My biggest roommate pet peeve is when someone isn’t really interested in being friends and they just choose to not express it until they’re at the point of blowing up. Like Ik it sucks to be direct but you could’ve saved us both some time 💀

I agree. Mine expected us to be besties but I told her before moving in I didn’t want a roommate in the first place but needed an affordable home for a year (nicely ofc I’m not a dick). I’m a full time student and have a job, I’m rarely home. Wasn’t anything against her, I just don’t have the time. She’s still upset about it I think she wanted a bestie but I seriously don’t have the capacity when I get home I need to eat and sleep.

Ummm you don’t have to be friends with your roommate. I just do my own thing and still respect her space as much as it’s mine too. Sometimes you realize not every roomate wants a friend and that’s ok. Just respect each others rules and boundaries and I’ll be cool.

Also there’s a huge maturity gap between us I can’t get past. Feels like I’m expected to do all the home maintenance and cleaning because I’m simply older or more experienced
