TopicWhy is there stigma with living with your parents/family as an adult?

As someone who didn't move out until considerably later (29), there is a stigma associated with it. Logical or not, people will assume that you're not as independent, have not matured as much, and have not dealt with the responsibilities of a person who has lived on their own. As I hit my mid-20s, I felt that stigma more, which is why I grew embarrassed over living with my parents and tried to never bring it up when out with friends. I doubt I'm the only one here who has felt that way.

And yes, it also sucks for dating and hooking up, but not just because of the awkward possibility of your date running into your parents. Your parents could be out on vacation a thousand miles away, and a part of you would still be embarrassed to bring a girl home to your parents' house.
