Default Is Living Alone Making You Weird?



There was an article in the New York Times
looking at how 1 in 4 American households and 1 in 2 in Manhattan now have a single occupant.

The article also talks about how living alone might lead to quirkiness, eccentricies, and general weirdness in the comfort of our own homes where we are free to be ourselves. It is being called Secret Single Behavior.

Some examples of secret single behavior would be:

~ walking around naked at 2am eating peanut butter from a jar while drinking OJ from the carton

~ unique sleep habit cycles without a routine schedule

~ weird meal habits i.e. eating the same thing for breakfast, lunch and supper (hey, it was on sale) or having doritos as a meal

~ leaving the bathroom door open (which apparently is a habit we might take with us when we visit others)

~running stuff by our pets who are notorious good listeners

~drinking champagne in the shower at 8am

~washing vegetables while showering

~playing video games for days without sleeping

~unique home only outfits

I dont know if this stuff is really the result of living alone or just people being people.

So, I'm wondering, do you have any little quirks or eccentricies that you attribute to living alone? Do you ever take them with you when visiting others?

I LOVE living alone, it's easier on everyone!!!

I think that there are definitely habits we form when living alone. Many years ago (when I had been single for several years) I would not sleep in my bed but instead slept every night on the couch. Certainly saved time making the bed in the morning lol

~ walking around naked at 2am eating peanut butter from a jar while drinking OJ from the carton
Uh, no. What would be the point? I hate drinking out of any container that has a slight bit of liquid left and someone has drank out of it directly. Can you say backwash?

~ unique sleep habit cycles without a routine schedule
Meh, i'd do that anyway, if i'm not going to work, i'm damn sure gonna sleep in.

~ weird meal habits i.e. eating the same thing for breakfast, lunch and supper (hey, it was on sale) or having doritos as a meal.
I do tend to have several favorites for breakfast, but I vary them. Never had doritos as a meal. I don't particularly like chips.

~ leaving the bathroom door open (which apparently is a habit we might take with us when we visit others)
Guilty, yeah, but not at someone else's house. Plus, four animals living here will open the door or paw at it if I even attempt privacy.

~running stuff by our pets who are notorious good listeners
I talk to my pets but then again, so does any friend who comes here, and they aren't necessarily single or living alone.

~drinking champagne in the shower at 8am
I don't drink champagne and never had the urge to have beverages in the shower. That's just doubling the risk of drowning.


~washing vegetables while showering
Uh, ew.

~playing video games for days without sleeping
Nope, I don't play video games and I wouldn't give up my sleep for anything.

~unique home only outfits
Nope. I have an ever-present possibility of a friend dropping by unannounced. I also notice if I dress grungy (when i'm sick, which is rare), it makes me feel worse.

I think I started out weird. But indeed, living alone for twelve plus years does tend to exacerbate weirdnesses.

I make up little songs about the most mundane things I am doing, and torture my animals with them. I think their favorite is the 'time to feed the girls' song!

When lounging about the house, I wear some incredibly horrible outfits. I seem to only dress half of me for the most part. I will put on a nice shirt and no pants or I will put on nice pants, but no shirt. Sometimes just boxers, boat shoes, and black T-shirt (I call this a "B" day). I just can't seem to pull an entire ensemble together.

I often sleep sideways on the bed or upside down (feet where head should be or vice versa). Just to break up the monotony.

My stovetop must be pristine, while a small spill in the fridge can languish for a couple of days. Countertops must be uncluttered, yet the kitchen island will be littered with canned food cause I like to read the labels when I eat.

I have an entire kitchen drawer designated for candy and nothing else is allowed to be in that drawer. I do not buy candy for the drawer. So it sits, never to fulfill it's destiny.

I could go on and on, but will keep the truly odd things that are me, for me.

Also - Kramer did the washing veggies in the shower thing ... that nasty man made a whole meal for other people in his shower after he installed a garbage disposal in there ..........

I can't wait to live alone. When The Boy is gone I seldom put on clothes. I already leave the bathroom door open when I know The Boy is asleep. I already wear quirky home alone outfits, I don't care, I even go out and walk the dog in it. Honey badger don't care what she looks like.

I think its human nature, not living alone. I'm sure there are folks that live alone and still get up and dress every day, shower, prepare themselves 3 meals, etc. because it's their nature to be tidy and neat.

I, personally, love my solitude. I love it when The Boy sleeps in and its just me. I'm sure i'll miss him when he's gone
maybe...not really that sure LOL I just hope he doesn't move so far I can't see him every few weeks. That would make me sad. But I would still love living alone. LOL

Thank god I am not the only one who does this. lol

Mainly my songs are *for* my dogs though, so I basically just make little songs out of their names, which they seem to love, which makes me do it more, and on and on it goes.

