I live alone, too. You get used to the peace and quiet of being by yourself. You appreciate your freedoms of not having to negotiate with a spouse or roomate over what to watch on tv, what to eat, and cleaning. You don't have to share the bathroom, a big plus!

I thought it would kill me when I first started living alone, and even now there are times when I'm sick or scared that I wish I was not alone, but for the most part, it's a good thing.
