live alone or with someone

there are times we do feel like we want to live alone for us to be free on what we wanted to do anytime,without anyone around who will control us with our decisions in life. but there are also times we do feel like we felt bored and lonely when we live alone. being with different people can be fun but there will always be times that you'll feel you don't want to be with them. it's just a matter of choice and find what does really makes you happy or comfortable with. you can't live in a house where you are not feeling comfortable anymore. it's like trapping yourself and making life harder with people like those around you. you just have to make the right choice.

It just seems so boring even when I am left in the house for a few hours. I mean at first, there is peace and quiet, and I can get things done without being bothered. However after a while it is less peaceful and rather more unnerving. There are times where I need to talk to someone to bounce ideas off of their head for whatever reason. There are times where the people that you live with get to you granted but you'll be saddened when they are gone. As long as I have my space, I think that living with someone is great. If someone is doing their thing and I'm doing mine, and we only interact when we are not busy, then life will be great. You know as long as we are not stepping over each others toes. So being alone is something that just unnerves me slightly because I do need someone to talk to. That is just the way it is.

I work far from home and I live alone in a small space where I do my own cooking and stuff. And before that I live alone in my own room but in a house full of people I first met on the day they also first met me as boarders. We all do our own thing but sometimes I get to sweep the entire floor because no one gets to do it while the housekeeper is away. Then I live with my family when I go home from work at most every two weeks.

I know what you mean. I share a flat with my brother and although we get along well and we both you our own thing, there are times when he does or doesn't do something that drives me up the wall. A couple of years back I lived alone and I could do just what I want whenever I want, but after a while I found myself starting to feel depressed because although I enjoyed being alone, I missed being able to share things with someone else. Since living with my brother I don't feel depressed anymore. So I have come to the realization that it's better to share my home space with my brother than being alone and depressed.

Alone. Living with people gets old fast unless it's your girlfriend, fiance, wife etc. I just think about college and how others habits get annoying or others in the house eat all YOUR food that you paid for. Living with others just seems as though your being taken advantage of and you cant do what you want always.

I turned 18 a couple of months ago so i still live with my parents but hopefully next year i will be moving out. when I do move out i want to live on my own i like having my own space and a place i can go when i want to get away from everything and everyone! lol but that doesn't mean i going to shut myself of from society and become unhappy, no doubt i'll have my friends over ever night.

It depends upon the people i would live with. If he is good enough to carry all my hang ups and problems in life then fine he is welcome. But the truth is at this time i prefer to live alone if my companion is too much noisy.

I prefer to live with my parents rather than live with friends or alone.Now,I am far from my home.I very miss my parents.I am embarrassed to say it.because,I think other people could laugh at me.but,that is real me.I think so.

Hi, For me, I prefer to stay alone rather than share a room with others. When I was in overseas for further study, I choose to have one room per person.although the rental will be more expensive,but at least I have my own privacy and I have more space on my own. Sharing a room with others can be quite irritating. and to avoid any arguments, I always stick to I myself inside a room.

I have been living alone for more than two years now. Prior to living alone though, I've shared living spaces with friends. Which set up do I love? Living alone! You don't have to think of anyone but yourself. You don't need to adjust your schedule because of housemates. You don't need to do household chores when you are feeling lazy. You control your own space and time. :) Last year, a friend asked me if she can stay in my place for around a month because she needs to report to school. I was ok with it but during the moments that I need to be alone, I wished she wasn't there. :) But then again, that depends on the person. There are some who can't stand being alone. So, it really depends on each one's preference.

Living alone may be boring. Living with someone is very enjoyable. But we have to adjust a lot when living with someone.

Hi Friend I think it depends on our mood, but mostly, in my case, I tend to be with some one, whether at home or out side home, now a days I am living in hostel and I have a very good roommate and I dont feel good when he visit to his home because for that time, I remain alone at my room I think it is OK for me to share room with my friend and it does not have any effect on me, at least I always have some one to talk and to chat beside mylot and get new ideas and discuss different things with him...:) But you are right that it varies from person to person...:) Have a good day....

i live with my family but living with someone it never get in that i perpare to live somebody cause it a lot of many manner that u will together with

I live with someone. I'm scared to be alone. I don't mind sharing my stuff with someone though, and I don't have any issues with personal space. Different folks, different strokes, that's what I always say. And I guess that's what makes me tolerant about other people's habits.

that really depends on who i have to live with... i used to live with other people since i was a teenager... in fact, i had been spending most of my teenager time staying at a dormitory... so i get used to live with people... like you say, sometimes it can get really annoying especially if you can't stand the other people's bad habits and you need space... but still, i prefer to live with somebody rather than alone... it is just too lonely to live alone and i can't stand it... take care and have a nice day...

It's a natural feeling that sometimes we need some space of our own. There were different stages in life where in we want to explore or discover things all alone by ourselves. When i was in my younger days,i enjoyed living in a boarding house with some a room mate. And there are times that i lived alone in a room because my room mate needs to go home for a month due to family problem. Within a month,i really enjoyed the serenity of being alone in that room,having all my privacy and freedom. But i missed my room mate's company too. So,i guess,what you were feeling right now is just normal. Why not try to lived alone even for a month in order to realized the feeling of it. Have a good day and welcome to mylot.

hello naturalbella889! i like to have my own space and needs to have my privacy respected. However, due to family responsibilities i have to shoulder being the eldest of five siblings, i find myself living not only with my 3 kids but with the family of my brother as well, my parents, an aunt and a grandfather. It's fine with me most of the time since i spend the day at work and when i am home, i usually stay at our side of the house.Everything's fine with me, until my bro and his family started staying in my kids room, which is adjacent to mine. My kids' room are fully equipped with entertainment gadgets and i can't let them out in the living room for everyone else to use. Sometimes too, they have their own friends gathering at our living room and they get so noisy even to the wee hours of the morning that it gives me headaches. i do try to understand their situation but sometimes its too overwhelming and it makes me hope to live on my own. My parents though are imploring me to stay on. and i don't want to make them unhappy with my decision but they're making me unhappy! i'm they breadwinner in the family and i can't even have my own privacy in my own home. i can live alone but i guess its nice to live with someone who knows how to respect your space.

I have been thinking about living alone for a long long time but in my country that is not considered a good thing, specially for a girl. I live my parents but sometime really go mad about their behavior and the restrictions put on me that I really feel like leaving the house and finding a place of my own. I know I might feel depressed being alone but it is becoming quite impossible to continue living under the same roof. I am so confused and don't know what to do.

Feel everyone shares something common with you. I personally think living alone is way to solitary, and makes such people desperate and awkward in society. Having a companion guarantees that individuals will receive their fare share of support, but living alone means the exact opposite. People with no partners will not have anyone to lean on, share advice with or form alliance with. My preferred lifestyle is with a partner who loves me exactly the way I love her. People's habits may set conflicts up, but I believe we people need to control out anger. In order to stop their habits from interrupting you, try talking with them more often to reach a common ground. Sharing space with such people who love you will strengthen your bonds and increase your life.

Yes, I personally prefer to live with someone instead of living alone. The most important thing is that you live with someone with the same interest and the same ideas about life, in order to avoid too much conflicts. Moreover, I believe its good to have people you like closely around you, to share your happy as well as sad moments of life. Sometimes people need some time for themselves, some people more than another. You can have some time for yourself everywhere, but to avoid getting isolated from the world (for example when you are depressed), its good to have someone around you.
