Living alone

scotty_irish

Do you live alone? Or have you ever? I live with three others but have had the place to myself the last five weeks. Thought I would hate being alone, get depressed, but I f*cking love it! So do you live alone and do you like it? Do you want to live alone?

Chris P. Bacon

Yes i love my own space, wouldn't be able to live with other people again.

I lived alone for nearly 4 years. I loved it. Do what you like without having to check with anyone.
Am moving back home next week. And I am not looking forward to it!

I lived alone once and I loved it. I loved the freedom, the independence and not having to deal with people telling me what I can and cannot do! Then again I have shared places with people and enjoyed that too, I liked the bit of company but can get a bit much if personalities/interests/values clash.

I like my own space and being on my own and being independent but I also like company like so like a mixture of both worlds but I do like my own company as well.

3 teenagers 10 feet away playing CODBO, daughter watching some reality shyte in the room next door, and the missus is apping away on her iphone- living alone is just a distant dream.

Recluse!

I have been living alone for the last 8 months.

I see Tipperary are favourites for the All-Ireland, Lar Corbett was awesome in The Munster Final and I cant see them bet.

What does bog-ball have to do with living alone?

Oh_Noes

I been living alone for two years now and never did before. I love it and I hate the thoughts of having to live with people again in the future.

The annoying thing about it is that you're paying 100% of all the bills yourself

Extended living alone time = social skills and conversation fail. The other guy, not you TZ.

Jesus no need for that, I said I was sorry.

I've done it all.
Lived at home with the parents(obviously).
Lived in a houseshare(nightmare).
Lived alone(lonely when things go bump in the night).
Living with fiance(chef/ cleaner).

I think I'd live out of the car before I'd go back to the parents or houseshare.

First rule of living alone club is don't talk about living alone club. But the second rule is....tap into neighbours' gas, water, electric, sky TV, broadband. Then tap into his wife.

My social skills degraded so badly from living alone that I was too anxious when filling in the application form for living alone club. I just went back to eating beans from the can in my underpants at 4am while listening to S-Club 7 very loudly.

you weren't perhaps on the train to kerry there two weeks ago? there was a bloke behind who I was convinced had GAA tourettes.

no matter what the guy beside him brought up it ended up back at the GAA... thought I was going to stab the c*nt before I got off it.

being able to wake up and swan around the apartment in my underpants after a shower until mid afternoon is one of lifes great pleasures.

Ah Brendan, will you stop saying Jesus anyway.
It scares folks round here.
And hurling is a team sport so you can't live alone and play hurling.
Unless you play with other people who you don't live with.
And never be in a hurry to post, it's cool, take your time :pac::pac:

WRT the OP, it's ok living alone if that is what you want, but if you want to live with someone but can't, then it's sh1t

If you really want to live alone do a Walden (Thoreau) on it..

Don't need to live on your own to do that.

djPSB

Living with other people is grand as long as they have the same values and are on the same wavelength.

Living with dry, quiet, unsociable zero craic, annoying, pessimistic people is death.

Ah Zo, be nice, every now and then a deer strays into the headlights, all pert and innocent. Don't speed up on Bambi:D

Yep, have lived alone for the last few years, and I love it. Come and go as I please, I can wander around nekkid waiting for my fake tan to dry (though I spare the neighbours and close the curtains) and I can have porridge for din dins and watch Keeping up with the Kardashians without being judged by anyone!!!

Seriously though, I spend my day with people, and I have to talk a lot. Coming home to silence is bliss!

While we're having a brief detour - Donegal are going to win the All Ireland football 2011.

I wouldn't mind living alone for a while but wouldn't want to indefinitely.

YoureSoVain

Live alone. Not sure I could have anyone live with me in future. They might touch stuff and move stuff and not understand the "system" ! And I would have to sleep in the night and do housework in the day and not vice -versa!

I really REALLY like living alone but I like having 3 strangers pay my mortgage for me more.

--LOS--

always think it would be good to live alone after my fair share of annoying housemates. But I do often end up alone in between people moving out etc, the house does creep me out a little when I'm alone Come to think of it I've been alone for the past 2 months now, there's less clothes and more talking to myself

admiralofthefleet

i did for nearly a year

Krieg

Yep, loved it!
Trying to find a 1 bed apt again but prices and quality are a joke

ronano

I'm living alone now,im 20 minutes from the city which is great but really shouldn't factor into it.

+

can be lazy/a dirtbag
nice being able to just close door and be shut off

-

gets lonely sometimes

The missus stays over which tis lovely,i'd rather live with her though than alone but when we've got a bit of cash not to have the stress and strain.

annascott

Living alone is bliss. You can watch whatever you want on tv without being interrupted, read in a silent environment, no one makes mess or moves your stuff and best of all, you get to sleep without someone making noise and waking you up.

If you want company. invite friends over to stay.

The only negative thing that I found was that I was too spooked to watch horror films on my own...

kfallon

Lived alone for a few months, loved it. Guy who moved n to share the gaff now goes home every weekend so I love my Friday, Saturday and Sunday cos I have the place to myself.

If I could live on my own for the rest of my life I'd be happy

Caraville

I can't WAIT to live on my own.

I'm renting out a room in my house and the moment & the person renting from me is perfectly lovely, friendly, neat, always pays bills & rent on time etc. But I just want my house to be mine ALONE. I want to come home and totally switch off. Financially though I'll have to hold on til nearer to the end of the year I'd say.

Some people have said to me "Ah sure having someone renting is a bit of company for ya, isn't it nice". Well no, no it isn't- I'm a very sociable person, have lots of friends and a lovely family- but when I'm at home in my own house I love just switching off and being answerable to no one but me.

Roll on alone time!

I love living alone but instead of this I rent out the three spare rooms in my house and the rental income covers my mortgage.

I would prefer to live alone, really I would but I can't financially at the mo'.

I'd get by financially with just one renter, but in for a penny, in for a pound and all that. i discovered that if you are going to pick teabags out of the sink and scrub other peoples shitty skidmarks off the bowl of the jacks anyway, you might as well be making a decent bit of money from it.

i yearn for the days of a warm fire and the TV to myself though.

I've lived alone since May 2008. I love it, no cleaning up other people's mess, no interruptions, freedom to do as you please. It gets very lonely at times though, that's the downside.

I see what you did there - you ever-so-cleverly replaced the word for a fast-paced, decent sport with a derogatory term......go you!

I bet you can't even bring yourself to use the word "soccer", would I be right? Despite every other country in the world using the word football to describe their national football game - Aussie, American, Canadian, etc - and using soccer to refer to, well, soccer.

Lived alone for about 9 months last year. I wouldnt be the biggest people person in the world and like my own space a lot. But to my surprise I rather living with people.

Show Time

I have been on my own four years now and love it. The fact i am in my front room naked as i post is one of the many advantages of living alone.
