this is probably an unpopular opinion because I see a lot of people dreaming about having their own apartment and stuff but ive been rotating between living w my parents, a roommate and on my own and let me tell you...
a roommate is usually fun if they respect your personal space and dont want to talk 24/7, like we get to do our own things. my parents are eh but atleast i have company. but ALONE? i swear ive never been more suicidal than when ive lived alone. its hard too especially on weekdays because i cant go out as much so my daily routine was basically class —> home repeat. so I basically had no meaningful social interaction for 3-4 days out of the week (my friends are too busy)
Some people seem to thrive living on their own though and I wish I could... im not even an extrovert like that I just need to talk to someone when I want to
I get you. I still live with my parents but my sister had to move to Germany cuz of my brother-in-law's job. She often tells me how lonely she feels and how depression and helplessness creeps up whenever she's having a meal alone or when she is sick. Listening to her makes me so so sad and I don't know what will happen to me when it's my time to move out. I can't stand my father but I can at least talk to my mom whenever I feel like it. Besides I can barely function as it is, given my fucked up mental and physical health I really don't know how will I deal with all this when I'll be living on my own. I'm not looking forward to it tbh
