There’s nothing like the relief of being home alone. The peace, the quiet, and the freedom to just let loose and do whatever you please—it’s the best feeling.

These Redditors know exactly what I’m talking about. In a recent thread, they opened up about all the weird little things they do in private. And who could blame them? From having imaginary arguments to setting up hammocks indoors just because, here are some of their most memorable posts.

#1

“No One Can Stop Me”: 40 People Confess To The Weirdest Things They Do Living Alone I generally eat my meals on a little folding table in my living room floor in front of the TV. During the pandemic, I ordered a white cloth and black napkins and fancy silverware and a little candleholder for it. And now I set it like a restaurant when I cook myself dinner. Because it cheers me up and I like it.

Aw my last roommate and I used to do this. We shared a grocery budget and took turns cooking so we’d always set a nice table with candles and sometimes hand picked flowers (even if they were dandelions) just because life is too short not to enjoy moments as much as you can.

“No One Can Stop Me”: 40 People Confess To The Weirdest Things They Do Living Alone I sleep on a full size mattress in a camping tent in my bedroom. It took me five years of living alone to finally decide I'm gonna do whatever I want to do, and that's sleep in a tent every night. I love it.

“No One Can Stop Me”: 40 People Confess To The Weirdest Things They Do Living Alone I paint my house to suit ME! Bright orange laundry room - yes! Sunny yellow kitchen - please! Purple dressing room etc etc. after literal years of being mindful of “resale value” I bought a really old home and just paint colors that make me happy 100%. Life is just too short for “resale value” in my opinion. Also? Looking into adult dog bed - omg can I fill it with my Squishmallow friends??

A tv tray is pushed up to her side of the bed with her food on it so she can have breakfast in bed. And lunch. And dinner. Imagine me trying to have a partner in this living situation lol.

I have excess. I have a full pantry, full freezer, extra sheets, towels, toiletries, toilet paper, cleaners. My bf is like how many people live here?! But I went without for a long time and it definitely traumatized me to where I will never be without again. I also have the correct thing, if that makes sense. I dont “make do” with mismatched sheets.

I'm the same, I have 2 duvets for my bed (a double and a king that goes on top) and 6 pillows. There are 3 different matching duvet sets for winter and 3 different sets for summer along with all the matching pillowcases and sheets. Is it excessive? Yes....yes it is, but I freeze in the winter, so each duvet is 15 tog (heaviest I can buy) and too hot in the summer (so have the lightest I can get). I also have 2 mattresses on the bed frame and it is sooooo comfy that I always look forward to going to bed.

Having to “convince “ myself that I’m not lazy. But I am. I don’t want to do s**t. No house work, no walking on my treadmill. No cooking. No getting gas for my car. I don’t mind going to work. I get “entertained” by them (coworkers and patients). I love hearing the planes fly over my house. I’ve chilled for hours in my living room doing absolutely nothing. No TV, music or reading. Just me and my quiet self time.

I’d never stayed in the rooms because I’m a local, but we have king-sized pillows - OH my GOD. They’re INCREDIBLE. I slept like a baby for 2 hours of my 8 hour shift 😂

I like to sleep in a macgyver’ed sensory deprivation chamber. I make the room cold because I sleep best in the cold, pile on tons of blankets, turn on a box fan for that wonderful grey noise, lights completely out in the entire apartment, unplug every single electronic in the room so there are no running lights or buzzing noises, draw the blackout curtains so no moonlights gets in, and then pass out in absolute peace.

I’m aware it is insane, but I’m single and I live alone so I do whatever the hell I want.

I eat like a king all of the time. Last night was a grilled pork chop, fried diced potato with onion, garlic, butter, & sour cream.
I dot have a sleep schedule. When I'm tired I sleep whether that's 2 pm or 2 am. When I wake up I get up. I also sleep wherever I sleep. On the couch, in the chair, in my bed, anywhere.
When I clean my house I blast Johnny Cash, usually, & get at it.
I talk to myself or the dogs.
I always keep my place picked up & clean. I put things back when I'm done.
