I Still Live With My Parents

I still live with my parents and sometimes I feel ashamed. It has it positives and negatives. In the long run I'm saving money and I'm being taken care of (I don't have to buy groceries, pay the bills, etc., but I also feel lonely at times. I don't want to hang out with my parents. Usually I'm okay with hanging around by myself, but at times I feel lonely. Like how much better would it be if I had a friend or a buddy here to keep me company. It's bitter sweet. I could move out if I wanted to, I've got the funds to do so, but something is holding me back that I can't pinpoint. I don't know if I'm just comfortable here and being out on my own is a little freightening, or what. Does anyone else ever feel this way? Stuck and lost about what to do?

I still live at home with my parents as I'm going to school and working part time and living on my own is not feasible economically at this time. I wish I could live by myself at times because my little sister is a pain in the butt I was getting into my things and my life. But I do love the security and the fact that some things are taken care of for me. I'm only 19 but I'll be off on my own soon I hope

@AndieBarrons9919: I am 19 as well and know that's it's not that abnormal to still live at home, but most of my friends live at their college, or in an apartment and I just think about how things would be if I were on my own, often. Yet I do nothing about it!

@basiclife98: yeah some of my friends still live at home too. I do go visit some of my friends who live in the dorm and wow that is fun it's also pretty crowded and a little disgusting.
