Things They Don't Tell You About Living Alone

When you started living alone, no one told you that life was complicated. You will feel overwhelmed, and bored, and tired. But gradually you will fall in love with living alone, because you will be freer, and you will be more responsible for yourself.
Whether you're moving out, or you've been living alone for a while, I hope you have fun in your life.

Try to make backup plans for certain eventualities (leaving a spare key with somebody you trust is a good one.) But then keep your wits about you. However, it's a good idea to develop that skill anyway; it's not fair to dump dipsy behaviour on the person you live with either.

[@LittleKitty22]

That's true. My landlord is like that. Extremely nosey. Constantly finds excuses to come into my house, and then insists on looking into every room. At times he even sent people who demanded to look into my closets and cabinets. My stalker has broken in, killed my beloved cat, and rummaged through my belongings. What is it with people that they just HAVE to cause pain and suffering, and sniff through other people's belongings? And he stole too - oh gosh, my entire jewelry collection, model train engines (the expensive ones, not toys)... he stole it all, and then smashed up my classic car. Why is everyone so keen on sniffing through my things? I hate living alone, but would never be able to trust anyone enough to live with after all that!

Uit ervaring met meerdere situaties bij zowel mezelf als anderen heb ik een wijze raad voor je: zoek iemand van het andere geslacht die jou aanvult en die jij aanvult, ga pas samenleven wanneer je bent getrouwd, erken dat verliefdheid een gevoel is en dat liefde veel verder gaat dan dat (maar ook iets is waar je in moet investeren). Iedereen in mijn omgeving die naar bovenstaande leeft, is daar gelukkiger mee dan degenen die andere routes kozen. Mensen die beweren liever alleen te zijn, vormen de uitzondering. Die mensen hebben dikwijls of een trauma, of een mentale stoornis zoals autisme, waardoor ze meer moeite hebben om met iemand samen te leven. Voor die minderheid is het inderdaad (in elk geval op korte termijn) beter om alleen te zijn.

Living together with people you can't stand anymore, is hell and worse than loneliness.

I got over it.

She would be asleep pm the couch. It was the only time could get any time to myself. She would murmur it out half asleep again. She did it mostly to be annoying. Now I can stay up no matter what. It's been 35 years. I wished things had been different so I could have had more than this , but I go out and associate without being questioned, and having to argue about things when I come home.

1. No. Better buy groceries for half a week but plan to cook something different every day or every second day. Eating same stuff all the time will get boring quickly. There is too many recipes to try and improve. Food 3-7 days old or even next day is not as tasty as freshly made one with fresh ingredients. 2. You can't learn how to fix something if it's not broken. You will learn once you break things or things break on their own with time. You can't focus on that and learning that in theory when it can occur in two years is useless as you can forget how to do it and won't use it in practice. 3. You can make friends in many places, best look for group online and try to join some events that are suitable for newcomers. I never liked drinking coffee, specially going out just to do that so I bet I am not the only one. 4. Or just listen to music you listened to 10 or 20 years ago.

I definitely enjoy my own space and can even sometimes go a whole day without saying anything verbally, but I also worry eventually what kind of person I might become, if I don’t spend my life with other people outside of work, let alone a partner or lover to live with. There’s the difference I guess between how you feel in the moment, and how you believe you will feel in the future and how you look back on your past. I feel in many ways, it’s almost like ticking something of a bucket list to make sure you’ve at least lived with people once, rather than not having done so at all. Kind of like love.

No medications helped, and he wouldn't take them after a while, anyway. I lost my precious kitty that suffered wobbly cat syndrome because he put him outside and he vanished. (I suspect a neighbor shot him.) I told him over and over that Puff could not go outside, that he was not able to run from a threat. I don't have to change the bedding every other day or week because he had seizures and didn't come out of it to get to the bathroom. It's nice to just change them because it's time. I don't have to clean up urine off the floor because he thought the corner, the fireplace, the sofa, was the bathroom. Yes, he took care of me a good bit of the time. But, I think my RA was much worse because of my constant worry for him--he also drank at times, and once when drunk, he broke the foot board of our 4-poster bed because he grabbed the post when he was falling and the foot board split in half. He pulled a corner shelf of knick-knacks over on himself, twice. He had a seizure at the top of the 15 steps to our front door and rolled down them. He laid his face open on the cement steps in the back when he had a seizure. He had a seizure at church and it frightened the children there (good teaching moment, though). The constant worry did not help me at all. I'm more peaceful, if not exactly happier. There are things that I read or see that make me think "Mike would really like that". But, I'm no longer in constant, full-body pain from stress, either.

I can only speak for myself. In my early 20's, I had a hard time living alone. Always felt I should be married and start a family. I struggled to find a wife, I felt rejected by many, I was in a bad place mentally. Alcohol abuse, loneliness does not mix. I hit a low point. Some years later, I cleaned up, realizing what was happening to me was making me strong. Never been married to this day, now soon to be 47 years old. I grew to appreciate being on my own, a lone wolf. Got to keep busy, chase success to build wealth, find a hobby. I avoid laying around at home. I pump weights at the gym, I work on restoring my 1985 Chevy Camaro Z/28 I just bought recently. Love working on old classic cars. You have to enjoy your own company. I'm very happy with my life.

[@NicsMP]

This is what's not being talked about more often, Im in my late 20's and growing up I always thought living alone would be great and Im sure will be! But only in your 20's and early 30's.

