What do think that are the biggest advantage and disadvantages of living alone compared to living with someone ?

Single life gives much freedom and independence. You can make your own decisions, you can spend your free time in the way you desire and you can enjoy peace and calmness as well as freedom without having to compromise. It will allow you to become more emotionally grown, more responsible, and familiar with yourself.

However, it can be lonely sometimes, especially when you are feeling like spending good time with someone or seek their company in times of trouble. Life becomes easy and pleasant when one is living with someone because this brings in companionship, emotional support and shared responsibility. However, it may also mean adaptation to the habits, visions and style of life of another person.

Do you believe that living with somebody helps to improve emotional well-being, or do you think it sometimes limit personal growth? Why?

Living with someone can significantly lead to emotional well being since the person will get another person, comfort and emotional support. The stress, loneliness and anxiety generated in the daily living can be lessened by sharing the day to day experiences with another person. One can always get stronger emotionally due to the ability to open up and lean on one person during a difficult circumstance. As far as it paralyzes the personal development in some cases when the individual is too dependent on the other person or lacks the room to reflect and be by himself.

Through cohabitation, individuals can sacrifice their personal ambitions or habits to ensure peace which can retard personal growth. Thus, although cohabitation can help to enhance emotional wellbeing, personal boundaries and individuality should also be upheld to make emotional attachment as well as personal development co-exist without decisively conflicting with each other.

So at what stage in life do you think it’s best to live alone, and when is it better to share your space with someone?

SOURCE

In the early years of life and at a young stage of adulthood it is in most times advisable to live independently so that you get to discover yourself and be independent as well as set out plans and goals of your own choice. It is one of the occasions when you get to know what you love, plan things and devise the emotional part of yourself without any distraction.

Being single teaches you how to be disciplined and make choices. It is however far much more satisfying to share your space with a human being if you are already autonomous emotionally or when you are ready to have a companion or a mate. It is preferable where you require a person to back you, collaborate and even in your life such as in marriage, friendship or family. Living with an individual at this age enables attachment, cooperation and financial stability.

If you had to choose between peace and companionship, which would you prioritize in your living situation and what shaped that choice?

I would emphasize the aspect of peace in my living status since inner peace and stability are important to personal development and happiness. Peace enables me to think, focus and have emotional balance. Although companionship is good and much needed, it may at times cause tension or distracters as long as values and lifestyles are not the same. My decision is influenced by the previous experiences of being able to have personal space and time alone to deal with the problems more easily and remain productive.

Peace does not imply being isolated but merely living in a place where understanding and respecting is done. In my opinion, a company can only flourish in a calm environment and, therefore, making peace the first thing naturally leaves space to nurture healthier and more significant relationships.
