For years I've been feeling depressed, and confused. I felt alone, sad and depressed...
It just occurred to me that moving out is the best thing I'll do for myself. I mean I feel like, it's time for me to leave them for my growth. It just feels like I'm so dependent and I can't explore and I feel like I'm holding back in life, i want to feel independence and freedom, and live my life...

    I have lived by myself, with partners, with friends, and with parents as an adult, and I can safely say that there was absolutely no difference in my lifestyle, feelings or behaviour in any of those settings.

    I'm a womanising, drug abusing, narcissistic, ill tempered bastard, who does the exact same things no matter where I live.

    It's all a means to an end my friend.

    If you're at an appropriate age and you have the means to do it, I say go for it!

    It's nice to live on your own. I wanted to move out since I was 16 and then my wish finally got granted this past September. I wouldn't go back now, but sometimes I can't help but wish I had someone to take care of me.

    It's not as easy as it was say ten years ago.

    With the economy crashing the way it is at the moment a lot of people are losing their jobs and having to move back in with their parents anyway.

    Yes, you shouldn't stay with your parents forever. At a certain moment you just need a place of your own.

    The point of living with your parents is so that they can raise you and get you the hell out of their house so you can become independent.
