Do you think that everyone should experience living alone?

Question

Are there any benefits to it? Can someone learn anything about themself by doing it?

Answer 1

It's the ultimate goal of a married man, and will never again be possible, so enjoy it.

Answer 2

Definitely there are many benefits and add to full enjoyment of life! The more we experience the better it is! If we live only in a palace, without work, etc., we would not learn life and what good is about it? Similarly living alone makes us more organized and appreciate what we would not learn otherwise!
Of course for everything there are proper times! A baby might not even survive if lived alone! A person who is not ready might suffer more than the lessons received, etc. When the proper time comes, it is a great move!

Answer 3

When you live alone you are thinking of what you want and not live by thinking of the other first all the time, a way most live by when coupled.
I live alone and can't imagine ever wanting to live with somebody again, through choice and loving the fact I haven't got to devote all my time to him. I now do what I want without having to consider him. I work around my children needing my time, wanting my time and it is the time I would probably be with a man, in front of TV etc.....men are too time consuming, lol
You learn to discover your own dreams and hopes and not having to divide it between his too although before I was only living his.
I already knew myself well when I was with him, I just didn't live for me........something we learn to do when live a lone.
I'd recommend people live alone, it makes them stronger. If I had lived alone when younger I may not have feared being alone when older. It was something that stopped me going it alone years before when should have. My own fear was being able to be the same strong person I was when together. He was my weakness and I created my own fear and was too weak to face my fear. There really was nothing to fear but the fear itself because it was the best thing I could have done.
Funny how it took so god damn long to discover that, lol but if had lived alone when younger I wouldn't have had the path I took which I gained 7 beautiful children from so no regrets

Answer 4

By living alone and therefore away from family, one gets to taste freedom at its best.One becomes independant, learns new things and becomes self reliant.its a learning experience contributing to growth.However, it is when one is away from home that one values the importance of all the caring and sharing that home has to offer.It also teaches us not to take relationships forgranted.So, one should experience staying alone.

Answer 5

OH< YES !!!! you need the time to learn to pay your bills and learn to be responsible.. and be able to budget, and know how to survive by yourself.. most people go from home, to marriage, and never learn to do for themselves, and do not know how to cook, or clean, or do laundry, or even write a check for themselves. everyone should be out on their own for at least a year, no room mate, nothing, before getting married, or getting a room mate.. just is a fact of life of growing up, and learning to budget your money.. I did it, and it made me grow up pretty fast.. I did not even open up a checking account, I had an envelope for each bill, and every pay day I put in so much money for each bill, and when that bill came due, I had the money to pay it... did not eat some days, but my bills were paid.. and it was great.. had a one bedroom apartment, and paid $75 for a whole living room full of furniture, really ugly furniture, but it was mine, and I was on top of the world, but I worked for what was mine, and it felt good.. I was out on my own for 2 years before I got married and it sure helped up set up a budget and be able to stick to it and save money and be able to get the things that we wanted out of life.. good luck... been married 31 years now...

Answer 6

Definately. One learns so much about themselves when they have to live daily-life experiences. Countless benefits, depending on each individual. My boarding school experiences really taught me to value things and people for themselves and not for personal or selfish benefits.It's a great experience

Answer 7

Yes ! We are alone in this world born n die alone.SO live it up.Living alone is a great experience ,knowing yourself your inner soul .It is an experience to be .It is the fact of our lives.What we will learn from it is the fact and will value life much more than otherwise.

Thanks you

Answer 8

i live alone and i can honestly say it's been the highlight of my life. i gained so much insight about myself from doing it. i grew up a lot...became more mature...and i started to understand and appreciate my mother and family a lot more. of course i still go over there a lot and help out...i even work over there to take some of the load off of them...but i always have my quiet little apartment to come back to. it is truly a great experience. :)

Answer 9

I've lived alone for many years. I have learned to be a more reflective, humble person. I have been able to be myself and not rely on other people to create my self-esteem. Being alone, I did a lot of reading. Being alone, I became a more sensitive soul. It makes you know yourself.

Answer 10

Well now that I'm married with children, I can tell you one thing, there are a LOT of times when I wish it was just me again.
I could come and go as I please, watch whatever I wanted to on TV, lounge around all day, if I wanted, go to Wal-Mart anytime of the day or night, just like I used to. Oh my, those were the good ole days!!
My advice, try it you might like it, I know I did, but I just didn't realise it at the time. lol

Answer 11

You can learn a lot about yourself by living alone.

When you are living with another person, you constantly have to adapt your behavior to be able to get along with them.

When you live alone, you have a much better chance of getting to know who you are, and who you really want to be.

The risk though, is that you are likely to get very addicted to being who you want to be, rather than who other people want you to be.

This decreases your chances of being a good living-mate.
