Can you live alone?

I have been living alone for the past 3 years... have got used to it pretty much by now. In the beginning it was quite tough... Loneliness, new rooms and bad weather would drive me crazy sometimes.. But now, I don't even feel that I am alone... There's nothing to it now, not anymore... Moreover I like it! Have fun!

I can live alone by myself. I'm old enough to live alone in an apartment, I can be more comfortable and I can do whatever I want with no one disturbing me. Of course, it's better to live with a family, but for now, I would want to live alone for the meantime.

man is a social animal so a bit dificult to spend time alone. He needs comapanions and friends and relatives for interaction. Also a single mind is a devils house and can create unwanted things.

hello dear, Nice to see you again. There is no place like home as the saying goes. And living with family is always the best for me. I am living with my kids alone far from my family. And yes,i can manage to live alone by myself. Back in my younger years,i start to live alone when i am 14 yrs old. I had to stay in a dormitory since my school is far from home. From that early age,i managed to live myself alone and far from my family. It is exciting and gives me self confident too. Have a good day always dear

it's never mind, friend. today I still live with my parents, I always dream of having my own house: I'll arrange my house setting according to my own taste. I'll choose furniture I like, I will be free to do everything in my own house. Is it nice, ha?

I am still living with my family, actually a big family. I am not ready to move out yet, because I can not really taking good care of myself honestly speaking. I still rely on my mom's cooking and cleaning. Someday, I have to learn to be independent anyway.

since i got married, i live apart from my parents and siblings. before, i live near them as we only live in the same place, same community, so i can always come to them and visit them. but now that i have found a new life here, we live far away from them. but we continue to communicate through emails and phones.

I love living alone! I tried that before, when I was reviewing and I had the condo unit for myself because all my siblings were out of the country, I think I lived alone for 4 months, and I loved it. I love being independent, and just having the place for my own. I can't wait to buy my own house or apartment.

as humans, we certainly can not deny our nature as social beings who always need other people in this life ..... although we intend to live independently, of course, we still need the role of family, directly or indirectly

yeah, me too. i think everybody will feel the same with you zearah.

yhello! No, i think i can't live alone because it is really hard being alone to end of the days, having no one to share with, no one to listen to you, no one to warm your heart and feelings. I even don't want to imagine what would i do, if I am alone after 5 or 10 years, because this is my greatest fear and I really hope, it won't happen to me!

If the size is only away from parents or from people we love, all that I think is not something that is very difficult. Since, the distance is not something that can kill us. And I did experience the same thing, can not hold close to their parents and with people I love. This situation requires a sacrifice and patience more than us, and of course do not forget also that a parent or a loved one might feel the same way. Sometimes we will feel lonely, but alone it is not sometimes better?

I guess no one can answer this question..!!! presently ..i'm also leaving alone but still not satisfied...,,,,as we need family__ 2 take care if we leave with family ...we need some independent _- the same way we will not be satisifed..\\ so here are the two resolutions... even god also cannot judge this..we should leave alone or not.. the best examples are animals and birds leave alone..but they go for work together__ the same way if we want ...we need to be like animal...but it is kinda hard 2 leave like that..guess how animals leave there life... well that's it...

Well I live in my family but its better to live alone. It helps you to be independent and be more responsible as you are growing.

You have your own house? rich kid ha! I agree, there is no place but with your family in one home. i am still living my family. WE are five and although I am old right now, i can be independent but i feel i need my family. When I am stress knowing that they are around me makes me feel well. So to answer your question, i can't live alone. i can live to be honest, but I will be crying all night because I know I will missing my family. I can be a part from them from one to two days, but more than that I knew it could kill inside me. And its hard to live alone, you know the situation right now, there are so much killing. I am afraid, but i know i can defend myself.

I love living alone and I have been living alone for many years now! I love my independence and I would not have it any other way now! Sadly, my parents passed away many years ago now and I have had to live alone as a result of that. I think that living alone is a good thing as it teaches you about responsibility and you have to do everything yourself including the paying of bills on time and things like that. I suppose it's nice when you have your family still with you as you have a good support network there but when you are on your own you have to deal with everything yourself and yes it can be difficult at times! So, I live in a one bedroom flat and I have my own space and I do what I want when I want and there's no one around to tell me any different! Andrew

I have never really lived alone for very long to say that I could or not. I guess I prefer to live with at least one other person. I have my daughter and her family living with me now. Sometimes it gets a little crazy but having my granddaughter around makes it alright. If I had to live alone I think I could handle it but I know I would get lonely at times.

Yours is an ideal arrangement, close but not too close, zearah. Human beings are social animals and need to be around people. But living alone is the best choice for me. It's nice to have family within spitting distance, but having my own place: where I can do what I prefer to do; do things my way without anyone interfering; have peace and quiet when I need to pray or meditate; pick the channel I want to watch, without anyone else playing with the remote; pick the kind of food I want and having it when I want it; and not to go by other people's preferences. Anyone can knock on my door when they need something from me, instead of barging in and doing what they want inside my little sanctuary. In this age of modern technology, there's the phone with which we can call or be called by family and friends, we can send emails to each other. We can invite each other for occasional get-togethers. It's better to put a little distance because familiarity breeds contempt. Whereas absence makes the heart grow fonder. I may sound like a spinster, but I have kids and grandkids. I am now a widow and I'm free. But, like Frank Sinatra said, I want to do things "My Way" and be in control of my own life, be its navigator. Others may not agree, but this is my way. Have a wonderful evening, zearah.
