living alone vs living with others Anonymous 309168[Reply]
have you had the opportunity to live alone?
what kind of roommates have you experienced? who has been the best? the worst?
what living situation do you like best of all?
I had the wonderful opportunity to live alone for the past 6 months, it was bliss, but i fell into bad habits. I have a roommate now, she just moved in this past week. wow its such a great change, because she is so nice, thoughtful, clean, it motivates me to be clean too…I've lived with moids in the past, roommates and boyfriends, but of course platonic women are always the best to live with, as long as they are a similar speed to myself.

had an ex roommate who was going through addiction problems and would send me long text messages accusing me of stealing her food (i only ate food at my job because i was so broke at this time). she would also talk shit about me loudly to her friend and family members. i think with the mix of her trying to quit, mental problems, and wanting to live alone she took it out on me as i didn't do much but go to school/work and clean the house. it made me sad because we were ok friends before this.
i live with two roommates now that are very chill and clean well, vice versa. i'm glad i can actually come home without fear now.

Wish I could. Now I’m just lazy living at home because it’s expensive to maintain and I don’t want to work hard. Why pay rent or a mortgage if I’m gonna die alone with no one to pass it down to
40 is around the corner so it’s like what’s the point

I lived in a house with six men for like six months. One of my roommates was an ex, but we hadn’t been together for over two year,s and it surprisingly wasn’t horrible. I didn’t really socialize with many of them, but everyone stayed very cordial. I would’ve def preferred a different living arrangement, but I needed a new place to stay asap, and the room was free and the rent was cheap.
I still live with men, but there are no awkward dynamics this time and I’m a lot less avoidant towards them. We’ll hang out or cook together, and it all feels very normal.
I did share a house with women for a few years before, but they were all middle-aged and I never really connected with any of them. One of my roommates also owned the house and was functionally my landlord, which freaked me out of spending much time outside of my room.
Living with men is such a coin toss though, and I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you know them all beforehand and you have the dynamics sort of already settled in a place that feels comfortable for everyone.
I can’t imagine living alone. Every house I’ve shared has felt so alive and I’d hate to let that go. It'd be nice not to feel panopticoned every time I'm in the kitchen though.
