Is it only child behavior to feel a little uncomfortable with my roommate using my $200 blender because bro made me feel like shit for trying to set a boundary. Getting a little too comfortable using my shit all the time

It’s a $200 blender, I’m not surprised you want to be selective of who uses it. Absolutely make that boundary it’s not only child behavior to want your stuff to be your stuff.

It’s hard cuz we’re friends who just happened to move in together but I keep getting guilt tripped for not wanting to share EVERYTHING so idk if I’m being mean or not I’m not trying to be mean

not everybody wants to share everything and if it’s something super expensive I don’t blame you honestly. You shouldn’t be guilt tripped for that

Honestly this might need to be a conversation with them about why they feel entitled to your stuff, especially if they gatekeep their stuff from you.

Perfectly normal to be upset! It’s your blender so if you don’t want them to use it, that’s a boundary you can set. If you’d rather try to compromise, you could offer to share/collaborate on the drinks you make in the blender so that it’s not used without your supervision but your roommate can still blend things without needing two blenders

No they clean it but they’re also kind of mean to me and take advantage of me and I want to gatekeep my items but I don’t want to come across as mean but I also constantly am guilt tripped so it’s hard

gate keep your items, they are YOUR items that you paid for you can tell them to buy their own. you're also not mean for setting a boundary. if they view it as mean then that's on them
