Introduction
Sometimes, introverts are apprehensive about living on their own. They wonder what it would be like if they were to move out of their parent's home and live by themselves. But living alone can be a positive experience for introverts, who might be ready for the change of scenery.
Here are four thriving tips for introverts who want to live on their own:
1. You Do Not Have To Be So afraid Of People
I have to admit that it took me a long time to get this, but introverts are not afraid of people. Introverts are not antisocial. Introverts don’t want to be alone all the time.
Introverts simply need time alone in order to recharge and process their thoughts, emotions, and energy levels—and they will absolutely love your company when you spend time with them! And introverts do want friends—we just know how important it is for us to have those friendships from the comfort of our own home (or wherever else we feel safe).
2. You Can Share A House
The benefits of sharing a house with other people:
It's more affordable.
If you're looking for an apartment, you might find that living in a shared home is a better option for your budget. The rent per person would be cheaper than if you were to live alone or with only one other person.
You won't have to do all the cleaning yourself.
While there will be days when this doesn't seem like such a good idea, knowing that there are others around who are willing and able to help out can make things much easier on those days where it just feels like too much effort...or if there's just no motivation at all!
The challenges of sharing a house with other people:
There could be a conflict between housemates over issues such as food choices or loud music—but these things happen anyway when living by yourself! And they usually don't last long if everyone puts their best foot forward at communicating their needs/wants early on (and often).
3. You Can Declare Your Space As “Introvert Only”
A good way to make your space feel like yours is to decorate it in ways that you enjoy. If you like nature, put plants or a water feature outside. If you enjoy reading, set up a little library area with bookshelves and lighting. These are just a few ideas—the possibilities are endless!
Another way to help yourself stay calm is by setting up rules for when the doorbell rings (or knocks). For example, if I don't want anyone coming into my apartment without me knowing who's at the door first, I will always answer by saying "Hello?" before opening it up completely so they know someone's home and what their name is." You can also do this by putting up signs stating "Do not disturb unless urgent business" or something similar on your door. This helps prevent people from just walking in whenever they feel like it because now there's a clear sign stating otherwise!
4. You Might Want Someone To Live With, But Not Necessarily
If you're an introvert who spends a lot of time alone, you probably also enjoy being around other people every now and then. It's important for us to recharge our batteries by spending time alone — but this doesn't mean that we don't like living with others!
As introverts, we usually gravitate toward people who are like us: quiet, reserved types who aren't too loud or outgoing. However, if the right person comes along and asks me to move in together, I'll consider it! I may even be able to learn how to cook (and actually enjoy doing so) after years of eating frozen dinners every night while watching Netflix on my own.
You should try out living with someone who isn't an introvert first before committing yourself 100%.
The takeaway is that introverts can live independently on their own and still be social if they want to.
The takeaway is that introverts can live independently on their own and still be social if they want to. You might feel more comfortable with a roommate, but it's completely up to you. You can share a house with someone who has similar interests and values, or you can declare your space as “introvert only,” even if it's just for one night out of the week.
It's also important to note that there are ways for introverts to make friends without having an official living situation—for example, taking walks alone in nature or using apps like Meetup (which offers local events based on your interests).
The point is that no matter what kind of person you are or what level of social interaction appeals most to you personally, there are tons of opportunities available for people who want them!
Conclusion
A lot of the time, introverts are stereotyped as being antisocial and not wanting to be around people. But in reality, this is not always the case!
Introverts need alone time just like anyone else would want to recharge their batteries. They do not want to constantly feel pressured by others who don’t understand this need either.
So don’t feel bad if you want some peace and quiet after spending hours with other people!
