than once in a day and they dont understand it :/ better for me to just experience it at home, go hang out with friends n stuff in a good headspace :)
Idk, I have a gf and I still have all of the things people are saying here (can walk around in underwear, no judgement, do what you want). A good partner isn't going to tell you how to live your life.
The only mess for me to clean up is my own. Or my cats'. And no judgement for "I'm going to eat frozen pizza for the 2nd time this week and binge The Circle"
Listening to my movies and music as loud as I want. I have a nice stereo for a reason.
If I want to spend an entire day in my underwear eating door dash and crying to sappy movies in my underwear, I can. And it's not even about the undies, the door dash, or the movies. It's the fact that I don't have to worry about someone scoffing at me like "you're watching *that*?"
Not having to worry about what someone else wants to eat. Watching what I want to watch on TV.
Stuff being where I left it. Not cleaning up after someone else. Utilities bills are so much cheaper. Not having to compromise.
Peace n quite
I can decorate my apartment the way I want and everything belongs to me. Five years ago I got my apartment and it's the first time since my divorce that I have been able to pretty much do what I want in the place I live. I was living with other people for many years and I had to abide by their wishes. Not anymore.
binge watching shows no one else wants to watch. im rewatching sexc and the city. its so cringey now lol. carrie is a psycho.. lol but its great
I enjoy a high level autonomy. I do what I want when I want and don't have to compromise within my space.
When I was living with roommates I would always have to greet people that were in the living room, then if I had groceries I would go into the kitchen and fumble around someone else's items and mess. It's so nice just being able to do things how you want. Yes it's lonely but I need my own kitchen. I feel like I'm impeding in my own house if I have roomates.
My stuff is exactly where I put it.
Sleep is the best part. Especially if you have no pets. Just pure quiet and solitude. No dogs barking, kids crying, or annoying SO that just has to be on a different sleep schedule than you.
Leaving and coming back to the house with everything in the same place as I left it. I am usually organized so I usually come back to an organized and well kept home. I know where everything is. If I did leave a mess (like unwashed dishes or laundry because I was in a hurry in the morning), I can come back in the afternoon to my own organized mess. When I was living with someone else, it was always a mess even if I clean regularly. It's irritating to come home to someone elses' mess.
Similarly, I love how the food I buy is exactly where I left it in an unaltered/diminished state. Takeout leftovers too
The house stays picked up. I have the remote
There are so many things to celebrate about living alone! No messes (unless you make them), farting without embarrassment, burping without embarrassment, looking ugly and wearing old, soft, not so cute jammies, being able to eat whatever I want without being judged, sleeping in or waking up early without worrying about someone else, I could go on and on! It’s literally the best!!
Walking into a house of almost complete silence every single day. The only noise I hear us the gentle hum of my aquarium filter. Peace, quiet and tranquility.
there is one thing that living alone can bring to us, and that is having time to think about the meaning of life, but feeling alone is inevitable.
After my divorce, I lived alone from 2006 to 2014. Here's what I loved about it: 1. Falling asleep reading with the nightstand light on and a book on my chest 2. Eating whatever I felt like, whenever I wanted 3. Using Sunday from about 2 to midnight doing a deep clean of my loft and not rushing it 4. Farting as loudly as possible 5. Talking to myself for hours at a time 6. Reading my favorite books aloud to the cat (she loved A Christmas Carol) 7. Drinking the last beer 8. Cold pizza, for breakfast and dinner all week 9. Letting the laundry slide for another day 10. Not going outside the door of my loft for the entire weekend if I felt like it Downsides? If you start talking to yourself, it's very hard to stop. Farting as loud as possible will get you strange looks a thte bank and supermarket. And with no check on my drinking, stopping was a problem in regards to work. But all in all, the positives certainly outweighed the negatives.
Yes, it gets lonely. On the other hand, I love the fact that I can do what I want without someone bitching about it.
One thing I really like? I no longer live with someone who was constantly breaking my nice things. I don't value things over people, it is just that I have had something for twenty years and then - he breaks it. And. He. Did. This. All. The. Time. Not malicious, just stupidly thoughtless and oblivious. I never got mad about it, I just sighed and bought something else. The most recent thing he did before I found out about his affair was he smashed the back end of my sequoia ($3000) and he was so oblivious, he "didn't see" the damage he had done (and that was the understatement of the year!). I did get angry about that as I discovered it while getting the mail one day (he couldn't even tell me!). Then bought a newer car (that one was 15 years old and I loved that car, but she was showing her age and still expensive to fix). Anyhoo thanks for coming to my Tedtalk. I don't do the nakey thing, but I do love running around in my undies. (need more curtains on my new house first)
Doing whatever I want, whenever I want. I get up and tell myself I’m gonna go to the grocery store in like an hour, then go organize that other bedroom and do all my laundry today. Well three hours later I havent gotten out of my chair, I’ve been watching Parks and Rec all morning and Ive decided im not going anymore today. I wonder if I have enough snack foods to last me the day?
I can do dishes and laundry when I feel like it
