Hmmm.....not sure. If I spent most of my day outside and got enough socialization with other people, then MAYBE, I could live alone.......IF I had pets. I don't think I'd *like* to live alone though. Sometimes, I need someone to talk to. Sometimes I need a shoulder to cry on. I know that with the internet now, I could always log onto PT and talk to my PT friends , but its not the same as having someone with you in person. I can't see myself ever living alone and being happy. I live with my parents and brother now, and in the future, hopefully I'll get married and live with my husband/future kids. I just don't think I'm the type of person who could LIVE alone. I do enjoy my *alone time* when my family goes out, and I could probably handle a few days alone and enjoy it, but to *live* alone, always, is something I doubt I could handle. I NEED people. I would probably lose my mind if I was all alone for life,.....even if I had pets. I love it when my family goes out and I get to be alone during the day, but when night falls, I need them back.
