I prefer living alone, this way you keep everything according to you, but if you have friends or people whom you already know well, then it is better to share a house.

I prefer to live alone, I need to be in the quiet and tidy house. I don’t appreciate that things change a round me. But it’s wonderful to receive friends and famil.

I prefer to share a house with other than live alone. But if our housemate is not satisfied with us, everything can become terrible! :)
