Live alone or live in a family?

[gamecubeguy214 2,511]

You know how much I live making X or Y threads, so I came up with this one. Would you rather live alone, in peace, not having to deal with people in person, or would you rather have a family, with a spouse and children? Live and have a right to eat what you want and to choose if you want to exercise, or for people to motivate you to stay healthy? To live in a small house on your own, paying less money, or pay a lot of money on a big house that has a lot of people?

this is a tough decision. living alone may be cool but gets scary every little while. whereas living with a big family gets a little nuisance

[Megas 27,064]

I still live with my parents, even though I really want to move out and live on my own eventually. But school combined with it being insanely difficult for me to get a job and not having a drivers license(fear of driving, hoping to have it by summer though) is just making it difficult on me right now

As anti-social as I might be at times, I honestly cannot live alone, for several reasons. So I currently live with my dad, though I have tons of grievances with him lately. I hope to one day live with my boyfriend though, that would make me so wonderfully happy.

Live alone. Don't get me wrong, i do want to have family... someday. But I don't think im cut out for responsibilities just yet. Also i dislike almost all forms of human contact, so there's that.

[The Mint Pone 2,292]

I think i would prefer living on my own. I adore quiet and i have always lived with many siblings which is always very loud. I would only enjoy this for a few years though. Then i would need human company!

[Fluttershyfan94 5,738]

I'd prefer just living alone to be honest, having family would be nice later on perhaps.

[Envy 5,999]

I've never lived alone, however, it looks like I will be getting that experience soon. I can hardly believe it!

 

I'm not thinking I'm going to like it. I think I'll spend all of my time terrified of it... Especially at dark... and power outages. OMG! >.< How am I going to survive this?

Back before I was married I did prefer living alone because that means I can just interact with people whenever. I have control of WHEN I interact with people, but when you live with people you have no choice whether you're in the mood or not.

I just lock my bedroom door and put in my earbuds... No one can interact with me, then. =P

Try that with a wife in the house. Doesn't work so well.

[Dark Horse 12,799]

I'm a man who likes his solitude, having space to myself and being alone with my thoughts. However, I'd still rather have family with me than live by myself. Humans need interaction, and I think living alone for too long would eventually start to have negative repercussions on my health. Sometimes I just need a second opinion, or even a shoulder to cry on. When that happens, the first people I think of is my family, because no one knows me better.

 

Living alone would honestly just make me feel incomplete.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,329]

I live with my family. Well my blended family that is. I'm 18 and about to graduate so I'm not quite ready to move out.

Yeah, I can't speak on that manner. *sulks*

[Thuja 3,658]

I've been living on my own for a couple of months now, it's pretty nice.  I'll try enjoying it while I can~.

[Whitewolf 106]

I still live with my parents, but later I'd like to live alone, as I'm a lonely person who enjoy tranquility and that I don't want to have children. 

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

I would rather live alone. Then I wouldn't have to have anyone bossing me around...

[Lightning-Twister 58]

I can imagine it getting bored living alone every single day.

However, I still prefer being "home alone".

 

The only real problem is: I can't cook.

[Celtore 2,769]

You know... I think I'd have to go with living alone. That doesn't necessarily mean no pets, plus you still get to hang out with your work chums and friends outside of work. The inner scrooge is pretty warm with that idea too...

Being 26 with a husband and two children and currently having to live with my parents again it is very difficult. Finding work with my degree is extremely frustrating since most jobs require 3 years experience in my field.

 

 

HELLO!!! I'm trying to get the job to gain the experience!! 

 

It was much easier when we were on our own. I love my family, but I wouldn't wish having to move back in with family after you have been out on your own for quite a while on anyone. 

[Moony the Cat 3,697]

Im not exactly sure what im going to choose, on the one hand, if i would have someone in my Life, i would be afraid that i have to give up a few things, that that person wouldnt like or that i have to change a lot.

 

On the other hand, being alone forever sounds really depressing and also sometimes im afraid, when im alone because something could happen to me.

 

So i guess, i would like to have a girlfriend maybe..but not a big Family. I think having a Girlfriend could already be to much for me. I really dont want, to have a big Family of my own.

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

I live with a roommate nowadays and we give each other our space so it works out pretty well, not to mention the financial breaks. We get along but also get out of the way if the other needs privacy. 

Having a family is important though. I grew up with my parents and two siblings. And while that can get crazy sometimes, it has perks that make it ultimately worthwhile. I'm not married with kids, but if I was, I imagine that would be even better because I'd have a significant say in the life I make and have something worth all the ups and downs that would go with it. 

[FirePuppy 626]

I really want to live on my own someday, so I clicked on "living with family".

[Applefolf 147]

As much as I like solitude, living with a family is the better option. Sure you'll have your falling outs every now and again, but they'll be worth it for everything a family can bring.

[BennyBoy 21]

Right now, I live with my family - Granparents, mother and sister as well as a couple of dogs, and in three days, my cat, Brenda. 

 

However, when I get out of college, I plan to live on my own (hopefully Brenda will still be there), and I can't decide if I should foster pit bulls or save up for a tibetan mastiff. I adore those dogs! 

 

Maaaaaayybe i'll get married. But it's probably not going to happen. I can just imagine my wife or husband being so needy and want-y that I can't stand them anymore. To be honest, if I were ever to marry someone, I would like them to be there for me through everything and not give up so easily. To not care too much about the newest I-phone or laptop or fashion design. To ignore their cell phone in favor of taking long walks, going to see a movie, or just discussion the things we love, the thing we hate. Every marriage I see of young couples, the lady always wants the husband to take the bill but never offer to take it themselves, and the husband is always trying to please but nothing huge is reciprocated. 

 

But if I could find the perfect person (when i'm old enough! I won't marry at sixteen!) they have to love dogs, not want children, and know that there are some times when I just want to be alone - I don't hate them, not at all - I just wake up and not feel right. 

 

I doubt a person like this exists, though. People don't just like being told that their partner doesn't want to see them "because." That's rude. They'd more than likely think they're missing out on a whole lot because i'm not particularly the adventurous type, not by a long shot. 

 

But friends is just like family! So I have a lot of those in my school, and on here!
