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.

I prefer to live alone, because I can make my own rules and  have more privacy.

I don't prefer to share a house. I would only accept to share a house only with my family not strangers . Also I like to live alone, this is my dream.

I guess both have their own benefits, while living alone allows you to be more independent and preserves your privacy, on the other hand, it can be very lonely depending on your life style and connections. Moreover, sharing a house can benefit you by spliting bills and household chores, but it can also be quite limiting if you consider that you might no be able to have pets or people over for a long period of time. Nowadays I am still living with my family, and it sure makes my life easier as we share responsabilities, but I think about having my own place soon, too.
