yeah worked out pretty good for me during the first semester but since the second semester almost anything this guy does just annoys me or pisses me off and we’ve known each other and did a lot of things together since middle school

lived with my best friend from hs for one semester (her first time being away from home), and our relationship disintegrated. she moved home for the second semester of the lease, subleased for the second year, gave me the new girls number once it was official, and we never spoke again

Moved in with one of my close friends and the second they got a girlfriend they stopped hanging out with me entirely.💔 We share a room but havent actually slept in the same room since 2025!!! They got a kitten a month before getting into a relationship and they barely take care of her because she’s only ever at her girlfriend’s place. Any time she does sleep at our apartment her girlfriend also sleeps over and they both stay on the couch. Can’t wait to move out :,)

It’s hilarious seeing grown ass adults forget how to find personal space 😂. If you’re getting mad at people you live with… you’re the one who’s mad so fix it. Either find a place to be alone when you need it or communicate with your roommates.

for the love of god if you care bc this friendship set clear boundaries and make sure you are even going to be compatible roommates before you decide to live w them. I wish my roommate was honest abt her living style bc last year she always complained abt her past roommate being dirty when i came over but i have since discovered that she was the dirty one all along. Now i am stuck living w a dirty roommate who never cleans up after herself (having a clean space is very important to me)

It’s hilarious how some people think “just fix it yourself” is a mature take. Living with others means EVERYONE respects boundaries, not just the person who’s frustrated and bending over backwards to accommodate everyone. You clearly don’t understand that the problems people are having aren’t something that is easily “fixed”

Yeah and so what does complaining about it on yikyak mean? Guess what… you’re living with EVERYONE all the TIME!! This is a constant skill that always needs managed. If you live alone, that’s your space. If you live with roommates, maybe that’s your room or the porch or your car. Acting like everyone will just coexist in the same place without frustration of complications is unrealistic. Recognizing you can only do what you act on is in fact the only mature take on this.

Also, assuming everyone WILL respect your boundaries is immature. Boundaries are set to be broken so if you don’t have a solution when it’s broken… you’re being immature and unrealistic. Lock in.

Yk i see where your coming from but i think you also need to consider the fact that everyone needs to be considerate of the shared spaces. I have voiced my opinions/ concerns with my roommate and she continues to act like my opinion doesn’t matter. I am allowed to be frustrated as well as voice my opinions on the situation

And boundaries are definitely NOT ment to be broken lol that’s actually crazy that you think that.

Yeah no shit it should be. But guess what… the world isn’t sunshine and rainbows. There is literally ONE reality where that happens and INFINITE realities where it doesn’t happen. You are required to set a consequence to your boundaries and act on them accordingly otherwise you never really set a boundary. Sure you’re allowed to be frustrated but that doesn’t constitute ranting on yikyak since it literally does nothing. This is the only way you can consistently go about something like this.

Jesus you’re slow… ever heard of figurative language? Do you think when people say “rules are meant to be broken” they mean it literally? Let me explain this for you then… if you set a boundary… there must be a consequence that is predetermined. Otherwise, there is not point of the fucking boundary. Just like there’s no point of a rule if you don’t get in trouble for breaking it. They were MEANT to be broken in the sense that there are predetermined actions to be taken for if it IS broken.

It’s actually crazy that you can’t comprehend basic social interaction my guy… set a fucking boundary not just… “guys it would really hurt my feelings if you don’t respect my space.” Can you imagine what would happen if that’s how our government treated enforcement??? Stop expecting order when you have literally lived an entire life proving to you how all order becomes disordered. You complaining on yikyak sets ZERO order

I’m not arguing about this because I know I’m right man… I’m living proof of it. The people I’ve lived with are living proof of that. You can either take this advice, learn from it, and apply it towards your living space… or you can keep bitching about it anonymously online. Whichever makes you feel better idgaf

Then you’re also ignorant 🤡 sorry that the world doesn’t bend over for you whenever you ask it to. My advice is basically “stop bitching and stand on business pussy.” So the fact you think that’s bad advice makes you look like a pussy
