I love being alone mainly because I have so much freedom and I feel totally relaxed when im home alone and its such a great and wounderful feeling plus it is exiting to be home alone. I would like to have my own apartment someday but there just to expensive and I dont make enough money to be able to pay for the rent which I hope to get one soon.

I do love staying at home by myself. I can do whatever I want, I can eat whatever I crave for, I have all the time for whatever I fancy doing. What I don't want being alone at home is the fact that there are nobody else to share the happiness we experienced. Also, there are no one else to talk to and that makes loneliness and boredom magnified. Don't worry @cha. You will soon get used to this. But if you really are not that comfortable yet, try to have some family or relative or friend sleep over or visit you from time to time.

No, I would be fine if my hubby just leaves for work everyday but not for a long trip, I didn't feel alright anyway at the beggining living with him when he went to work until we got the dog then I have company and I can "talk" to him, I feel better.

I know how you feel, it is really difficult to live alone, especially when you are sick and nobody could take care of you. Well, in some cases we have to make necessary choices especially when it comes to financial needs and our love ones must go somewhere to find some money... As for me, I live alone and its really hard.. So what I do is that I go to mall sometime, spend my time in the internet like posting discussions in mylot and a lot more. Have your friends invited too in your house sometime.. it will also help you with your boredom being alone and someone that you could talk to... always keep in touch with your husband so that both of you will still feel secure.. -thanks by "batman"

Hi itsme_cha! I used to live with my parents and brother as well and I've never lived alone since I went from my parents house to my own house with my hubby and baby. If it were me I would be a little scared but as long as my doors and windows are locked during the night and I had my bible right next to me I would be fine. Happy MyLotting!

i love to be alone at home because when alone, i'm feeling quite comfortable without my parents nagging aroud.when alone, i will be able to enjoy a cup of coffee or a instructive book,which will refresh myself.so i want more time to be alone at home though it is not easy because there are 4 people in my collage dorm.

hi there, i know how you feel. i freak out when im alone really even for just a day. however i have experience being alone since childhood and being alone is the least thing i want to happen to myself. so what i do i just keep on the TV on so that i will feel that there is someone in the house beside myself and if not the TV maybe the radio too. if that doesnt work, just call a friend (girl) ofcourse your husband will kill me if i suggest a guy! to company you. and it would also be nice to have a hobby like crocheting or simply reading? goodluck gurl! happy mylotting!

It would be tough knowing that you are used to having companion at home most of the time and all of the sudden you will be all alone for some days of the week. Just make sure that you keep the house under lock and keys to prevent bad people from intruding while you are all alone. Well you will get used to the set up. If I am to be alone at home I will surely be afraid but it is a matter of getting used to it.

I like to stay alone for two days maximum. I have habit of staying with my parents and will always stay with them. Well when some event is there at my native place or due to some emergency work sometimes my parents have to go to our native place in hurry and during that period I have stayed alone at my place. It was nice experience because I was the king of my house free to do whatever I want. Just few movies then TV and eating whatever I want just ordering it.

Im used to be alone in our home. My parents always go to their works and my siblings go to school. And though i felt lonely, i used to manage my self and make comfortable for me. I have a computer to keep me busy. I do some stuffs like chatting, surfing, playing games and others. i know you will overcome your loneliness just think of anything that will keep you busy. Take care....
