Do You Like Being Alone?
How many times do
you just want to be left alone and do you wish that you live in a place where
no one knows you, and you have no responsibility at all. In this modern world,
sometimes we feel stressed, overwhelmed, and tired, and we tend to have a
desire to be alone. Therefore, people in our society have a tendency to live
alone. Emily Alpert (2013) said "living alone made up more than 27%
of American households last year — a marked increase over the 17% who did so in
1970." However, I believe that either living alone or with others have
both advantages and disadvantages.
To begin, if we
examine the situation of living alone, we will find that People who live alone have
the full control of their life. They have the
freedom to do whatever they want without consulting or considering anybody. In
addition, they enjoy their personal space, privacy, and self-realization. In contrast, there are some negative sides of
living alone such as the financial burden in terms of the rent and grocery.
On the other hand,
living with others like friends or family has several gains, too. People in
this condition are supported emotionally and financially by their family or
friends. In addition, they feel much more safe and secure. However, every
position has its own pros and cons. In this case, the cons will appear in the
lack of control and privacy in some aspects.
To
sum up, both living by yourself or with company have their benefits and drawbacks.
What this shows is that the best choice for any person is depends on his personality,
preference, and priority.
