Meh. I live alone and can tell you from a biological standpoint it’s not healthy. People have to be around others because we are hardwired for it. Loneliness is more destructive than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, and that’s a hardwired consequence you can’t get around with your worldview and moral outlook. Those who live alone live shorter lives on average.
Yup, people live alone and think it’s fine but they don’t realize that it’s making their mental health sooooo much worse than i could be if they had people around them.
My ideal is to live in a dorm-style area, where you have a minimal apartment to be alone in and then most other things are communal so it’s easy to balance the need for privacy with the need for human contact.
