Sharing an apartment or living alone - What works for you?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm living with roommates and I think it depends on what kind of person they are. Right now I like it because they are respectful to me and I hang out with one of them occasionally and we all get along pretty well. I've had other roommates before them that would seem to talk down on me and it was hard to avoid them since we lived in the same apartment. Then I had one roommate last year that stole things from our apartment, but she was eventually evicted. In those cases I think I would rather live on m own, but right now I would rather be with the roommates that I have now because I would feel a little uneasy living alone.

I did what I could to avoid the roommate who got upset all the time because they would just get me upset. They had also managed to cut me down about how I was a misfit.

I've had roommates in the past. They all didn't turn out so well, though.

One guy told me to move out because his cousin from Poland was coming and needed the room (in 3 days).

One sold the house and I had to leave (again in just 3 days).

I had roommates in Nashville but they turned out to be ripping me off. I was paying most of the rent but didn't find out till later. I moved out so I won't get into a fight.

I would love a good roommate, though. I would have company, someone to talk to, maybe even go to the movies or restaurants with, and help pay the bills. It's just that I don't trust people like I used to when I was younger. Those days are over. I'll just stay by myself. Less stress that way.
