has anyone ever gone from living by themselves to willingly moving

The most positive thing about renting a room compared to renting an apartment is the money you save.

>possible crazy roommates
I live in central jersey. 2/3 roommates were crazy enough that it warranted police intervention - one stole $200 from me, and the other was psychotic and threatened my life.

in the remaining 1/3, they will be quirky but able to keep you company.

I'm not sure why you'd want to take that risk, but at least be informed.

Your new roommates aren't necessarily going to be your life pals. College kids live in the sky, are more social, and less likely to be criminally insane, so maybe rent with college kids.

What would be best is making your own friends. You can even share an apartment with a poor friend, and that would maybe be a bonding experience, if the person is quality.

>What would be best is making your own friends

I have tried, it's just not happening. Maybe it's me, but I pretty much only have acquaintances. I had a much easier time making friends in college when I had roomates to live with and go do stuff with, and I want to try and replicate that

the only way I know how to make good friends is to have a common struggle and/or join a common cause.

>college
maybe try to recreate this kind of environment. it's not like everyone in college goes on to grey office jobs. some graduates are still very much alive and out there.

Are you going to make an ad?

You should definitely do it OP, sounds like you have issues making friends and this will provide a great way to do so. And not just iffy friends, but good solid life friends.

If it goes wrong it will be really bad.
i had nothing but, crazy or shit people for roommates. don't do it.

You should note that because most people aren't insane but rather OK than you're mozt likely to end up with at-least decent roomates. When you rent where I live in, you get to see the roomates before you close the deal and it gives you a good idea whether or not they're reasonable and nice.
