hi
am eventually wanting to live more independently sooner rather than later and have own terms & not have to fit in with the persons values that you live with such as what you wear to places or be able to get to places how you want & choose where you stay every time there is a family function somewhere away from home & the only way to do that is live more independently & am waiting until am able to buy.
& also am wanting to have people over when you want & entertain & stuff and your grandmothers family used to go to her house but she being 82 is getting too tired now & thats one reason for wanting to have a place of own to have people over.
the reason as said that have found lockdowns & find quarantine or restrictions hard is because am at a age & point in live of wanting own independent space and independence and not have to fit in with the values of the person you live with & also am wanting a proper shed thats better than that garden shed thats as good as your uncles shed is
and every time theres lockdowns you are stuck with the people in the current house and you just want independent space or when you have to quarantine because the place that am living at isnt big enough to seperate the chance is there of having to extend & when there is restrictions your only options to make it happen may have to close and you never know when & for how long every time it happens.
the 82 year old grandmother is now getting too tired to have the afternoon tea that she used to have and its making you want your own independent space and you are just waiting your turn.
am mostly happy living with current people

hello.
lockdowns can be difficult when in a confined space with other people. Mind you, even without lockdown one needs to be mindful of others and that goes both ways. I am guessing you are living with your extended family. It sounds like you cannot be yourself. Is that a fair statement? Or what is stopping your from having friends over?
With the independence you're looking for, what would be different to now?
