Feel like I should stop enjoying what I'm doing

A part of me feels like I should at some point stop doing some of the things I do in my own time and change routines as though my parents are going to step in and drag me away from the routines I do now to new life routines. My parents would never do that. I find myself enjoying my own company, doing my hobbies at home and going to shops and places on my own by bus or car or by walking there and that's something I've been doing probably since I started working.

Yet I complain I'm not sharing life with someone else like other people do who have a partner and yet I carry on being by myself doing whatever but my chances of meeting someone at the right time are not always available when I'm there.

I don't know if I've become too comfortable within my own comfort zone or something and that's why things don't change much.

I find myself not always able to cook and have no experience of independent living so far as I still live with parents. I have lived by myself in the past when parents were away for a few days or a week etc but I've never wanted to get out of the house and get a flat for myself and a potential partner.

Just be glad you're not having to pay rent and bills and listen to annoying neighbours all thee time Chris.
