    It’s a funny one to explain I’m excited about moving as I’ll have more freedom and independence and I think it will really boost my confidence but I am really nervous about living on my own and I’m scared I’ll hate it but I feel I just have to go for it, does thAt make sense?
    I have done research in to the town I’m moving too which has helped, I’ve visited a few times, walked around the local area and familiarised myself with the amenities, I think that’s really important and I suggest you may be try that too before you make a proper decision.
    I don’t know what I really want at the moment but I don’t think I’ll find it staying home, it’s just like you said it’s not living really just sitting in my bedroom then going to work etc and again I get on great with my parents but it’s not enough!
    Also I know full well I’m gonna miss my family like crazy but they’re on the other end of the phone 🙂 and yours will be too, it’s gonna be hard at first but the main thing that will help is getting out there and meeting people, I’m planning to do some volunteer work on the side at first to meet people so I don’t feel so alone, I met my best friend through volunteer work a few years ago so hopefully that can happen again

    Hi 🙂
    I am in exactly the same position as you at the moment in the sense that I am 24, still living at home with my parents and am doing a job that is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I am, however, moving out in December to rent a place for 6 months and yes I am terrified but I think that if i didnt take this opportunity I would regret it and always wonder what if! My advice to you is take some time to think over moving away but ultimatey I feel taking the risk is better than potentially missing out. It is scary I totally understand that but even if you don’t enjoy it the fact that you have taken the plunge would be a huge step forward and will give you more confidence in yourself. A 6 month lease is a good start as it isn’t really that long and i’m sure your family will always be there for you and they will be proud that you tried! We can never know for sure that things will work out ok but we can try our hardest to make them. We get one chance at life and you’ve should grab every opportunity with both hands. I hope what i’ve said has helped a little bit. Good luck 🙂
