Is it normal to want to move away alone?

I sometimes think of gathering my savings, transferring to another location of the company I work for, renting an apartment, and living alone far away where the cost of living is cheaper.

Reasons why: My parents had me cosign for a house and they didn't sell the house by the time my brother graduated like they said they would. I'm more than willing to cut my losses and remove myself from the title and mortgage, but they're making it complicated. When I get out of this, the next house I get will be in my name alone.

My boyfriend's sister always claims to be too depressed to work. Her parents pay for her car, credit, and a whole bunch of other shit and she acts spoiled when they can't. She always dates people that are just like her. Since my boyfriend is depressed and probably won't be able to take care of his sister or her significant other, she'll probably turn to me for a place to live. I refuse to enable her.

My sister always complains about being poor and a mother. She gets pissy when I don't pick up certain groceries for her. She's poor, but she's a privileged poor. She lives with her rich in law's in a multimillion dollar area who are always more than willing to spoil her and my nephew.

My brother can't manage his finances. His credit score is 422 and he keeps nagging me to cosign some car loan because mine is 814. I make half of what he does and unlike him, I can save money, manage my bills, and I don't go into credit card debt buying frivolous stuff.

Are my reasons for wanting to move nnormal?

    Why do you think I left home and have never lived anywhere near most of my family.

    Get out of that mortgage and find someplace peaceful. Make new friends, and enjoy life.

    I rarely talk with many of my brothers and sisters. They are negative... I like positive people.

    I wish you well with this,

    What you're describing is normal.

    In short: You can move alone if you so wish to, you don't have to move with someone.

    I agree I think you should move. Me and my wife both have crazy families that we moved away from. I see them on holidays and thats it. Theres hardly any drama anymore

    Living alone scares the shit out of me, if I’m not getting 24/7 human interaction I start to go insane. I can be alone if I’m outside working, but never indoor.

    So by “move away alone”, do you mean live entirely by yourself ? If so I think you’re crazy, but that’s only because I’m the opposite extreme

      Really? I don't live completely alone, I live with my Siamese cat, and my parents live next door. How many people do you live with?

        My wife, sister in law, and my nephew, all live with me. Plus I own a large property where I have boarders and hired help and neighbors frequently coming and going

        I have big issues with myself being alone, just doesn’t sit right with me

          I guess I prefer to be alone.

    When I was 15 I hitchhiked across the country after running away. At 18 I joined the army, and relocated again after my last tour. I think change is nice, just not everyone can up and leave on a whim(Some people are more social/need consistency)

    Totally normal. I like living alone too, it really helps to reduce stress from family drama. It can be a weird feeling at first if you’ve never lived on your own before, but it’s very much worth it in the long run.
