Which do you like living by yourself or with someone?
I like living by myself and I've been living by myself for 7 years. Living alone is always free. For example, I can eat something and go to bed anytime I want. I don't need to attension someone and fight someone. That's why I like it. But I'm bad at cleaning my room and cooking. So I don't often do them and it's one of bad points living alone I think. Moreover there are special rules for myself like getting up at 6 a.m. even day off morning, the time for dinner and my rutines. I think that their rules may prevent from living with someone because I can't stand someone who can't understand their rules. Recently, I try to decrease my rules to get married though I don't have even a girlfriend.haha Truth be told, I'm satisfied my life now and I don't need it so far. I have a lot of things to do I want every day like study English to study abroad, training or something. Maybe I can't do their everything if I have a girlfriend. So I want to do my best to advance to my ideal future now. Of course, I'd like to get married with someone someday. Thank you.

Which Do You Prefer: To Live with Someone or By Yourself?
I like living by myself and I've been doing so for the past seven years. Living alone is always less restricting. For example, I can eat whatever I want and then go to bed whenever I chose to. I don't need to pay attention to someone or have fights with them. That's why I like it. However, since no one else is around, I'm bad at cleaning up my room and cooking decent meals for myself. So, I don't often do either of those things and I think that’s the bad side of living alone. Moreover, I follow set routines and make special rules for myself like getting up at 6 a.m., even on my days off, the time I eat dinner, and many of my other activities. I think that those rules may prevent others from living with me because I can't stand anyone who wouldn’t follow my rules. Recently, I tried to modify my way of life, my rules, in the hope of getting married, but the funny thing is, I don't have even a girlfriend yet! Ha-ha! In all truth, I'm satisfied my life now and I don't need a girlfriend or to be married, so far. I have a lot of things that I want to do every day like study English, etc. If I had a girlfriend, most likely I couldn’t do everything that she wanted me to. Regardless, I only want to do my best to advance toward my ideal future right now. Of course, someday, I'd like to get married with someone… (But, I’ll deal with all that then!)
Hi Takaya. Good job! Whatever changes that I’ve made… [You know the rest from past corrections!] Yes, living alone does have its advantages, and, as you probably already realize, the secret to being happy, to being content, is to stay busy. When it is “time” for you to have a girlfriend and/or get married, it will happen, so do not worry about it! I hope that this helps you. J.

I can totally relate to this. It's very difficult to live with others because we're all so different. I had to get up for work very early but lived with someone who could stay in bed until late. No matter how hard I tried to be quiet I would wake them up because we were in the same room. And whenever I live with my family they do the oddest things and we don't like the same foods and we have conflicting ideas. I think that living alone is better or living with someone who is similar to you in ideas and habits and is tolerant of your differences. But I think you need to try living in different ways (with your family, in a sharehouse, with a roommate, with a host family or landlord, etc.) This way you can learn how to deal with people and how to cohabit with them. You learn about what you can accept (a child who sings all day, a flat mate who practices her violin every day) and what you can't (a man who screams at his family every night, a male room mate who decides to be creepy and cuddle with you). You learn what you can change about yourself (cleaning more often) and what you can't (accepting unwarranted criticism or emotional abuse). Living alone has made you more independent and you have realized who you are, what you're good at, etc.
This is a very good topic and your entry made me think a lot about it.

Haha I understand you about cooking and cleaning :c In my case I am very busy and, between my work and studies, when I arrive to my house the only thing I want do is to sleep. Fortunately my sister cook me sometimes ^^U
