  People approach you when you/re eating alone? I can barely get the waiter to come back. 🤣🍵

  Preferable to having a bunch of fake, lying, one foot in-one foot out "friends" around tbh. Peace is priceless.

  I genuinely have no IRL friends. I’m autistic so I guess that explains half of it. Being alone is cool when it’s voluntary, but being alone against your will genuinely sucks. I think people conflate loneliness and being alone a lot but I think that’s the distinction for me. It’s a matter of will/agency or whatever. Also, I TOTALLY understand the feeling of alienation in crowds b/c the experience often underscores all the things I am missing and want, which reinforces the desire to be alone. It’s a vicious cycle lol

  I was raised to aim for " a room of one's own". I got it.

  I’ve always loved &nbsp;living and being alone. &nbsp;I’m currently living alone in the city. &nbsp;☺️<br>It’s so peaceful, my time and space are completely mine , and I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. &nbsp;<br><br>It was quite stigmatized while I was growing up, so it’s nice that it’s more normalized now, and other people are realizing how nice it is.

  As a disabled individual. I enjoy watching living alone vlogs as having a disability is very lonely and isolating and it is nice to watch people live comfortably and cosily. I would like to mention two living alone channels I really enjoy. &nbsp;One is morenikeji vlogs. She is from Nigeria and as someone from the UK &nbsp; who is told Africa is impoverished, &nbsp;it&quot;s nice seeing a person live a cosy normal life. The second is plan :D &nbsp;I love her solo camping videos as she is hyper-organised and very good at planning and executing day trips

  Having roommates is the worst. I would rather be with my Parents if I could not afford to live alone.

  I love it. Being around people or living with people is SO overrated.😅 yes from time to time, a nice time with people is cool. But for the most part, people are a trip. Takes more energy than it gives, for the most part imo.

  I wish I could live alone. Our country has a problem with too many jobs and enough houses for the crap economy of the 70&apos;s and 80&apos;s. So now, an apartment might go up once in a while, and 200 people are viewing it. There should not be anything wrong with living alone, we should aspire to it. <br><br>Also, I do see loads of Chinese and Japanese female YouTubers making videos about living alone. Very satisfying videos. And I am envious of Chinese apartments costing a few hundred a month. Lonlimness sounds nice. Been stuck living for affordability from people you go out of your way to avoid sucks. Like, can I use the kitchen now etc...

  I&apos;d love it if these people who can afford to live alone would start making content about what they do to be able to afford such a luxury!
