Hi Everyone
I live alone, completely alone, although I do have one relative who lives a 5 minute walk away and a dog.
I find some aspects of living alone challenging but at the same time I'm in this situation because I chose it and because of a few circumstances that arose over the last few years that mean I haven't formed connections as well as I might have done (bereavement was a biggie and there were some other issues).
When I look around the internet to find groups of people like myself, I don't find them. So I'm grateful for this forum! I also want to be positive in my life and not down in the dumps about being alone. I think people should be able to talk about how they're feeling, etc, and how much of a challenge it can be, of course, but I also want to feel good about my life, not view it as sad or wrong. I think half of the problem with being alone is thinking that it's a problem. So I'm looking for people, groups of people who, while recognising the challenges and being supportive/sympathetic, also see the upside to being alone.
Does anyone here live alone? What are the downsides and the upsides? I'd love to connect with anyone who wants to aim towards positivity.
