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.
I prefer living alone in a rented room for my privacy, but I prefer living in a shared house to build a social network and community.