Humans are meant to socialize, one or another, doesnt have to be an extroverted energy but the thought of having someone to communicate is important.

Some studies have shown that being very lonely is as bad as smoking 3 packs of cigarrettes a day. Lonely people die early, have more diseases, commits suic!d3 more often.

​@@master_cave most of the advice I would give is already in the above video, but there's a couple things I wish it touched on more: moving pains, and loneliness. When you first move into a new space, things will feel unfamiliar at first. And living in an unfamiliar space can have detrimental effects to your mood. Though once you start nesting and making it your own, that feeling does start going away. And with loneliness, you can either do what I did and embrace it to try and turn the whole ordeal into somethinv meditative, or look for excuses to leave the house. But you will have to look for them. Work, groceries, and other adult responsibilities may be the only reasons to leave the house some days, and spending too much time at home isn't good for you, so looking for excuses to leave the house becomes a skill you have to develop over time like cooking, cleaning, and repair. But how much time around the house is too much, and how much you'll resist excuses to leave, is different for everyone. So there will be some trial and error in figuring out what the right balance is for you.

There are times when I thought "tonight I will die, alone, right here, right now, because of this damn fever". Having no one to take care of you when sick is a nightmare.

I have a fear of choking. It did not really manifest itself like a phobia, I think, before, but I always lived with someone so far, never being alone for more than a few days. And... In those days, such fears did start to take a bit of a toll. I was very careful and conscious when I ate and drank, I double-checked if every window and door were properly locked, etc. Also, I am pretty strict about playful things such as tickling or even just hugging when I eat or drink. Let me swallow everything and stop, then we can be close and goof around. Because I genuinely am afraid that I will choke on something. And yes, when I am sick, I tend to rely on others for help, and ready to do so for them if they are sick, because it feels fair and a right thing to do. But when I am alone and sick - yes, this is horrible. So far I was never so sick that I would die if somebody would not help me. But I am afraid if such day would come and I won't be able to call the emergency services or open the door for them. If I need to be alone, I can say so and stay with my PC/laptop/smartphone in my room. It is fine. Not all of my interests align with the interests of people I live with or friends with. But that is totally different from being completely alone in a home and knowing noone comes from work at the evening or something.

Getting sick alone is terrible. Keep a bottle of sugary drink next to your bed. If you are sick, you cannot get out of bed and eat for several hours, you may begin hypoglycemia. This is a dangerous condition when your blood glucose levels drop dramatically. If you have a fever, glucose in your body is consumed especially quickly. It is enough to take a couple of sips of a sweet drink every hour. Also talk about hypoglycemia prevention with your doctor if you have diabetes. Be careful and read the information on the bottle. If it is a sweet drink, but without sugar, it will not prevent hypoglycemia and may improve the condition.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

It depends on personality more than anything else. Some people are just ill-adapted to the ‘demands’ of independent living whoever they are but people high in extraversion (as sturdy as they might otherwise be) have a hard time being by themselves and trying to enjoy their own company without getting bored because they actively-draw energy from the people around them and often think there’s something inherently-wrong with people who actually choose to ride solo. That’s their loss.

Being lonely is nothing but a signal that you are doing everything correctly to keep yourself safe, healthy, and self-reliant. Being social has far more negatives than positives. I have had nobody in my life since 8 August 2000 at 18:34. I do not even have coworkers on my shift nor acquaintances. I go weeks without seeing humans, save on television. My life is nearly magical because of all I have gained by just forgetting the false indoctrination that humans must be social to be happy and successful. I am both happy and successful and have no resemblance to any social existence at all. This semi-anonymous KZbin rant is the closest thing I have to being social and it is just a video sharing site that invites comments. I use it to practice written English. Try social isolation. You will not believe how good it can be.

This video is so healing. Lost both of my parents and when I lost my best friend aka my mom, life was so tough at the beginning. I had no sibling so home was the last place I want to be in. But now I’m loving it so much , I’m taking charge of my life and destiny. Learning to cook on my own, fixing things alone and enjoy the quietness at home. Of course there are times when I wish I have someone to talk to before going to bed, I learnt that we can’t have best of both worlds. I’ve learnt to speak up, ask for strangers help like how to pick a broccoli, an elderly grandma taught me how (blessed) etc. 😊 I now live with my 1.5yo dog and can’t be more grateful for her presence. I truly believe that people whom are okay to live alone are tougher individuals. Less reliant or expectations of others. I do get envious of my peers whom still have their parents to rely on such as fixing broken stuff or furniture, or always having a piping hot or cooked meal on the table waiting for them after work. Then again, I reminded myself that I’m learning independence at a younger age (Asian kid) so things may turn out better for me when I’m older after being forced to toughen up at a younger age. But a word of advice, please speak up and ask for help when needed. Helplessness kills. And you’ll be surprised how many genuine people are willing to help. You are not alone. ❤

As a 46-year-old introvert, I can confirm that living alone can be addictive. However, I get the feeling that not having someone else around to...well...challenge me and take me out of my comfort zone in various ways may be holding me back in terms of personal growth. Over the last 10 years or so, I've been trying to "get out more" and "get involved" with other people more, to get closer to a happy medium. I am, still, very much an introvert who needs a lot of alone time to fully recharge, though. There are always tradeoffs.

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

[@Call_Upon_YAH]

Another truth many have been deceived of: When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God. Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
