just because of the paranoia

My doc told me not to stay alone.
But sometimes I think should I go with the statement,
Don’t let others opinion become your reality.
It’s your call always.
You’re going to be paranoid wherever you go most likely. And you will find yourself paranoid of people in a managed living situation. If you’re functioning well on your own, that’s what matters.

I live alone and just barely get by most of the time. It’s not a good idea but they say it is cheaper. I think I should get a cat.

I have been advised it’s not healthy to live alone. I did for many years and when I got back with people again I noticed I had missed a great deal of the advancements that had been made in society. Everything from microwaves to tv celebrities and photo tricks and skills. I could have felt like an alien I was so unaware. 
I live alone for the first time at 30, and yes the paranoia is bad.
Living alone is full of hazards. I’ve lived alone nearly all of the 64 years I’ve been on this earth. It has its hazards, particularly when you are young. When I was young it seemed like everyone was having fun but me. In AA they call that “judging your insides by other people’s outsides”. It’s a psychologically painful way to be, but it is not a total catastrophe. When I got older I learned to enjoy the simpler pleasures. It’s always good to enjoy the simpler pleasures - a pizza buffet, a spectacular sunset, a good conversation, a good book, a good movie. That feeling that everyone has an instruction book to life but you goes away.

I’d say it’s good to live alone but not good to be alone. It’s nice to have your own space for quiet. But you should always have a circle of friends and family.

Took about 6 months to get used to it
I rate living alone very highly as I have a space to retreat to when need be

Crystal you have been asking this question over and over again for a long time. Does anything anybody says even make an impact with you? You tend to get stuck on one thing and spam it for months or years.

Ultimately its up to you. Its your decision. I tried to ask you what things you struggle with specifically, as without knowing what sort of problems you are having its hard to tell.
It is hard to get used to living alone, but if you are easily triggered by other people’s behaviour it is probably better to really try and overcome the things you are struggling with one by one.
I do my food shopping online and found it much easier than going to the shop a couple of times a week in person. It also took me a while to work out what I want to eat every day, but now I have that down. I need to clean more often as I delay it as much as possible. But if I lived with others that would be more problematic because they would get annoyed with me, or I may get annoyed with their mess etc.

I think that you should listen to your doctor i really do Chrystal I know it sucks and I’m being a bit of a hypocrite because I’m starting to go down the path of feeling that there are worse people off however I agree with your doctor if you don’t then I’d consider getting a second opinion idk what else to say

If you like living alone , do it. If you prefer some support live in a supported living facility.

I prefer living with family or alone. Not strangers. Personally I live with family, once they die I will live alone close to my brothers.
