Currently sitting on my little balcony in my boxer briefs and sleeveless tee. Eating pretzels for breakfast. Last friday I had bbq peanuts for dinner.

Living alone is making me more amazing!! I love it!!

Yes, I don't always clean the dishes right away, or pick up the clothes on the floor... But who cares!? It's my decision!! :-D

kinda sorta and kinda sorta not

it makes me see why i stay away from a lot of people
it makes me enjoy the close knit circle i do have

but most of all.. it's showed me i can be alone and do anything and everything i set my mind to and that i really never needed anyone... but myself..

ksrainbow · 07-29-2014, 05:29 PM

Weird or not, I am very content and selfishly enjoy sharing my own space and solitude!

Since the Brutal One is driving his big orange truck all over creation and is only home 5 days every six weeks, technically I'm living alone.

I've always been a little weird but my goodness, I think I'm crossing some sorta weird line.

My OCD is getting worse. I caught myself talking to my kitchen the other day. Yes, my kitchen....I constantly have full on conversation with our animals. Which I did before but now I answer for them

I've found myself doing all kinds of new weird things that kinda give me pause.

Although I also just started going through the "change" so I'm not sure if it's being all alone in this house with a bunch of four legged creatures, or hormones.

I hope I don't fall farther into the crazy cat lady mode I seem to be heading towards.

I don't know, but my wonderful world of solitude is coming to a crashing halt soon.

this thread has made me think about this question more than i normally would consider a topic..

i am wondering if living alone makes me weird while i am alone?

ie talking to myself, walking around the house nude, eating over the sink, singing to myself or talking to the fur babies...

or does living alone make me weird when i am around others?

ie...any socially awkward behavior...

or...a little bit of both?

Sweet Bliss · 07-30-2014, 08:14 PM

I will soon find out....

cricket26 · 08-02-2014, 08:03 AM

ok so i am obsessed with this thread...forgive me...it must be from living alone...haha...i have a question...if you act weird and you are alone...is it really weird?

or is it like when a tree falls in forest and no one is there can you hear it?

just sayin....

p.s. i am not alone as much anymore as my kids are here with me and i spend time at the hunny bunnys apartment

Happy_Go_Lucky · 08-02-2014, 08:31 AM

But But But.... one of the perks of living alone.

stargazingboi · 08-02-2014, 09:10 AM

It's been a couple years since I lived alone, but I remember it well. I'm not sure if my behavior was actually weird. I mean, why would I close the door to the bathroom...it's not like anyone is there, did I really require additional privacy from my walls or dogs? The same goes with walking around naked (Although, I didn't do that much...I was more of a A Shirt and boxers kind of guy).

I think living alone allows people to fully be who they are without concern of judgment and social politeness (meaning: clothes are required when certain folks are around and germs are not cool to share unless engaging in certain activities)

By the looks of this thread it seems certain behavior is shared by many...so, to me that would be common behavior not weird.

Now, that being said...I have been told for many years that I am eccentric (the polite term for weird). I have habits...I lived with a very strict schedule and in many ways it was ritualistic...this created a calm for my brain and soul. I am still that way on many levels...in my brain I create a schedule for the day and I stick to it unless I absolutely have to veer from it. I have a lot of "quirky" behavior that when others view them raise an eyebrow or make comments. I personally don't find them quirky...but it seems others do because they don't understand the reason behind it.

It's all perspective really...I have lived a different life, with different cultures etc. I meditate, I work out, I pray, I eat certain foods and food combinations because my life experiences. Those things alone could cause someone from a different back ground to view me as weird.

So, am I really weird? and if so was it truly created by my living alone? Maybe, living alone just gave me the room to develop the true me?

Hmmm it's much like the old question: which came first the chicken or the egg?

I may never know...

cinnamongrrl · 11-10-2014, 06:25 AM

easy:

NO...I was already strange to begin with

and I am SOOO ok with that!

does that make any sense at all?
