One of my roommates is moving out soon. Just gonna say as an introvert myself, if you’re too afraid to communicate with your roommates, you should live alone. Communicating is the bare minimum. If you refuse to communicate, you aren’t mature for roommates

So so true. I’m an introvert, and I also can feel when other people have something to say but they won’t just come out and be honest. I’m pretty good at communicating when it’s a necessary conversation, but other than that I keep to myself. You’ll know if I’ve got an issue. But man other people just don’t know how to have a conversation and move on without making it personal

I tried to be communicative with my roommate but she wouldn’t give me the same energy and so I stopped because it just made things more difficult… is this the same thing ???

I don’t know why he was so scared to communicate with me. It was weird. He would complain to his friends about me, but never had the balls to talk to me directly about anything. Literally told him multiple times that I was open to communicate if he ever needed me to do anything differently. Such a weird person

Usually it’s bc when they communicated, maybe you were still doing things that overstepped a boundary that they alr addressed. This is esp true if you guys did a roommate agreement. Some times ppl WILL communicate and ppl will quickly go back to how they acted before. This person should communicate ofc but it should also be considered that some people really don’t consider those around them. They just do whatever they want until someone says this. This is stressful for someone who alr doesn’t

Feel comfortable and felt like they’ve already reached out. Not trying to blame you or say you did any of this but it can be burdensome to have to be the one to keep saying something :/ and honestly feel like both sides have a valid reason.

well last semester at the end they started coming more out of their shell which was nice. and then they got a stomach bug and threw up on their clothes and bedding. and threw their wet throw up clothes into a cart full of groceries and left the bottom full of pule water and when we said something they got mad upset. and on top of that they started sleeping on the couch in the living room WHILE SICK mind you and got upset when i said something.

No. My psycho roommate refuses to communicate with me at all. He never has made any attempts to talk to me. It got to a point where I actually had to tell the person in charge of our dorm because of how bad it got with his communication because I don’t want to be re-matched with this person as a roommate ever again
