Going down several rabbit holes
#1
Looking for places to live in the greater Seattle area and I find the Federation of Egalitarian Communities. And other interesting Co-Op residences of intentional communities and hippie houses! LOL
That is what I get for doing a "Non-traditional living spaces" search.

Would you ever consider living in an intentional community. (If you were not in your current living situation now with your family/spouse kids etc etc)

I don't think I'm giving enough to live like that. It pains me to say that. I think I might be much too selfish, in more ways than one, and I'm not so sure I want people depending on me for anything more than work related responsibilities.

After reading a little about it, I thought it sounded like a commitment. A commitment is a tremendous responsibility and I feel like it covers a wide range. I feel very anxious simply considering that. A commitment. Oh God.

I hear you! I was also looking for roommate situations and read one that sounded like they really wanted a friend to watch movies and eat pizza's with. It sounds nice at first, but miss one pizza or movie night and then there could be a problem. Or what if I just want to veg out and watch movies in my own room and eat ice cream all night long by myself?

I feel selfish about sharing also. Even when I think about what I might gain in return.

Thanks for your understanding! I wasn't sure if you'd get me, people don't always do.

Have you considered sharing a home with a few others? That type of scenario may take some of the pressure off you, you may not feel obligated to spend time one on one. You'd have your own room but share the kitchen/living room with others.
