I don't like share a house or flat with stranger. Basicly I'm not very sociable person so I prefer live alone. It's simplier. I can do what I want and there aren't any handicap from housemate.

Living with other people who have common or consistent personalities with you could be useful, and helpful for costs, too. Any way you should have a private area for yourself to be alone sometimes.

To be honest, I prefer live alone. Because I love quiet and freedom. When I live alone I can do everything I love without fear of disturbing other people. I can cook my favourite food, play the music ewith out loud, get up late, etc... But now I don't have enough money to live alone. When I enough money I will move in a single ensuite room near center city.
I really like to live alone. I can not share my living room or kitchen with other people. I'd like to cook my food to my own kitchen. also it is hard for me that tallorate other people

To be honest I really enjoy living alone I don’t feel bored or isolated at all. Also, there are so many reason why I don’t want to live with stranger. Just imagine they bring their friends have a party overnight, turn on music, talk and laugh loudly and they don’t clean the house even we accepted by fair rule to live together in a house at the first time however they skip the rules sometimes and blame for what else reason. It wears me out to live with a housemate like that.
