Poll question: Does living alone make you weird?
I mean, do you become weird by living alone?

2. I half live alone.
I have joint custody with my ex-husband, but I work nights (usually 3, 12 hours shifts per week). Usually, the days I'm alone I'm sleeping, so it doesn't even feel like it. On the rare days I'm not working, sleeping, or with the kids, it's usually because I have plans and I'm out and about.

However, I was born weird, so I'm not sure how to properly answer the question. :silly:

5. I lived by myself, meaning not even any housemates,
for quite a long time, and it did not affect me at all, unless you count the minor incidents of lasnosdl, the repeated sdnwoweu, and the police being called frequently for the gnodidnw, which wasn't my fault anyway.

And I'll fight anyone who says it was.

6. I'd have to say no.
For many living alone is an escape from the outside world, a time to decompress from dealing with people all day. It's having your personal space be your personal space.

7. I suppose it depends on your definition of "weird".
Maybe those of us who live alone think that people who have to live with others to feel complete are weird. :shrug:

:freak: It depends on what "weird" is. :crazy:

9. I've never lived alone in my life
Though I'd like to try it. I'll never be able to afford it unless I win the lottery, get a huge inheritance from some relative I don't know I have, or otherwise come into a crapload more money than I currently have. :cry:
