Moving to Einzelwohnung after living in a big WG for 2 years
Hi everyone,
I’ve been living in a WG with many people (above 10 people in different floors) for about two years.
When I first moved in, it was my first time moving to a new city. I didn’t know anyone, and honestly, I was pretty scared of starting this new chapter of my life. It was also my first full-time job, so there were a lot of new things happening at once.
But after moving in, I ended up having an amazing time with the people around me. We cooked and shared meals together on many evenings, travelled together, went out for drinks and clubs, met each other’s friends, and helped each other with all kinds of little things in everyday life.
When I look through my photo album, I feel genuinely grateful for all these people and the memories we’ve made. There were so many laughs and spontaneous moments that I probably wouldn’t have experienced if I had lived alone.
At the same time, because it’s such a big WG, people are constantly coming and going. Since I moved in, I’ve met almost 10 new people, apart from the core group that I’m particularly close with. And honestly, constantly getting used to new people has become exhausting for many of us. It’s fun in some ways, but over the long term, there’s definitely a kind of social fatigue that comes with it.
Another thing I’ve started noticing is that we do things together almost every day. I love having that social life, but sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough time and space to just be alone, reflect on myself, or focus on my own personal and career development.
Recently, one of my closest flatmates decided to move out, and it made me seriously consider moving out as well. Part of me feels like maybe this is the right time to leave — while I still feel like I’m ending this chapter on a really positive note, rather than waiting until I become completely tired of it.
But now I’m stuck between two options: **moving into another WG or getting my own place.**
I know I can still meet my current and former flatmates outside the WG. But if I live alone, my everyday life will obviously become much simpler and quieter than it is now.
And that honestly scares me a little.
I’m afraid of becoming too isolated or lonely. I’ve lived with people for the past two years, and I’ve gotten so used to always having someone around to cook with, have a drink with, or just randomly talk to in the kitchen. At the same time, I wonder if having more time alone might actually be good for me — to become more independent, figure out what I actually want, and have more space to grow on my own.
So I’m wondering:
**If you were in my position, would you move into another WG or try living alone?**
Especially interested in hearing from people who made the transition from a very social WG to living alone. Did you enjoy the independence, or did you end up feeling lonely?
