I admit that communal living makes me happiest. I at least like to have a roomate, if not several. It takes so much pressure off to have multiple incomes and skill sets...though in every situation I have lived like this it was me offering the stability.

Keep in mind I'm not trying to scare or stress you.

Would getting another job be easy? I have at least a dozen friends right now without a job collecting unemployment and they really want jobs.

Everyone has their strengths. When you partner with others as roommates, housemates, etc someone can cook, another cleans, another gardens, etc. I think its important to find these strengths when pulling your team together. Most of it is shared, however as you pointed out, you're not an outdoor person but this doesnt mean you can't help. right? Or maybe you can learn, share, do other things?

What is your biggest concern living with others and why have you not moved in this direction already?

No pressure. I'm here to help you sort it out loud.
