The number of
people

who prefer to live alone or in a shared flat has been increased. While there is a controversial argument that
this
Linking Words
trend would harm societies, I believe that it simultaneously has several benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, living alone might increase the risk of depression. If
people

do not have efficient communication, they will have to face mental health problems.
In other words
Linking Words
, humans need to get emotional support from their families or close friends to remain healthy. They
also

may feel bored in the case of loneliness for a long time.
For example
Linking Words
, I used to live alone during my college and I became too introverted to go out and too bored to stay home. Another difficulty of living on our own would be in the time of emergencies. If a person, who lives alone, became ill, there would be no one to take care of her or him.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, I think there are three main benefits
besides
Linking Words
the above-mentioned disadvantages of living alone.
Firstly
Linking Words
, it would make

more independent and raise the feeling of responsibility. They need to learn housework
such

as cooking and cleaning on their own and

, they should learn financial management to avoid pecuniary problems.
Secondly

, these

have more time to think and plan to reach their goals. They can

choose where to live to be close to their office or in the countryside.
Finally

, they are free to have any lifestyle they want that may affect their motivation and discipline. In conclusion,
although

there is a population who believe that living alone or with friends would negatively affect societies, in my opinion,
this

trend would
also

benefit communities.
