Living in a Share House is a Rite of Passage in our 20s

Living in a share house is a common and relatable experience during our 20s, as we transition from our family homes to independent lives. It is often an economically viable option and provides valuable social experiences. However, living with others can also be challenging due to conflicts, different living styles, and expectations. Research shows that housemates can impact our habits and well-being, both positively and negatively. While there are benefits to living with roommates, such as reducing loneliness and fostering social support, conflicts and tensions can have a significant effect on our mental well-being.
