People, who require someone else to validate their life experiences, are just weak in spirit. ...and who needs a "hall monitor" watching your every move, not to mention, the constant, head-to-toe, body inspections?!
Great video! I lived alone for years and really appreciated getting to know myself. I had a partner but during that time, I wasn’t ready to give up my alone time. Now, we’ve been living together for 14 years. It’s great because I made the decision when the time was right for me. I didn’t settle or rush into anything. So glad that I waited.
I love how you plate that dinner like it came from a restaurant. It makes the eating experience more enjoyable. People forget that step so often. That soft boiled egg is perfection. What a nice lifestyle you have cultivated for yourself. I'm sure there are lots of guys who would love to change your single status to coupled, but it looks like you're living your best life right now.
I went from living with my family, to roommates to living with my husband. I was 50 years old when we divorced and for the first time lived on my own. It's now been for 11 years and love it
I’m 66-years-old and have lived alone for a total of 40 years. No roommate, thank you. And with lovers, I keep my space and he keeps his. When you eat alone, do you read (books, magazines, etc.), view television, or something on your cell phone 📱? It eases the loneliness. Listening to music 🎶 helps set the mood. Cleaning up after yourself right away helps. But if cleaning 🧹 up after cooking and eating, plus doing laundry 🧺 and cleaning your restroom and bedroom gets to be more time than you want to spend, hire a cleaning 🧼 person twice a month helps if you can afford it. I do not bring strangers to my home.
I think you have hit the most important thing about living by yourself. Make yourself proper meals and prepare as if you have a person coming you want to impress. I have been doing it for decades.
Hi Joey! I just found your channel - hello neighbour! (I live in Sydney CBD for 14+ years, so understand the transient nature of ppl visiting Sydney, making it more challenging to build community), BUT here we are - good to see you here making videos and sharing your experience 😍 Hope you keep well and continue enjoying the creative journey here! (also, if you see me on the street, please say hello! I will keep an eye out for you!)
I’m a new subscriber…i’m living alone for 15 years now…there are times that you really feel lonely or when your happy hormones are down, so i eat chocolates, drink milk, have a good cup of coffee, pure chocolate drinks, play my all time sport, watch movies, and read books. Hanging out with friends also helps. Stay fit, watch your health and watch your soul.
Finding and making friends in Sydney is extremely hard. Sydney born and bred - I got out and used to go out with some friends on Friday nights to Bears @ the Beresford. That was 1999 to 2023 - and then my friends all coupled up. That was it - over all. At 59 - I got out of Sydney 4 yrs ago - own place out Central West - but trying to find anyone new here is close to impossible. Best of luck living in Sydney : expensive and it's about meeting on apps (with the bars closed / gone).
At least they were still around. I lived through the 70's & 80's. I knew at least 100 people. Something was always happening and then we got hit with a huge "truck" - AID's. In less than one year the number of people I knew were about 4 or maybe 5. Many died and some moved "back home" and some just seemed to disappear. Everywhere was unsafe - not just sexually. People got beat up just for being gay; some even killed. And that was San Francisco!
I'm a 53 yo half Korean American woman and enjoy being alone, I have 2 cats and live with my mom. I've been divorced for 17 years now. By the way, I love the shoes you wore to the gym and subbed your channel.
Your video was in my feed...WOW. very entertaining, interesting, and good looking. Thanks for sharing your a piece of your life. Subscribed. Two videos in, so far
I lived a lot like you did in London. But I always wanted to live with someone. I wish I could have just enjoyed living alone and being young. You do that and you know how great it can be.
@@joeyroey That's it. Enjoy the advantages of being alone, or being with someone. But either way enjoy your younger years,because suddenly you find they have gone. And after you are young, just enjoy every day as every day is a gift.
There is nothing wrong with living alone. I've been alone for the majority of my adult life. I've given up on finding a soulmate and that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Hey bud. Check out the writing of Bella DePaul. She's an advocate of "single at heart". I came to San Francisco in 1983 right out of college, and have lived the single life here since 1988. It's been absolutely fantastic and wouldn't trade it for anything.
I can relate to you, I thought I was the only gay person living like this way, thanks for posting, I am trying to break away from being single gay, So I start to sign up to date guys online but its like throwing a fishing rod in polluted pond if you know what I mean, almost gay men are looking for sex or hookup. So who ever is reading this and live in the San Antonio / Austin area and wants to date. Hit me up guys, just be athletic type like me and anywhere between 21-40yo btw the Spurs jersey you try on was a good fit for you!
