I prefer to share a house to to live alone. Sharing a house is helpful especially when you are with your brothers and/or sisters. hence, i want to mention someone you know each other because it won't be difficult to be share the household activities.

In addition, it feels safe to be with someone else in the house. It is dangerous to live alone. For instance, if you feel unwell over the night he/she could take care of you and if you are sick he could carry out all home activities, including to prepare food and washing the clothes as well as to clean the house.

I always prefer to live alone because it is much more comfortable when you don't have to share the kitchen, bathroom and  living room with other guys

I prefer to live with other people, but sometimes i like to live alone, so i think shared room which an ensuite is suitable for me. Imagine that you have someone to share stories about work or school with, or just to chat, joke with about anything, etc; it makes us feel better after a long day. And whenever you need some quiet, you can just go back to your room and enjoy your own private space. This way helps me get good balance when living at home.

I'm fine with both options. Right now, I share an apartment with a female housemate. Sometimes I’d prefer to be alone, but it's also nice to have someone to spend time with.

If it has to be with my friend, I'll prefer to share a house rather than living alone

I prefer to live alone because I can do whatever I want. I will feel uncomfortable if I live with someone else that I don’t know. If it was my friend, I would be happy to share the same room.☺️

As a Person who values privacy, I'm comfortable living a lone, but sometimes it's nice to invite my friends over, and enjoy some fun moments together.
