Friends, let's find out the main topics of today's competition without delay. 👇

✅What do you think are the biggest advantages and disadvantages of living alone compared to living with someone?

The biggest advantage of being alone is freedom, and when someone is alone, they can manage their time, work and decisions in their own way, and no one stops them or gives them instructions. And this increases confidence and self-reliance, and they can decide the direction of their life themselves and which often makes people mentally strong, and it also has its disadvantages. Being alone sometimes creates a kind of loneliness and especially when someone is sick or in a difficult situation, it hurts mentally if there is no one by their side and again due to being alone, social bonds also become a bit weak and on the other hand when someone is with someone, they can share joy and help each other and there is a warmth in life. So being alone means freedom, but being together means compassion. There are different beauties and challenges on both sides.

✅Do you believe living with someone helps improve emotional well-being, or can it sometimes limit personal growth? Why?

Being with someone usually has a positive psychological effect, and when we are with someone we learn to love, cooperate and understand. By sharing life with a partner or family member, we can increase patience and empathy and communication skills, and these qualities help us maintain our mental health. However, not all relationships will be good because sometimes being with others can hinder personal development and if the other person always imposes his/her own opinion or interferes with our decisions, we lose the freedom to think and act in our own way and in that case instead of mental growth, pressure and dependence are created and therefore it can be said that being with someone is only mentally beneficial when there is freedom and respect in the relationship and good relationships increase mental health but the wrong relationships hinder the individual's progress.

✅At what stage in life do you think it’s best to live alone, and when is it better to share your space with someone?

People have different needs at different stages of life. Being alone at a young age is often beneficial, and at this age, we try to build our own future and develop our own skills and thoughts. Being alone increases responsibility, self-control and confidence. Being alone teaches us how to take charge of our own affairs and how to think independently. However, in later life, such as middle age or old age, being with someone becomes much more important. We need emotional support, empathy and love. Being together is not just about sharing a roof over our heads, but also about sharing joys and sorrows. So being alone at a young age is a time to learn self-reliance, and being together at a later age is a time for mental peace and stability. And life finds a balance when it is necessary to be alone and when it is necessary to be with someone.

✅If you had to choose between peace and companionship, which would you prioritize in your living situation and what shaped that choice?

If I have to choose between peace and companionship, I will give priority to peace because I believe that no one can truly be happy in any relationship without their own peace of mind and only a person with a peaceful mind can love others well and when there is trouble or stress around, even company does not bring joy and again if the mind is peaceful then loneliness does not hurt but rather gives time for self-reflection and self-improvement. This does not mean that companionship is unnecessary; rather, I believe that a person with a peaceful mind can find the right companion at the right time, and I will choose peace because I have learned that the status of life comes from one's inner peace and not from external relationships. My perspective has come from life experiences, and when I was alone, I got time to talk to myself and organize my thoughts. The peace of that time made me strong, and that is the basis of my decision now.

Being alone and being together are both part of life and both have their own beauty and being alone teaches you how to find yourself and being with someone teaches you how to fulfill life with love and understanding and ultimately life is a game of balance and sometimes you have to spend time with yourself or sometimes you have to share happiness with others and if we understand this balance properly then life will be peaceful beautiful and meaningful.

Thank you everyone for reading my post.
