I lived alone for my senior year in college. One bedroom apt, gas and water included. I miss those days. That was my happiest year.

I've never had the opportunity, but I really want to. Sometimes I research prices for apartments to rent and important items for a house, everything is very expensive of course, that's why I haven't gone yet.

I'm 30 and still live with my mom with her controlling absolutely everything, from finances to where I go and when, haha

I haven’t, I really wish I could experience it. I have two roommates and as lovely as they are, I’m majorly autistic and get overstimulated so easily. I feel like I would fall into bad habits if I was alone, though.

If you live alone, enjoy it the best you can. I was kicked out soon after I turned 18 and I lived alone for the first few years before I met my husband. The freedom was nice but I was kinda poor and lived in a shitty place at the time and that made it so not worth it. Maybe it would've felt better in a different situation. Thankfully I'm in a much nicer place now. Since we've been living together we've rarely spent a day or more apart but our schedules are kind of different so I get just a few hours each day alone. While I prefer having someone around to help with stuff and of course having more money, maybe this is selfish but tbh I wish I could have more alone time than I get. I love him but he is like a constantly active person always making noise and doing annoying distracting things while I usually am just trying my best to chill out and focus on something. Dude can't even be still or quiet when he is asleep. Also I enjoy the feeling of pure freedom being able to watch, listen to, or do whatever weird stuff I want without judgement. This is a tiny apartment and there is like no privacy. I wouldn't give up my relationship for anything but I wouldn't mind a day out of every week being by myself if it were an option.

My roommates all cancelled their rental agreements early and I lived alone for 4 months. It was terrifying and lonely. I ended up renting from a guy who had just bought the house and wanted a roommate to help pay the bills. It's nice and he lets me decorate things how I want. We take turns watering the yard, where I can plant whatever I want, and he grows hydroponic vegetables, which is nice. It's kind of like having a live-in celibate boyfriend, because we cook and eat together, watch tv/movies together, carpool together and now share the same friends, so we go out with them together.

I usually preferred to live alone but I like living with my husband because he's understanding to my need for quiet and calm. Other than that, every other living situation I've had was hell.
