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. 😀

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!

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.

Hello,
I prefer to live alone. I like to keep my routine, I don't like someone interrupting me when I am working or reading. Even though it's more expensive than living with my family, it's my favorite lifestyle.

Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?

Of course I prefer live alone, but I live with my husband and fluffy cat.
And I didn't live anytime with housemates.
