Yeah also I feel like in Asia, most of us are pretty used to living with people especially in big cities? I live in HK where apartments are so small and expensive that a normal person with a normal job can’t really afford one, so most people either live with their parents even until their late 20s or move in with a friend or two in a super cramped space. Seoul is pretty much the same. Plus, Asian society is more collective, so people are more likely to compromise and live with others more harmoniously. In the West, individuality is so treasured that even the thought of giving up some personal relaxation for another person is unthinkable. Just my two cents.

Plus, I also went to a boarding school in high school where I shared a tiny room with 3 other people for two years, and then for my university, I’ve shared a tiny room washroom with two others. It takes some adjustment but it really isn’t difficult. I feel like after a while, even as an introvert, you get used to being around others that living completely alone feels a tiny bit isolating (especially as I don’t personally actively seek out social interaction most of the time).
