Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?
I would prefer to live alone because I love to enjoy by myself quiet. I think that it is much more freedom to me rather than staying in a shared house. However, Living alone in foreign countries is a bit expensive. If I can not afford to pay high rents then I must stay to share a house.
If I have to choose I prefer to live alone, but now I'm living with my friend. We get along with each other so until now I still live with her.
I enjoy living and sharing in a room, especially with different and strange people.
I prefer to live alone. I don't like to share anyone my space. I feel this is my free and peaceful area. So, after a crowded day and noisy people, I met. I don't see and hear all that in my room.
If I have to choose, I definitely prefer to live alone. The main reason is that I don't like to share spaces like a bathroom with unknown people. 😀
i will comfortable if i have my own badroom but it's okey to share bathroom or anything else. because important thing for me jus space for my own.
for me, it's okay to share a house. moreover, it will be save money if you rent a house with housemates. if the house is yours, it can be your side income. but if it is about sharing a bedroom, no, I can't. because sometimes I need to be alone. I need solitude to think.
I prefer to live alone. Because I used to sharing the room with my friend but I don't feel comfortable and feel free. So that I moved in order room after, when I live alone I can do everything without have pay everyone attention. So amazing!
from fourteen years I live alone in an apartment i think it is very hard to share
bathroom with other people!
I prefer living alone. I didn't think I was comfortable living together with anyone but my family. But, I am living in a shared house now. Luckily, my housemates don't really bother each other and we have someone to look for the house so we don't need to share the house chores. It still feels like I am living alone.
