Is it normal to not like living alone?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal not to enjoy living alone. Some people love the quiet and independence, while others feel lonely or miss having someone around.

Living alone can mean more than having your own space: it can also mean eating, relaxing, and handling everyday routines without company. Missing casual conversation, shared chores, or simply knowing someone else is home is a very ordinary reason to dislike it. It doesn’t mean you’re needy or bad at being independent.

People are split on this—some thrive on the privacy, and others feel much better with a roommate, partner, or more regular social time. If living alone is your situation for now, building in small points of connection can help, but you don’t have to talk yourself into loving it.