I think the issue for many people is they equate being alone with being lonely. Sometimes the loniest place is in a crowd. If you have a good circle of friends then living alone isn't really an issue.
Im a New Zealander. I once lived and worked in Sydney. From 1991 - 2001. I went out alot , on the nightlife scene back then. I like living back in New Zealand now. Its my country of birth. Its where my roots are. From Carl.
That's a real contrast of my life, not so relaxing. My days are chopping wood, mowing lawns using a ride on mower, building sheds, knocking walls out in the house to open it up, dogging kangaroos and wombats while driving into town. I had my time in Sydney. I Deejayed in the clubs and pubs of Oxford St in the 80s, a visit to Sydney these days is short, too many people. You seem to like it and that's ok, enjoy it, all the best.
Thank you very much. „The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.“ (Numbers 6:24-26)
Hello 🌹 I love love love living alone , don’t need the drummer in my life , I am very happy in my own space , ❤ keep going and keep living and be happy 😊✌️
I've been living alone for 25+ years and I intend to keep it that way. I'm not a relationship person I'm a mateship person because I've always falling out of love because I'm stubborn and I like to do things my way. I've worked full time for about the same time I've held my employment and payed my taxes. When I travel the world, I buy campervans and sleep in them then when I leave that country, I sell it and use the money to buy another vehicle at the next country destination and so on. I dine myself out to cafe's and whatever restaurant's tickle my fancy. So yeah, I'm happy with just me and my mates.
Love the chill background music - so soooothing!! My jaw dropped to the floor when you said your rent is $520 per week!! That's insane for 1 person!! I hope you don't mind me asking, what do you do to be able to afford that?
My rent is $500/week, $520 is the one I was inspecting. But yes it’s still expensive. Can you believe that’s actually lower end price for a 1 bedroom in Sydney? It’s usually $700-800/ week. Crazy! I work as a registered nurse
@@joeyroey WOW!! That’s almost criminal really. I’m really glad you are able to afford it - ur place is so lovely and cosy 🙂 I live in Melbourne - just wonder where it’s all going to end sometimes, just to keep a roof over our heads. Thanks so much for getting back to me. Hope ur doing well Joe
Great place and you seem to have a good life there. What do you do for a living ? I live in Bangkok (Silom) in 1 bedroom condo for 28,000 baht ($765 USD). Paying for rent by the week seems crazy but I know that is how it is done there.
Hey there, new to your channel, enjoying laid back and relaxed vlogs! Lefties noticed other lefties😂May I ask your ethnicity, Filipino (my husband is Filipino)?
I would have loved being able to live by myself in Sydney at the same age. Instead I lived with a lot of idiots. & I always had a lover to make things busy. I was constantly distracted. Now I’m so much happier and focused single. For life😂.
How can you afford more than 500 a week...unbelievable. i am paying Euro 750 month..and it is too much.!!! Like ur Video and remember me to wonderful time end of '90 in Australien. Greetx from Frankfurt. Kai
Boah, €750 pro Monat in Ffm ist extrem günstig - in welchem Wohngebiet? Das habe ich vor 8 Jahren in Bornheim zahlen müssen für 30m2, und die Wohnung war nichts besonders… Der Typ hier wohnt sehr zentral in Sydney in einem echt schönen Wohnbereich. 500 AUD ist etwa €1.200 pro Monat, und außerdem sind die Gehälter hier generell höher (außer Finanzbereich in Frankfurt, LOL) als in Deutschland. $500 ist schon vernünftig.
My current rent is $500/ week. I was inspecting a place for $520. But honestly, this is cheap for a 1 bedroom in Sydney. A decent, modern 1 bedroom apartment here is like $700-$800. It’s crazy.
Hi, I was alone for 43 years before I found the love of my life. You do not have to settle, keep your standards. Enjoy your life
Best advice ever

No other way to live. Spent most of my adult life in live-together relationships and now I'm happy to have (and keep) my own space and freedom.

Yes it works. Soon my cooking got so good I was not happy with restaurant food.

The problem is more pronounced in the Western world unfortunately.
Hi Sydney boy. Same here, I am 32, still young and wanna do nothing. I am living in Cabramatta now, hope to see you one day :)
Love your video and jazz tunes too. Also inspired me to check out the scrambled tofu omelette 😊

Unless there is something left unsaid, I seriously cannot see why you are alone
Appreciate your comment! I have amazing friends and family ❤ also I’ve learnt so much about myself from spending time alone. Solitude > loneliness
Why?
Would being with someone put him in a better position?
I was unaware that compromise and brain damage was a benefit.
He wants to be alone, there’s only 2 reasons for being alone.
1. Want
2. Too fussy
