So I'm still living with my parents, and 2 younger siblings. I'm 29 so it's kind of humiliating, especially when someone asks me where I live. I really hope to leave home this year. I'll need to get a job (I'm a grad student... sorta...) and I'm working on it.
When I finally do leave home though, I'm certain it won't be to live with roommates. I don't have anyone close I could move in with and I'm sure as hell not gonna live with a stranger. The way I know myself if I lived with a stranger I would end up barricading in my room, leaving it just for food/bathroom. No, home has to be the one place I'm really comfortable at and this means no roommates. This means I'll be living alone, probably for quite some time. Just me and the 4 walls. I've never done that and I'd like to hear from people who have been living on their own for a while now (a year or more) how you are coping with that, does the loneliness get to you or do you find ways to enjoy your freedom.
I'm kinda worried about that so let me know how you are doing.
