Do you ever wish you lived alone?

Post Reply New Topic

I often fantasize about it....very frequently, in fact...

Married 3 times, 3 other long term commitments, dozens and dozens of shorter term relationships. I finally realized (before diagnosis) that there are far worse things than being alone - like sharing living space with other humans.

I do live alone by choice and cannot imagine being content any other way.

I personally cannot be responsible for the emotional well being of another person.

I can barely maintain my own sanity, without upholding that of another.

Humans are great for sex and sometimes as friends. They (or I ) suck for long term intimate companionship.

Hooray for those whose experiences may vary.

I am currently renting a room but my landlady is not around most of the time, but Id like to buy my own house with a decent yard when I finish college.I like the idea of having my own house and doing whatever I please without worrying about annoying others.I will then also be able to place stuff where I please, fly whatever flag I choose to fly, and play musical instruments without making others irritated by my music.

Don't people with an ASD live alone no matter who's around them?

At the monment i live with my parents but i would prefer to live on me own as i would have more personal space and wouldn't have to listen to my parents arguing.

Not all the time, there's a couple of members that I know of that lives with their husbands/wifes... Some of them live with their parents still even after the age of 18 onwards... So it just depends really on how they live their lifestyle

I live with my parents still.... yet im still considering getting a place of my own, the thing is that I also want to avoid is the bills, etc.

I actually do live alone and have for many years. I prefer it this way. I never, ever think about giving that up. I have my own apartment that is 30% of my income. all utilities except for phone, cable, and Internet is paid. my income is disability. That is not much. But I get by. I'm actually able to pay my own bills and buy my own food. On top of having (AS) I also have the physical disability. And in a wheelchair. but I still get by, very good. And I'm proud of myself for that.

Oh, yes. It's always been my dream to live on Solaria, on a HUGE estate, with no other human being, and only robots seeing to the housework and everything. I guess you could say I'd be happy as a hermit.

just to have robots.... I would wish they did actually invent that so that I don't have to do the chores, now theres a thing, water and electricity do not mix! now that really sucks...

Unless they could just do waterproof robots that would cheer me up alot

Kryten from Red Dwarf springs to mind.

perfect, they should make more of those I love watching that
Maybe tons of Kryton should make my own place feel like home, but it would kinda be freaky at the same time.

that it would.

I live with my family but i would like my own place, just for peace and quiet mainly.

That was one of the main reasons I wanted to live alone...

i have always lived alone. even when i was a child and resided in the same house as my parents...i lived alone.

now i live alone in a house by myself in bushland, and there are no neighbors, and i never hear machinery or cars or voices where i live.
i only hear the sounds of birds and insects, and i hear the breeze rustle up the trees, and i am very content.

i still live alone, but do it in isolation and solitude now.

by "alone", i mean "without human company" and not "without any living company".
if there was no other life on earth but me, i would not like it to an extreme extent. i would wilt to nothing rapidly and lose my will to live.

It would of drove me mad if it was just me on earth... i would think it was a cool thing at first but then it would of drove me mad because then I would have nothing to do and nobody would be on the internet as its just me on earth
But living your lifestyle, it would make me happier. living happily ever after, living by the beach

there would be no reason to think or be if i was the only living thing in the solar system.
my consciousness of life would seem like a mistake, and i would believe i was deluded and i would withdraw into a lassitude of non commitment to what i was seeing, and i would let myself die.
if there was even one little bird alive in the world with me, i would live for as long as it did.
it is a seriously eerie thought to imagine being a (miraculously generated) life placed in a universe where life does not exist.
the irreconcilable futility of my life would be the reason i wish to return to the unconscious and unassembled elements that comprise my fabric (die that is).



i do not live near a beach. i live about 1,000 ft above sea level, and my house is about 9 miles from a beach.
i do not like beaches that much.
i prefer forests ("bushland" as we call it).
