Is it important for everyone to stay alone in their life?

7 months back I shifted to a new city where i am on my own .It has it's positives and negatives.But what do u think we should experience this in our lifetime?Should we leave our parents in their old age ?What about the chances of depression in staying alone?What are the positives and negatives you find ?Lets discuss!

IMO Pros:
1. Start from clean slate and build new friendships
2. Good chance to change your lifestyle
3. Start new hobbies and interests
4. Do what you please and when you feel like it
5. Responsible for own actions

Cons:
1. Distance from family
2. No emotional support network
3. If you have family responsibilities then you are escaping them, there is always a guilt factor.
4. Some times it is not cost effective.

I believe everyone should experience some time off the family and support network. This is how you learn how to deal with unknown situations.

by staying alone you learn to become independent

you get to know yourself much better 

cons is yes sometimes you become emotionally detached with everyone

@ankitasushma: Didn't understand the inferiority complex part. Why would one develop inferiority complex because of staying alone? Edited by souro - 8 years ago

Important to be alone... I don't know.
