A growing number of people are choosing to live by themselves rather than with their kin. In my opinion, the primary reason for this tendency is prioritizing personal space and boundaries, and it has positive effects as people become more independent and start earning money.
When living with family, people are often interrupted while doing personal work, which results in frustration and emotional exhaustion. People who live in big families and have to share their rooms with siblings frequently do not have any time to do their hobbies or just be alone because there is no personal space. As a result, they decide to move out to have an opportunity to work or relax without being constantly distracted and annoyed. To illustrate, it was found in a recent government survey that 61% of people living alone do so because they feel uncomfortable living with other people.
I think it is a positive development because living alone helps young people to become more independent. Whilst living with family, chores—such as cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning—are done by others, and there is no need to spend money on products. After moving out, however, young adults have to learn these skills and find a job. For example, when I started living by myself and working, I learnt how to save extra money and spend them efficiently. Therefore, living alone encourages one to foster essential skills, financial literacy, and become a high-functioning member of the society.
In conclusion, people live alone due to the need to live in peace and have a personal space, and it results in them becoming more responsible and skilled.
