Argumentation for living by yourself

How about this... Listening to whatever music you want to (and getting melancholic for no particular reason and without the need to justify yourself for it). Spontaneously inviting a friend over. Being non-communicative. Letting all the guards down. Masturbation. Not cleaning up. Retreating into an appartment that has almost become a part of yourself. Spending hours on the phone, in front of the computer or in front of the TV. Going to bed whenever you feel like it and getting up again to smoke a cigarette whenever you feel like it, even if it's the middle of the night. Reading in bed for hours on end. Not waiting for the bathroom.
But then again, as Freud so wisely put it: Das Ich ist nicht Herr im eigenen Haus.
