Having lived by myself for only a few short months (as opposed
to living with my parents before) I've found it to be very
satisfying.  I've always considered myself a "people" person--
meaning I *love* to meet and socialize with people the majority
of the time.  I'm spend very little time at home, but when I
do need a break or a rest from the "faster" pace, it's there.
I can choose or not choose to invite anyone in (including a SO)
depending on my mood.  I can also leave the dishes piled up and
the bed unmade, dirty laundry (and *yes*, stockings in the bathroom)
whenever I want.  Which also means that I had to develop the
responsibility to pick up after myself. (No mother there to
do it for me!).

Granted, there are a few lonely times, but it just takes a
little initiative to get out and do something to cure it
(i.e, taking night classes, working out a the health spa, or
joining a bowling league).

Living alone suits me just fine, and I find myself enjoying
the experience! :-)
