I’ve lived with 3 guys who I met on craigslist for the past year and before that, I’ve lived with my family.
I’d much rather live alone. I don’t think I’ve had a place to myself for more than a week at a time. Unfortunately, living in San Diego is too expensive for me to live alone.
Privacy isn’t my huge issue, I don’t really do anything that needs privacy. But my problem is that I worry too much about everything, it makes me feel like I’m walking on eggshells. I worry about waking people up as I walk down the hall in the morning, I worry about accidentally using someone else’s milk, or ruining their organization in the fridge, I worry about stealing parking spots. Despite the fact that nobody in this house has ever complained about me doing those, and I know that realistically, people don’t give a damn about those things.
It’s stress I’d prefer not to have in my life.
