I prefer to live alone because I feel more comfortable and independent that way. In shared accommodation, you often have to compromise on your privacy and personal space.

I would rather live on my own than share my space with someone else, as I genuinely value my privacy and find peace and quiet essential to my well-being.

I consider myself lucky in life because, apart from three years, I have always lived in a community.

I think it depends on the situation. When I move to a new city or country, it is better to live in a shared house. You do not have to pay all the bills alone, and you can meet new people and exchange experiences with them. However, after some time, when you become more settled and financially stable, I think it is better to live alone because you have more privacy and independence.
