Coming home from work, or running errands to an empty apartment. I grew up in a house with 4 younger brothers, friends and family of all ages and relations showing up at all hours of the day and quite a few at night. I went from that environment to a dorm, where there was always someone awake/ cogent enough to say hi or give me a hard time. Now I live alone, and when I first was getting settled into my new place I'd walk in the door and sarcastically go 'Nobody, I'm home!' and have a bit of a laugh. Now I'll do it every couple of days in a very dejected manner. I do really enjoy my me-time, but when it's no longer voluntary it becomes very tiresome.
