I have lived here for over 35 years now. Most of those years I have lived alone with my pets. I donāt think I could ever live with someone again. I have been by myself for too long.

@Ridgerunner Iām sorry to hear that. I canāt wait to have the whole marriage life. Me Iām waiting for the right person. And Iām trying to keep myself.
But anyway Iāve been on my own for a little over a year.
Itās not as easy as I thought. When I was home mom would do mostly everything and all I would do is take out the trash and cut the grass. But now itās hard. Itās not hard. But having no motivation drains me. Iām not lazy. But just cleaning is to much. My place is moderately clean. Switching to abilify I didnāt do anything for weeks. Iāve been back on my previous med and cooked dinner for the first time in weeks. and cleaned the living and bathroom. I believe the illness makes it hard for no reason.
I currently live with my bf and his three dogs.
He can be very supportive and notices things I donāt.
We pay 50/50 on renovations,food and bills.
If we were to break up he gets to keep renovations ,new washing machine we bought together etc and I would not have much.
Itās nice and less dramas even though I would lose out a lot.
It settles for a peaceful way.
I lived a year at boarding school college .
I lived with the other parent or woman that raised me, I lived with my mums friends when I was a bad girl even.
I rented second hand apartment,
I lived with some boyfriends , I rented apartwith help from the government in Sweden.
When I came back to Australia my dad let me rent his place for $100 week I think it was and he let me work for him until I had a meltdown of some type when I was binge drinking and said awful things about him and that he molested me to his employees and business associates at a work party .
Thank fully he may of forgiven me and I hope I have forgiven myself too.
I lived by myself out Bush for a while but had toads in bed and land on my face etc
Then the other woman that raised me that I did call mum when I was five years old or so ā¦(I adore my biological mum n love her no less for it.maybe she is like a God mother but closer or was a angel parent )I do not know what to call her now because I do not want to upset my biological mum but I love her very much and I could always turn to her and she spent hours on the phone to centrelink to help me despite how busy she is.i do not live my mum any less because I love this woman as well and she did raise me aswell and have a big impact on my life anyway she let me live in her apartment for free.i only had to pay bills ,food etc and she let me drive the family car for years.
I was in that apartment by myself after I had ovarian cancer and stopped drinking alcohol and was celibate five years.
When I met my bf our first date was him visiting for four days and on the second day we had decided that I would move to him interstate so we booked a flight and I managed to fly travel all by myself .
It was more difficult driving interstate with walki talki and him driving in front directing me.
I had never driven through dessert like places before specially with out air conditioning and I screamed and sobbed .
I understand some people think she has been so generous to me and do not like that.
I felt that she and I were close in spirit and that we had telepathy but she told me not to tell anyone or they would take me to psych ward.
She birthed my brother and sister and has a son from before she met my dad.
Every day I was thanking for my great bf but I want to thank for her n parents etc every day too.
I might of ended up homeless and in trouble if she had not helped me.
I am starting to suspect she saved my life in more ways than I thought.
My biological parents could not stand living with me.
We would fight to much.
They hate me but my mum loves me too but I hope my father loves me too and I think he does.
But they do hate me but love me too.
Many people say my father and I are alike āinsideā and my sister and he are alike āoutsideā.
We cried together at movies etc
I 
love my parents āAā included.
I was not happy nor well in most places I have lived.
But I feel I live in a rather happy and peaceful home now.
A felt like stability I may not of known before.
I pray I enriched her life too.
That she āgets something ā out of my existence so she doesnāt feel she is giving and giving and getting nothing back from me.
But giving can feel good too.
Nice to give to loved ones.
I am making a blanket for her and I have bought her a Christmas gift.
That may not seem like a lot but some people may treasure such a little thing.
Like my huge teddy with big hanging ears I regretfully gave to second hand shop .
Maybe my spirit enriched her life.
I hope so.
I hope my parents and loved ones get enrichenef by me somehow whether it be laughter or things or ā¦something good anyway.
I lived in my familyās car for three weeks
When I was psychotic and thought I canāt be in the apartment.

I believe itās better to give than to receive. My elders always say if you open your hand to bless someone with a gift. There is a chance that something will drop in. The bigger the sacrifice the bigger the blessing. They say people go to the beach and want water but they bring a tea sooon. Go with a bucket and youāll get a wave. But they also say that people who are selfish keep their hands closed and nothing ever gets in there.
Failure to launch
I used to live with my mom, but she put me out of her house in 2008. Sheās was in the nursing home in 2010, and my sister sold her house. She died last February 28th. Iāve been renting an apartment since December 2008.
I lived on my own from 1995-2015. I mostly rented rooms in peoples houses with mixed results. I had problems with neighbors sometimes but when I was in one place with my own room and 7 fellow tenants not only did I last for 4 1/2 years but I made a few friends there and at one time or another almost every tenant invited me to go out to eat or other places.
I was one of the few who had both a car and a job. It took getting along with 7 other adults in a cramped space but I was on fair terms with almost everybody.
But three years ago I was living in a house and my landlord decided we werenāt compatible and gave me thirty days to vacate. At the same time my mom died which set off a chain of events that ended me up in the hospital for about two days feeling suicidal.
I got out and lived in a board & care for a year and then a year ago I moved into this nice apartment. Itās semi-independent living. An agency got me in here and we get left alone except every three weeks a counselor visits for an hour or two to see if thereās any problems.

I live in an apartment with my dad.
I do not think I understand what you are saying here.
What does this mean?
The receiver of generosity does not necessarily have to be selfish .
Maybe they are maybe they are not plus people can improve themselves.
Even selfish people may be generous and give a lot by being .
Maybe they have other good qualities and maybe someone generous can be selfish too.
What do you mean with your words?
