Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?
I prefer to live alone rather than share a house with someone I don't know (a housemate). However, I like living with my family. I help my elderly mother, and I live near my sister and nieces.
I prefer live alone
Living in a shared flat may be for a long run. However, having an understanding of the flatmate's expectations might ease the trouble.
In an ideal world I would rather live alone without a housemate. that is for reasons, and one of them is the friction of awkwardness that would be because of the differences between us. Plus, renting a flat without any housemate gives you a lot of freedom and privacy.
In this moment of my life i prefer live alone, because a did share many times a house, when i was more younger, but now more older a choice more peace e quiet in a house, soo be alone is more good for me.
I prefer living alone, but in some moments (as holidays for example) is nice shared with other people because is more relaxed, more free time too compared with normal days
I prefer living alone to having a housemate, because I think my habits aren't suitable with anyone else to live with. On the other hand, I don't like being annoyed by the other in the house.
I would prefer to live alone rather than sharing a house. The reason I like living and being alone is that I come from quite a big family we have always lived together which is so disturbing in some cases, you have less privacy in a house where many people live. so, living alone is one of my dreams because it gives me a chance to focus and when I am alone I enjoy my moments more than being in a crowded place or having people around me. I hate crowded places full of people, because they give me an intense headache as a result I am in love with being alone, living alone, eating alone, going shopping alone and doing everything alone I just don't want people around me.
I prefer to live alone because you have more privacity and can do the things without interruptions.
I prefer to share house because it is cheaper and we won't feel lonely. However, it may be disturbing if your housemates are not responsible and respectful.
