I was doing my work at night (11pm) and I had only my desk light on low and turned to face down so the light wasn’t illuminating the whole room. My roommate started huffing so I figured I should turn it off. Then I also turned down my computer (pt.1)

Brightness and just worked like that. I didn’t have my volume up and I wasn’t type loud at all. Then she started huffing and puffing more and then grabbed her keys and left. At the beginning of the year I said that when I need to work on my hw a little later than normal I’ll have my lamp on low but also it’ll be facing down so it’s not shining light on her side of the room. She said that would be okay. I also asked her if she felt she we needed to sign a roommate agreement to give (pt.2)

She said that there was no need and that we basically already agreed on everything. But now I feel like I’m doing something wrong because no matter how much I try to talk to her or even keep to myself everything I do seems to make her upset. (Last part)

It doesn’t matter why it’s a problem. It’s a problem. Maybe they made a mistake. Don’t be a shit bag about it. Sleep is rlyyyyy important. They can’t sleep somewhere else but u can do work someplace else. Be considerate and not defensive. U can either do the good thing or the thing that’s gonna boost ur weak ego. Just work some place else bro it ain’t that deep 😭😭they gotta sleep

I would try to talk to her to see if she still feels okay with it, but if you’re really working late into the night (midnight and later) it would be the respectful thing to work someone else if possible like a lounge or smth or put up a blanket partition over your desk to drown out the light. Unfortunately this is just part of living with someone else

Ur the asshole bro don’t do that shit in the room. It’s not even a good strategy regardless of the context. You should be ideally going anywhere fucking else for both you and your roommates sake. U spent half the story hyper specifying certain details like it’s any less shitty. Don’t be so rigid type shit, be considerate. You have to live together so they’re not trying to be a massive asshole but it’s obviously fucking their shit up

You know that well enough to type this all out too. U might just want to hear that you’re right

I “hyper explained” that she said it’s okay if I do work in the room at night and that we already agreed on everything (including study habits) so I’m wondering why now it’s a problem for me to be doing exactly what I said I would and what I could be doing wrong considering she said it was okay from the beginning

Also not to mention when I knew I’d be pulling an all nighter (until 2am) a week ago. I stayed in the lounge. When I finished I literally put my bag down and got in bed and she also started huffing and puffing and left the room at 2am. So leave or stay she doesn’t like it. So yes I typed it out to get a second opinion
