I've tried living alone, living with other people(friends etc), living with another persons family(complicated lol) and living with my family(most of my life). Personally i'd prefer not living alone, the freedom you get from living alone isn't as great as i thought.

Living alone just didn't work for me as i thought. The fun of being unconstrained didn't last very long and having nobody around is alot lonelier than you would think(or at least it doesn't work out for me i get into really dark thinking alone). So i preferred living with somebody always whether it'd be family, friends, romantic someone or strangers.

There's nothing wrong with living with your family btw but if you feel like you wanted to live alone or live with somebody that isn't your blood relation and that you would feel like you'd grow that way then go for it. If it doesn't work you could always go back home with your family.

I'm sure your parents like having you around. It probably makes them happy (even if they don't show it) and your younger brother probably enjoys it a lot too. This is assuming of course that you aren't too disruptive or whatever, which I doubt.

Living alone comes with its challenges. Technically speaking, it's harder to live alone. You have to deal with everything on your own, and sometimes you don't have the time or energy or care to do it, but you have to. That being said, I think this creates more opportunities to grow as a person. You seem to think you've gotten used to it and learned all there is to learn about being alone, but are you sure of that?

Along the same lines, what if you meet someone special (ie get a gf). If you're stuck with your parents, this will be more complicated. Therefore, living alone will create the space you can use to fill with something unplanned (not necessarily a gf but it can also be a new hobby or whatever) and potentially great, as opposed to staying with your family.

Anyway, you're young. You can live some time with your family, then go back to living alone. Whatever you do, don't lose your independence.

I guess you could stay with your family for now and move out later when you get better reasons to do so.

Living along was really a challenge for me. I have lived for almost 5 years without my family when I was studying for my college in another country. I do believe that living with family brings the inner peace to a person and makes one feel relaxed too. Now I am a well-settled person and lives with my whole family and very soon I will be shifting to my new home which is designed by the team of office furniture solutions as per my requirements. I am pretty much excited to shift to my new home with my family.

Girls is enough reason to live alone.

Most in the west like their independence.

I'm in China at the moment and I understand that my cousins had their parents plan out their entire lives. The grandparents will stay with them their entire life from college to marriage to grandkids and eventually the adults taking care of their family. But I grew up in the west. We think differently. I don't want parents telling at me or telling me when to sleep or when I can use my computer (not often). I don't want them constantly hounding me for grandkids. I understand it may be different for you and you're happy with your situation though.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.
