Been single 25 years, son on his own. Pretty much a loner but not lonely...that's why there's dogs!

I am single, live alone and love my time alone to dress and do as I wish. Have friends and a girlfriend a few states away but really dig my alone time. It makes me so happy...
I worry about this all the time, Suzy! I see danger ahead!
It's NOT clear from the earlier posts how many r closet dressers!? Closet dressers MAY spend too much alone time while expressing their alter ego!
As a kind of loner and closet dresser, I wonder how my life will be when my only house mate goes off to college next year. Since I split custody of her with my ex, I have plenty of Sherry time rite now.
So, what happens when I have the house ALL to myself? With my friends online? My girlfriend, Sherry, simply a mirror image? And, Sherry socializing at CD conventions only a few times a year?
Doesn't sound real healthy to me!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
Sherry, I think the point is how you are made.Originally Posted by docrobbysherry

If like me you are perfectly happy to live alone, even need to live alone rather than having to share your life with others around you all the time then that’s healthy not unhealthy.
It’s obvious when I look around me that most people dread living alone. I know two men that have lost there wives recently and rushed into a new marriage because they could not face being alone.
It’s how you are made Sherry. You are either a born loner or you are not.

I too live alone except for the house dog and the four legged critters that I have out in the barn. It can be lonely around the holidays but I do some friends that I can go and socialize with in my drab attire.
It is nice to be able to leave my makeup out and to be feminine whenever I want to be which right now it seems to be everyday. I do keep nail polish on my toenails constantly and keep my body hairless 365 days. I quit worrying about what some narrow minded person might say about my legs having no hair on them.
I too have lived a good part of my life alone, and I don't know that I've often felt lonely. I do often feel lonely when I'm with people who are very different from me--and that's virtually all of them. Being on your own has its advantages, and if you're like me--that is, if you have things that you can put your mind to so that you're always occupied with something--then being alone can be OK.
After spending any time with in-laws and relatives over Christmas really makes me want to live alone! ....you lucky...

I have been a "shared" custody father (every Fri-Mon) for my daughter since she was two years old. My last support payment is this month...concluding 17 years of that program. (She is in college in AZ now). I am back to full time single household again.
Aside from that, one semester in college with 3 roommates...and a few brief periods of cohabitation with a few past girlfriends (and ex-wives,lol)...I have lived "alone" most of my life...in many different places. I am also self-employed and "work" alone.
I have never felt "lonely" in my entire life. I am one of those people who would probably do just fine if I ever end up on a deserted island. I would not even need a volleyball, lol.
I have lots of friends and interact with people on a regular basis. I just do not need to live with any of them to be happy. I am extremely curious and always find ways to entertain myself. I am not avoiding intimate relationships...I just do not "search" for a SO.
Yes, life is good. It does require self discipline, for sure. Particularly when it comes to CDing and other fun stuff...:D

It's the time of year when I tend to get introspective and Suzy, you've caused me to get there with this thread! Up until I now I had been too preoccupied with others...
It is strange, but I have just realised that I have never lived alone! I left home to go to Uni but lived in shared houses until I met my wife and then moved in with her... kids etc.. BUT... i have always had and/or made opportunities to be on my own for a few days and have always relished these, as has my wife. I really like being on my own, although my life is full of other people. We are talking of splitting up but because we both would like more space rather than anything else...
I love being alone, but I love the other side too. I guess I need both!

I can understand what you're saying here. It's good to have interests, things that are meaningful to you, that you can devote yourself to--whether you're living alone or with others. I don't think you can depend on others to give you direction in life, because most of them won't really know where they're going. And even if they do, they don't know where you want to go. I think you have to find your own foundation in life. If you have one, then it makes being on your own quite feasible. Sure, you'd probably want to have someone to share your life with, but for me it's better to have my life rather than losing it with someone who doesn't really know what I want it to be.I have been a "shared" custody father (every Fri-Mon) for my daughter since she was two years old.

I've been living alone for the past year or so, its been a time a good time since I've been able to expand my fem side, and dress more freely than ever before. I like doing things on my own, and the studio i live in is pretty peaceful also. I still mantain a close relationship with my immediate parents and coworker friends. Just wish my studio allowed for pets, it would be nice to have a cat or dog around.
