I don't think that sharing a house with someone is a great idea. For so many reasons such as ignoring your housemate's mentality and culture and also doing whatever you want at any time you wish is great.

I prefer to share the house because someday I will need someone to help me.

I haven't really asked myself that question, however, my instinct tells me I would prefer to live alone since I need my personal space.

I would prefer to live alone, since I enjoy being alone and minding my own business, and I think I can study better and do chores faster when there is no one around.

It's hard for me to choose between the two because I enjoy aspects of both. Ideally, a blend of the two would be perfect for me. Living alone gives me the freedom to maintain my privacy and do whatever I like, whether it's singing at the top of my lungs or walk around the house shirtless. on the other hand, living with my family offers companionship, a comforting presence during times when I'm sick or going through challenging phases. plus, there's the added benefit of having someone to cook for me, handle my laundry, and take care of the bills, which are things I wouldn't have to worry about them on my own.

I prefer to share my house because If you live alone and your are sick, nobody will be there to help you.

Hello everyone, my name is Thuy, I'm from Vietnam. I wanna share with you guys my opinion about living alone or sharing a house with the other. I like to live alone. Because, when I live alone, I can set up everything in my house by myself.

I have never tried to live with a housemate before,
but I think that I can't deal with a new person because I don't about their hygiene or personality.
I also don't like people that talk a lot. 
Maybe it would not that bad, but if I had to choose, I would choose to live alone because I like the calm. And I would also go outside a lot,  and call my friends to keep me company, so I wouldn't get depressed.
