Living alone.....

I am experiencing the same thing you are. Living alone actually has a lot of good quirks. For one, you answer to no one and no one bothers you. You eat what you want when you want and you do what you want. But it does get a bit lonely at times. I would rather though live alone than to have negative companionship so until I find the right one for me, I quess I'll be living the good life alone. lol

I think it's okay if you're not sick and you don't have any medical conditions. Just take time also to socialize with people once in a while. And well, exercise and don't always just stay at home.

"Better alone than with bad company" people said. If you are happy there is nothing bad in being alone. But there is difference between alone and lonely! I hope you are not lonely! I live with my boyfriend but sometimes i really want to live alone. To do my stuff, to get dog, to go out with friends more. Now my life is work and home in front of the tv or computer. I really got used to live with someone so i am scared to think that someday i could live alone

Hmm... I don't mind living alone so much. It was that way for me from the end of 2009 to beginning of 2010. I was happy enough being able to do as I please. The only thing that I fear about living alone is... what if I die and no one knows... until the neighbors smell something...

I never agree about the thinking of good to be living alone. We are human, we have social, we were born to live within social. It's not the problem when we have to live alone in some cases, but it's really good when we connect to others. So many interesting thing we will discover, so many things we can learn when we do connect.

Sometimes its good to be alone. In fact everybody should live happy, no matter in single or with anybody. Life is a set of a lots of part that we live one by one. It happens according to our daily activity and/or with respect to our surroundings. Sometimes its funny and entertaining with family and friends, some part of its force us to live alone and to devoted to god for the peace of mind. So if you are living alone, than there must be a reason behind it. And I believe everything happens for good only. So live life as much as you can and be happy with the present circumstances. God is Great and God is One.

Though you are alone,you're not lonely,because you have a clever son and you fill your life with some pleasant affairs.In my opinion,loneliness is just from our mind.If we feel pleased with our present condition,and lead a happy and busy life,we will not feel lonely at all.You said that sometimes you asked you whether you should live alone.Well, when you have such feelings,you'd better make a call to your son.

hi whitewinjgspeak I get a lot of loneliness solved b y mylotting a lot bu t I do have a roommate not that she is any help as she sleeps all day'b ut at least i am not alone. I seemy son each week when he comes to visit and i do socialize here at times. but I am not thrilled at having to live in a retirement center. however we were homeless my adult son and I so we had to do whatever wasnecessry tol get ourselves housing. you go to church and hopefully you have friends there and see them occasionally? You sound happy and of course you can get out and make friends. here my health puts a crimp into my going out unless I can get a friend to take me places.But again you have a dog and that s just wonderful as they are great company. also you work and have coworkers who must provide a it of friendship too.

For a particular person I know its not good but for my father I see that he adapts pretty well living alone. Like what the mylotter in box one said, that is what I feel about living alone, for my father. But for me when the time comes (if I were alone and as healthy as you are) i think I would want to volunteer. I have suggested this in almost every discussion. Its just that I see no way around it.

Hi whitewingspeak, Welcome to myLot! I am glad that even you are living alone you are still happy,contented, and taking good care of yourserf well. Living alone is not bad as long as you are happy. Maybe there are times that you may feel lonely. this is normal. All you have to do is to find your hobbies that interest you. Do you like to draw? take some course in art. Do you like to exercise? walk or jogs in a park with your dog, or better yet, join a nice gym. try to get gym that offers everything you are looking for. You may be interested how to swim (its never too late to learn most things). Exercises strenghtens the mind as well as the body and takes care of a lot of stress. Maybe as time goes by you will be having some fun and activities here in myLot. You will really enjoy it. why? You learn something new, something different, a lot of information on everyday of life. I've been living alone too when i was in high school. My parents need to send me in a school where i have to rent in dormitory. What i did was just to make those things i have mentioned above, and for me living alone is a good way of having an experience of being independent. I have some tips to you. You may read bible everyday and night. It will increase your faith in God. This is one of a good opportunity to take some time to talk to God alone. May God Bless you! Welcome to MyLot! ^^,)

I don't think that living alone is a bad thing as long as you are getting sufficient human interaction. As long as you go out and do things you need to do, it is fine to be living that way if you are happy. My mom also lives alone when my sister goes to my aunt's place to babysit 24/7. I am in college, but from time to time I would visit home just to see how she is doing. She still seems relatively happy, but there are times where having someone would make you feel more comforted.

try seekers. but with MyLot you do not own life anymore. be happy mom.
