Seems very individualist, ngl. To be clear, I don't think being single is inherently a bad or good thing; I think it's more of a relative thing and it's perfectly fine if some people want to be single. But this comes across as the perspective of being single in a hyper individualistic society, which can be very lonely and isolating, on top of the other lonely and isolating problems such a society has.

Like is the best one can come up with really things like eating ice cream for dinner? It sounds like what a person dreams of when they're a kid who is sick of parent rules. Eating ice cream for dinner will make you feel good for maybe 5-10 minutes until you feel like shit after because you need nutrients. If you get sick from repeatedly neglecting to eat what you need, no one will be there to help you because you're living alone. If the argument is that your friends are right there next door or something, so you can easily hang out or get help that way, that seems more like having roommates but you want more physical space ownership. Which I'm not judging as "bad", I'm just saying like, what is the actual desire? Is the desire to be a hermit? To have no one to tell you what to do? To have more physical space to yourself? If dealing with other people regularly is painful, is it because you need lots of space for some reason or because you're dealing with people who are either shitty or incompatible with who you are?

What do you want out of it, in other words. The same can be said for chasing having a partner or kids, if you don't have a strong reason other than "it's what other people do."
