How many people on this forum live on their own

[hidwell]

I have always lived with my parents, and was just wondering how many of us with Social Phobia live on their own, and how do they deal with it ?

44 and live with my parents. It doesn't help that my job only pays me $45k a year and will never give me a promotion. So for me, looking for other work that doesn't stress me out, aggravate my phobias and allows me to live comfortably is a full time chore. With my parents, I get meals, cable, my laundry done and them of course, so I'm not alone. I'm not financially in a place to think of anything else and having no friends, no where to go anyway.

At the moment, I partly live on my own and partly live with my parents. I'm in the process of transitioning to live on my own.

18 and I still live with my mom. I'm not ready to move out for at least another 6 years.

Im 18 and live with my parents still, my sister who is 21 and "normal" does aswell, the idea of living alone is really scary for me..not to mention i would have to do my own washing and ironing :O lol

 

[megalon]

As much as I wish I could move out, I can't afford it at the moment. I think it's a major source of my current depression.

You go girl!! I hope to be moving out not too long from now as well. I'm trying to find a community college with dorms that has the things I find necessary. I'm also a bit indecisive about what I want to do in life. I'm happy for you. I hope everything goes great.

I know how you all feel about all that responsibility. It's alot to take in especially for someone with SA or whatever. What I want more then anything is to get out of my parents house, I'm afraid, I'm not sure I can handle it, but I have to, and I'm going to. I'm sure we'll all find our way, just keep trying.

I live alone for now, but I'm moving in with my fiancee in 3-4 months.

 

[GhastlyCC]

Im 22 and live with my parents.
My two older brothers live here too.(They don't have SA)
Id love nothing more than to move out.
These people are ****ing insane.

I would love to live alone. It's the financial side of things that doesn't feel the same way.

 

[MaliceInWickedland]

I live with my mom and plan for it to always be that way. I know that sounds weird but she's literally all I have left and I can't imagine being away from her. We have a very close relationship and I treat her like the sister I never had. Naturally we get on each others' nerves sometimes but that's to be expected and even then I can't bring myself to live apart from her. I guess I really am too sheltered and dependent :/

 

[Invisibleman]

As much as I would love to live on my own my confidence in doing so has been shattered from years of my sister putting me down.

I know how you feel, I have never gotten on well with my sister. Luckily for me she moved out 18 years ago, and I rarely see her.

Yeah. Shes made fun of me ever since we were little that i was never going to live on my own and that I would live with mom until im 40. After hearing this for years my self fulfilling prohecy has long set in, thanks to her I keep questioning whether I actually have the independence to move out and go to university. Shes shattered my confidence.

This is me exactly. I want to move out on my own and be a lot more independent but money won't let me. You and I share the same desires, Lost.

I feel for you, with family like that who needs enemies ::

 

[coyote]

i live on my own

unless you count the mysterious creatures living under my house

it is nice to have the occasional house guest, though

especially if she's pretty

 

[Section_31]

My wife and me both live in my dads basement. Shes finishing up school, and im paying my way through a bad financial debt that i screwed up on and got myself into.

We wont be out for at LEAST another 2 yrs, maybe 3.

This is all i ever hear about from her dad, he likes to remind me of how much of a failure he considers me to be. Makes it difficult to want to spend time with the inlaws.

Dunno why this girl loves me! lol

18, lives at my parents with my brother which is 23 years old and without SA so i figure i can stay for a few more years..

I'm kinda uncertain how it will be once i move though, it will get very lonely.. Oh well, one gets used to everything i suppose