Let's see, wierd? Perhaps!

I usually wear T-shirts around the house ( no panties) or my oversized, white, fluffy bathrobe when alone...

Before my dogs died, I had running conversations with them-now I can't pretend that they are listening, I am plain and simple-talking to myself...

I have a king-size bed. When I sleep alone (ahem) I sleep in the middle, surrounded by pillows on all sides. When I sleep with my honey, I do eliminate the pillow fort on my right side...

More often than not, I have had cold cereal for dinner...

Bathroom door open? What is the point of closing it when you are by yourself? I do, however, close it when not alone...

This is all I care to disclose!

people who don't live alone, ... do all of these things lol. seriously. maybe lol.

all i can think of is, whether i live alone or with others, i need space. i need for certain things to be mine. and for certain things to be a certain way. like lady snow not wanting others to touch her cereal. she needs that space.

i don't think it's weird. it's just the way it is.

I would agree that I just am a bit weird, full stop; and living alone neither makes me more or less so.

I do think living alone makes me lazier though. I do chores as and when they suit me. In fact I do everything in my own time, to suit my own schedule, whims and needs - when I live alone.

I do talk to my pets. I play my music too loud and I dance about the house in my undergarments. I procrastinate mopping the floors and I allow the recycling to pile up. I fold all of my laundry but then leave it stacked in my bedroom. I'm often to be found in mismatched outfits, manky old slippers and a bit of left-over mascara smudged cross my face on weekend mornings.

And when I'm feeling particularly self-indulgent (like this morning) I return to my bed (after my dog walk): in my pajamas, with my dodgy hair, a pot of french press coffee, the back catalog of EBTG, a stack of fashion porn, my laptop propped in front of me, my iphone lit up with texts, two cats practicing the art of napping beside me, a new book and absolutely no plans nor obligations. It's quite blissful.

I also love that when I come home from a long and rough day - I can find peace and solace, a deep sense of quiet in my own space. It helps me recharge and allows me to regroup.

I was a weird little child, and I certainly didn't live alone growing up. But yeah, with no one around to modify the behaviors, my eccentricity tends to flourish.

I know every restaurant that will deliver to my house. I've ordered a pizza at 11PM just because I wanted a coca-cola.

Yes! Whenever my chihuahua rolls on his back and bends his body around in the shape of a comma, I break out into a rousing chorus of "comma comma comma comma comma chihuahua" (sung to the tune of Karma Chameleon).

And really, it seems more eccentric to close the bathroom door when you're the only one home...though maybe I'll start doing it now that I know the possible consequences.

With all of us stepping forward to admit this stuff, maybe it's not so weird after all?

I don't think living alone makes me weird.

Looking at the list of things from the article, only one fits my life and that is leaving the bathroom door open.

Personally, I think that living alone has made me perhaps less tolerant of other people's quirkiness. I tend to be very organized and living alone has made me even more so.

I do love being able to do what I please, when I please and that is hard to give up. I tend to plan my days but I can change plans at my whim. I love spending Sundays in boxers and a t-shirt while watching movies, reading a book, or whatever I feel like doing.

I love eating my meals wherever I want to, usually at my desk, and eating whatever I feel like eating, which is normally ordered in.

When I had a dog I used to talk to him all the time, throw ideas around and see what inspired me, it worked really well. I loved seeing his face move from side to side when I did that.

Living alone is great, I love my own company and to be able to come home, change into my home clothes, relax and find the zen and solace that I get being inside my own mind and in my space.

Sometimes I eat cereal out of the one of the big mixing bowls in the cupboard because:

1. I like lots of milk with my cereal
2. I don't feel like washing dishes
3. I want to.

~ walking around naked at 2am eating peanut butter from a jar while drinking OJ from the carton

At 2am I'm dead asleep... and I'm not a PB fan =P

~ unique sleep habit cycles without a routine schedule

Yup

~ weird meal habits i.e. eating the same thing for breakfast, lunch and supper (hey, it was on sale) or having doritos as a meal

I'll do that living single or not; I'm a creature of habit!

~ leaving the bathroom door open (which apparently is a habit we might take with us when we visit others)

GUILTY! Guilty as charged! Well I wanna be able to hear the voices on the TV duh!

~running stuff by our pets who are notorious good listeners

I run stuff by to my computer from time to time... does that count?

~drinking champagne in the shower at 8am

I don't like champagne... nor do I drink or eat in the shower... how can you??

~washing vegetables while showering

Yuck... NO!

~playing video games for days without sleeping

Been there, done that, got the fat to show it!


~unique home only outfits

I got that, single or not.
