Staying alone

I have heard this conversation with most of my friends and i keep getting the same answer. Why do people stay alone either in a flat or town house....For sure some people are thinking what is the question here? Because if you are not married you should staying alone. The real question is staying alone as nice as people make us to believe?

I have posed this question to other people before, and the answer i got was that, it is good sometimes because you get your space...you know sometimes you just wanna be alone, i suppose we all have those moments. But then what if you want company?. This other friend of mine was saying when you are staying alone you phone bill is likely to be high, because everytime you wanna share something you have to call someone, if you are watching TV, listening to Radio, paging a magazine..if you wanna share what you have just read, seen, heard you have to call. The last time to speak to someone is at 4.30 at work when you say Bye to colleagues, when you get to the house, its quiet and lonely.

It becomes worse if you don't have a BF or GF because in a weekend it is possible that none of your friends thinks of calling you, maybe because they are busy....so this means if no-one calls you in that weekend you will be quiet from Friday afternoon until Monday morning. Shuuuu

Is this true guys? i wanna hear your views

I really doubt it. I think people who live alone are more inclined to have a more hectic social life than say people who live with their other people. So the idea that they will be quiet for an entire weekend is unlikely as they'll be out and about, meeting friends for breakfast, going out for a movie with this or that person, dinner, parties, braais, gym, holidays...
So...yah, it is unlikely that people will be quiet for an entire weekend.

That could be true, only if you have a social life, but what if you do not have the social life....the kind that like staying indoors...doesn't like crowd?

i think it could be easy for ppl that don't have a social life to not talk to anyone all weekend...
i know ppl like that...

all my life, i've always lived with someone,i am rarely alone...so i think that would be quite an adjustment for me...but i think i should try it...

I sooooooo not want to try it Sunshine. I can't imangine myself staying alone hey. I suppose as Heartwarmer mentioned earlier it does give one space to do his/her things...get around and jol

It can be stressful if you dont have much people to see and prefer keeping to yourself.

Toto, you once mentioned that those who stay alone are bound to suffer from depression. I think that was true, unless one has social life.

Its good though, because you never have anyone getting into your world, you get peace whenever you need it and if you want company you do as Heartwarmer says::::go out and meet people.

I seem to agree to disagree, i mean you get those who love thier space...(Like me)...At times people just seem to be some how on my space (I don't know how to explain this but I'll try). Don't get me wrong, i love people, i love to chat, but 80% i prefer to be alone, it must be some kind of character.
