I prefer to share a house because I don't want to be alone.Not very much like 2 housemates.

I prefer to live alone but I am living with others now. Because rental fee is very expensive.

I prefer live alone because it's comfortable, safe and privacy for me 

But if I will share my home with people know them like my friends there is no problem for me on the contrary it will make time more enjoyable  😶‍🌫️

I prefer to live alone because I don't like noise and living with someone means noise.

I prefer to live alone, but if the price is too expensive, it's okay for me to share with others.

I prefer living alone since it is make more convenient and secure. Overwise if I can’t afford the rent I will be ok with sharing my flat and having housemate.

Actually I prefer living alone but sometimes I feel lonely so it would be great if you have a roommate or two

Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?

I think I prefer to live alone. But I want a bigger house with a big table, because I want to invite my friends to come and have dinner together. We will make food together and talk happily.
