College Roomates
Coming to college I had already talked to my roomate and thought it was going to workout a lot better than it has. After getting here and living together though I realized she acts different and feels differently about things then she led me to believe. Don't get me wrong I like my roomate but things are just slowly starting to irk me. Her things are slowly piling up around the room and are beginning to migrate into my space, she has been using some of my things without knowing if it was alright to, and she has been disposing of things in the trashcan I got for our room that really shouldn't be disposed of in our room. Its not awful and I know it could be much worse like some people fight with their roommates and I don't have that problem. However it is still very irritating and sometimes its really hard not to get upset and say something to her. I'm sure I'll survive the rest of the year andthen next year I'll be able to room with one of my friends that I've met here so it should be a lot better.

So earlier you mentioned something about avoiding conflicts. Do you do this with your roommate as well? Do you ever confront her when she is doing something that bothers you or do you try to hide it so you don't offend her? I think there's a way to be respectful about needing to confront somebody over a wrong.
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember you saying this. I guess this is how I can think to explain it. There is a difference between going way out of my way to avoid confronting or offending someone and me just letting things that aren't that important or that huge of a deal go. Its just less of a burden to let small things go than to sulk on them and let them bother me. I try to let things go and just relax and not let things get to me and I feel like life is more enjoyable when you learn to do this.
