Do you prefer to live alone or with other people (family, friends, etc.)?

[CoffeeWC]

I prefer living alone

I prefer living with roomates

[pervertedjester]

Been alone and on my own now for 7 years. I'd be hard pressed trying to live with another person again. Roommates can be okay as long as they're reliable for Rent and Chores otherwise you end up babysitting for free. But if you go the roommate route make sure they're a few sizes bigger/smaller than you so you don't lose any clothes.

Alone (but it would be nice to have a woman to sleep with.)

[Iwant2kno]

I tried living alone once and I realized I couldn’t do it! I really disliked getting home and to be alone, I missed my family so I moved back with them again! 🤣 I just don’t like to be alone for tooooo long!

[Iwant2kno]

Thank you for the MHO! 😊👍🏼

I used to like living with others, but I prefer living alone. Well, mostly alone. I have 3 pets to keep me company and they don't complain if I make dinner at 2am or breakfast at 1pm.

[MysteriousDarkness]

What do you do where you are making breakfast at 1pm and diner at 2am.

[justsomeperson2u]

I work in healthcare. Sometimes I get home from work at 12am or later, other times I have to be there at 4 or 5 in the morning. I've also worked weird shifts like 12am to 4pm, 2am to 6pm, 8pm to 12pm. With the rotation I work, it really wouldn't be fair to a roommate.

Alone. No one can blame me for something they did or blame me for not doing something when I did. I was living with 3 other people and 2 of were always the one doing all the cleaning inside and outside. Whether that was the dishes, cleaning the gutters, mowing the grass... and the other 2 maybe did it once a year would turn around and try and blame us for something not getting done and say how they always did everything. The two of us that did everything ended up leaving within 2-3 months of each other and they ended up getting a new person a month before I left. That person thought that me and the other roommate were exaggerating everything as the one roommate that never did anything always told this person that we were at fault. Once I left that new person complained to me about how they got stuck doing literally everything including taking care of their pets. So, that person got fed up and left. The 2 roommates that never did anything were also a couple who got married about 6 months before I left. Ever since I've been on my own, even though my payments have tripled it has been a million times nicer and less stressful.

Alone. I’m currently on the hunt for a studio of my own, since I’m going to college. In the netherlands, you don’t live on campus so there’s no frat houses or dormitories or whatever. You just have to find your own place (often a room in a student flat, where you live together with others). I really hate that idea. My sister currently lives in one of those places and has to share a bathroom and kitchen with only two people, but it’s fucking disgusting. They just don’t clean up after themselves and shit three times a day so the place smells. I am absolutely mortified by that. So I wanted to rent a studio or maybe live together with max three CLEAN people. (It’s very possible, rent is about €500 a month and I can loan about €1000 a month). So yeah, rather live alone.

[Barkey18]

😂 it's hilarious. ... but I'm actually the same I HATE sharing a bathroom with anyone cuz they don't clean up it's disgusting so I feel you

[bente2]

@Barkey18 it’s so disgusting... used cooking utility is everywhere, smells like shit in the bathroom, they don’t clean out their hairs🤢

[Barkey18]

Damn right I feel you sister 😂😂

[lumos]

I prefer living alone. Because if it's messy, then it's my mess. I can't blame someone else for it or be annoyed at anyone but myself. I get to have my peace and quiet, my own space. I get to come and go as I please. If I want to watch netflix in bed all day and order a pizza, I can do that without hearing my mother's faint sigh in the distance, or have someone tell me to go outside. Instead I get to choose when and where I get to hang out with my friends and family. Which still ends up being quite often, and that's nice. But like I said, I also have my own space. It's nice and chill.

[MollyTheOriginal]

Really with that photo, though, what else would someone chose? xD But honestly, I prefer, and have always preferred, living alone. I don't like feeling the need to have to socialize, you get enough of that at work. I Like my space, like my freedom, and prefer to socialize on my own terms. I also would and have disliked living with someone who doesn't share my same values on how clean a place should be, and I don't like to share food. What I dislike most though is when roommates have guests over, or a partner. It's annoying to have to go out to get some peace.

[TsundereMatrix]

I used to live alone. It was great having my own space but I was worried about what would happen if I suddenly had a seizure or something and no one was around. Now I live with roommates. I feel a bit more secure if I have some sort of health problem, someone is available to contact my parents and 911. My parents were also worried about me when I lived alone.

[flower92]

I love living alone! I can do whatever i want, i can sleep when i want, turn on music, have sex and cook and eat whatever time is!! I am a night owl so i stay up till 5-6 am and cook at 12 at night!! Now, that i have a relationship sometimes i find it really hard to have my boyfriend all the time with me, i love him but i need some time alone!

[darline19]

I realized living with roommates much better than living alone. It's kinda fun watch favorite movies with them, eating together, if I could not finish my meal, they will finish it. They would wake up me at certain times that i wanted to be awake, i would have accompany when i can't fall asleep or even bathing in the middle of night. The bad thing was only one of my roommates likely to picking fight with me.

Now I'm living alone. Everything drives me crazy.

[pooper89]

I prefer living with others at the end of the day. I can usually pick out good roommates although one thing I will no longer tolerate is roommates who have pets. I invariably end of having to take care of their pets when they leave and they contribute majorly to the uncleanliness of the residence.

[StephenCF]

Alone! Unless it’s with a girl I love.

I don’t care for living with family or friends. I live with family right now, but once I have enough money to afford a place myself, I’m outta here. I was offered a chance to move out when a friend suggested we buy a place together, but despite my desire to leave the nest, I had to decline for the reason stated above

[young_old_soul]

I prefer living with people I get along with well and whose routines and preferences are compatible with mine. Some roommates were great, others were awful. I live alone now, it's lonely at times but the lack of conflict or dealing with other people's issues outweighs that.

[menina]

At this point of my life, I would rather live by myself. I'm done with my mother and living with my younger sister wouldn't be a good idea.
Unfortunately, I can't do that now since I'm still studying.

[Riggers]

I’ve lived alone since I was 18, I really like the freedom of just being able to do whatever I want with my own place, and the beach view and stuff is beautiful, it’s definitely a lonely lifestyle however.

[NaomixSuicide]

I need to be able to do my own thing in my own space & not worry about someone else’s cleanliness, overflow of old food in the fridge or dirty areas in general. I can’t take it! Or people eating my food or using my things & not putting it back.

[EmbraceThePain]

I’d prefer other people for sure, but specifically a small group. For me, living with one other person, an intimate partner specifically would be ideal.

[rjroy3]

I'm fine with both, but it's better for me to live with people even if we're not always interacting. You need that sense of tribe. That said, being alone is better than bad roommates. It's just more ideal to have good people around you.

[BluesheepOwl]

I'm too afraid to live alone. I'm afraid of those super rare situations of having a crazy weirdo guy follow to your apartment and raping/murdering you. I need other people there so I can leave them for dead when something does go down lol

[SkipStop]

I live alone and it's great. And I don't like when my family visit me because they try to change things. They think I'm restricting my lifestyle too much.

[just_a_potato]

I hate people but I can't be in a home on my own, alone with my thoughts and a eerily silent house so I guess i'll ALWAYS need to be living with someone

[Paris13]

I Love It Alone at Home, Although My make Roomie Comes Home every other Week from the Road. lolxx

[douride2]

I have been living alone for 3 years now. I'm not sure if I could share my house with another person.
