Advantages Of Living Alone

Advantages and disadvantages of living alone
It is a popular saying that man is a social animal. All of us need society of other people to feel happy, however nowadays more and more people are single. There are different reasons for that, some choose to live alone and do not feel lonely, others have no alternative. Nevertheless, even those who are in relationship sometimes need some privacy andwant to be left alone with their thoughts. Living alone seems to have many advantages.
To start with, living on your own can be very comfortable since you are not dependent on anyone and you do not feel any sense of control. You can do with your time whatever you want to and do not need to explain to anyone where you are going are where you will be back. If you are not a stickler for cleanliness,you do not need to bother about keeping your things in order, tidying your room every day or doing washing-up after every meal. Another good side of living alone is the fact that you can listen to your favourite music and no one will complain that it is too loud. Moreover, the choice of TV channels you will watch depends entirely on you and you do not need to make any compromise and watch, forexample, a football match in order to have a chance to watch soap-opera later. And, being the only user of the bathroom, you can enjoy long baths or showers since no one will rush you. A very important advantage of living on your own is also the fact that you learn independence and responsibility because you must remember about paying bills on time or about doing shopping. Since there is no one youcan count on, you learn to take care of yourself.
Despite of all the advantages, living alone has also manydisadvantages. First of all, if you are an outgoing and sociable person, you may find it hard and depressing to be on your own all the time. You may soon become tired of doing everything alone and may start to miss somebody's comapany while watching TV or even eating dinner. Besides, if youdo not share your flat with anyone, there will be no one to look after you when you fall ill. In addition, you may need a friendly chat from time to time, some pieces of advice or consolation when you have some worries and a flatmate can be really helpful then. Even such simple thing as cooking is much more enjoyable if you do it with somebody or for somebody.
All things considering, it seemsobvious that living on your own have both good and bad sides. The truth is, however, that most of us need other people's society and do not want to spent the whole life alone. Therefore, at some point of our lives, we decide to partly give up our independence and to settle down and start up our own families. However, not everyone is meant to live in a relationship. Some people do not want to make anycompromise and deliberately choose to live alone.

"Living alone is more enjoyable than living with someone else"
Nowadays more people are deciding to live by themselves. Some people claim this is more enjoyable, whereas others disagree.
The main advantage of living alone is that there is nobody to tell you what to do, so you can live your life your own way. What is more, you can organise ordecorate your house as you want. There is no one else to disagree with.
On the other hand it can be quite lonely for some people. Secondly, it is more expensive because you have to pay all the rent and bills yourself, so you have less money to enjoy yourself. Last but not least, it can be hard to find a nice flat for one person so you might not be able to live in the best area.
To sum up, thereare strong arguments on both sides. In conclusion I believe that living alone is better for older people who have more money and like privacy, but not for young people, who need to share the costs.
