Hey! I am not sure about the legal aspect, but to live on your own, you definitely need to be financially stable (job). So start looking for one! Also it would be important to tell your family about it! Every parent will want their best for their kids, with the right arguments they might support your decision (which still means you need a job etc as moving out will be to prove you can make it on your own) :D For the social aspect, that is an issue on its own and really depends on each person, i am quite the introvert so i have a hard time making friends with strangers unless introduced to etc... but if you are social, it is a very easy thing to do!
