Are you scared to live on your own?

[marieelissa]

Anyone live by themselves on here? I could never live on my own, I would have to get some pets.

I live alone (by choice) marieelissa.  I'm in an out so much a pet would be neglected.  Also, when I travel, would have to find someone to care for said pet.  My home is nice for entertaining, but just a place to really lie my head, clean up and eat.

I like having my space, and the freedom to come and go.  If I want to stay up all night and study or something, I do it without offending anyone else.  How else can I plan a trip to a foreign country for 3-6 months at a time?  A husband would not put up with that.  Next thing ya know, his laundry and stuff has to take priority. I like being single, and independent.

Yes I am !!!! Some people can live on their own I would go crazy I get lonely I guess, my parents are pushing me to move out and go away from school but I want to be a commuter I just dont want to be alone

I'm not scared to live alone but I prefer not to. I need "someone" around even if it's just a pet. Outside of my family and the few close friends that I have I have a tendency to be antisocial so it's really kind of funny that I would want someone around all the time.

What I mean by a tendency to be antisocial is that while I can be friendly and outgoing if given the choice between a crowded breakroom of people that I'm only acquainted with vs an empty room and a novel I'm going to take the empty room with the novel every time!

Not scared but I would have to have the tv or radio on just to eliminate the errie silence.

[kittyspams]

To live alone would be okay for maybe couple of days.
But after that, it gets too quiet, and I prefer living with someone/roommate.
And I would have kitties and doggies and hamsters.

I have never had the chance to live alone.  Sometimes I think it would be nice.

I have live alone, now I have a dog,but I was not afraid to live alone,she just stole my heart. As long as you take certain precautions, you should be fine.

So is having a pet not living alone?

I can live alone but that can be very lonely. My daughter is definitely afraid to live by herself I don't why she's like that.

[edominik]

No, but a pet makes a great companion.  Also when you hear a noise in the night, you can always tell yourself it is the cat!

I live alone and often refer to my house as "the fortress of solitude". I do have a couple of dogs. My work schedule is such that it's hell on having a social life. Working nights wed-sat 12 hour shifts, really isn't conducive to meeting anyone special and that's ok. I've gotten so used to it that to add another person would just disrupt everything. I know I'm weird.

I lived alone for 12 years of my adult life, and I always had at least one cat to welcome me home. Now I have a husband, whom I vastly prefer to cats.

It's quite fun if you have friends that like to hang out randomly. My old place was practically treated like Seinfeld's apartment. But I notice a trend nowadays where people tend to live at home for a long while and then move out once they decide to get married or move in with a significant other. Ain't nothin' wrong with that considering it's quite practical on a worldly scale.

I'm not scared to live alone, but it would be nice to have someone "special" there.
