As someone who lives alone (and loves it) I often have to deflect comments from others such as "Aren't you lonely?" or "wow, that would drive me crazy." In a world that seems to be so obsessed with the idea of coupledom it can be really difficult for people to understand that I have never equated alone with lonely and that there are many things I actually prefer doing alone (museums, shopping, exploring new places). In a way, I see it as a sign that I am comfortable enough with myself and that I actually like myself enough to be able to handle it.
Which is why I was excited when I found this video on YouTube--she gets it!
