Still living at home in my early 30s. The cost of getting a place on my own is one reason, but sometimes I think I use that as an excuse; because I know that if I got a house of my own, I would spend all my time on my own. Now, a large part of me would like that a lot, and even at home I effectively spend most of my time alone. But when I think about being truely alone all the time (outside of going to work) it actually scares me a bit that I'd go slightly bonkers...I rant away to myself enough already!
I can't actually imagine moving out and being on my own in a different house..I've lived in the same house all my life.
I can relate. I had my own apartment a year ago and I was often alone unless I went to a pub. I don't think in terms of planning for socializing and since I didn't plan, I was in the apartment alone. At the house, I have lots of projects to keep me occupied that I didn't have in an apartment. Yeah, and I'm 43.
