Living on Your Own and AloneHow to handle and cope with living on your own. Tips for staying home alone and coping with living alone. Many independent and career minded single women choose to live alone because they like the privacy and can afford the expenses of living alone. But some women who have lost their spouses through death or divorce, or that their children have left home, may find that it is not a situation they prefer. According to a survey, one-person households will increase in years to come because women will outlive their spouses and children will leave the nest. Women who suddenly find themselves living alone may find it difficult to cope and adjust. The fear of being alone, eating alone, feeling alone or even dying alone may be lurking in their minds. The other common concerns are their safety and security and living alone expenses. There are pros and cons and advantages and disadvantages of living on your own and alone. Some of the advantages of living alone are having plenty of peace, quiet and privacy. And you develop personal responsibility and become independent. You learn to do things and handle many of life's challenges on your own. Living alone for the first time especially after being with someone for many years isn't going to be easy. It will hurt initially. You will feel lonely, alone and lost. That's normal. But once you learn to live through the phase, adjust and adapt, you will begin to enjoy living on your own. All the advantages don't mean anything to people who have not made the transition. They may feel lonely, isolated or unloved. They might also feel bored and afraid. Here are some tips on coping with living alone and how to live alone so that you can find happiness and joy.
If you still can't handle it especially the cost of living alone, maybe you may want to consider finding a roommate who will share the living expenses such as rent. If loneliness and the fear of being alone is your major issue, get someone such as a relative or a friend to move in and live with you. Your CommentsWhat do you think? Share it!
