Do you enjoy living alone? What are the benefits of living by yourself and with others?

Yes, I do because when I lived with others, I argued with them because we made a rule about doing the housework, but sometimes my roommate doesn’t follow the rules.
She didn’t clean the bathroom and take out the rubbish. I would be in a bad mood when our home gets messy, so we argued easily. Living with others also requires you to share the bathroom and living room.
Sometimes, in the mornings I can’t use the bathroom immediately, because she is using it for a long time. So I can’t arrive at my office on time.

What are the benefits of living by yourself and with others

I do the housework once a week so I can keep the home clean for a long time. I can choose how to decorate because I don’t have to ask for anyone’s opinion. 

I have a private bathroom and kitchen so I can use them anytime I want. I don’t have to worry that there is no hot water when I take a shower.
You can enjoy your break in a quiet environment.

When I live with other people, If she asks, “Do you want to eat something at midnight?” I won’t be able to control myself. Finally, we always eat a lot of things and go to bed immediately.
But when I live alone, I don’t eat anything at midnight.
