One man felt the pressure of such a scenario after he moved into his own place and his new stepmom immediately started to give him interior design advice. He had spent months saving up to decorate in a way that he liked, and he didn't appreciate her telling him that he needed to change everything if he wanted a woman to appreciate the space.
As a result, he rejected her tips and she got offended. His dad wasn't happy with how he had handled the situation, and he wanted to know if he was in the wrong.

Living alone should be a peaceful experience, but that is not always the case.
Supposedly, one of the biggest perks of being the only person at home is that it comes with a freedom that you just don't have otherwise. When a place is all yours, you can choose exactly how you want to live there, and you don't have to listen to other people's opinions on it.
That being said, those who are particularly unlucky are often subjected to unsolicited advice from people whom they know anyway. Sometimes it is friendly and can end up being helpful, especially if an individual does not have a lot of experience in running their own household. Other times, though, it is the product of a chronic busybody who insists on making everything their business because they believe that they know better. This can be annoying at best, and detrimental to quality of life at worst.
