When we are still children, we often dream of growing up and becoming totally independent. Sometimes living among people is hard, especially if you are misunderstood by them.

To avoid conflicts is easy when you live alone. Being on your own is not scary at all. It does not means that you will feel abandoned and neglected. It merely means that there will be nobody to control you. It might feel weird to be all alone in an apartment. Nevertheless, you will soon get used to that feeling and will even like it. Only when you are your own boss can you fully get to know yourself. This is when you can allow yourself to be free and do what you feel like doing without asking for others’ permission and advice. These are 7 things you will experience when you start living on your own:

1. Being alone does not equal being lonesome
Living alone is by no means boring! You are not supposed to isolate yourself from the society. Keep communicating with people. Invite your friends over. Visit your family and hang out with people you like. You can choose to live alone. However we do not choose to be lonely. Those are two different things you should never consider to be the same.

2. You constantly talk to yourself
Do not worry if you talk to yourself. You are not insane. This is what all of us do when we stay on our own. This habit might become stronger once you start living alone. If you do this to fill the silence, another thing that might work is to have the radio in the background, some quiet music and so on. If these are not enough we suggest having a pet.
