My roommate is extremely bad at being a roommate. She’s inconsiderate and sometimes she's just straight up fucking rude.
Like it literally seems like she thinks I don’t live here and every time I come
into her eyesight, I’m intruding in HER home. Like no one matters but her.
Like, I came
into this roommate thing trying to be as considerate as possible. My nature
lends me to that. Because I’m quite introverted and shy so I don’t really like
being around people. but it almost seems like Gloria knows that and takes
advantage of it. Her boyfriend has basically lived here all year and I feel
like I can’t tell him to go away, even though his even being around makes me
uncomfortable. And let me tell you, it seriously fucking suck to be
uncomfortable in your own home. Like isn’t this supposed to be my sanctuary? Shouldn’t
I at least be able to feel like I can leave my room? And it’s not like I’ve
never brought this up to Gloria. I have. Several times. But all she says is
that he’s not actually here that often. Except he is. He’s always fucking here
except when they’re at school. She says he leaves late at night and comes back
early morning. Like that’s supposed to be better.
And she is in the living
room all the time. So this weekend, while my sister and I have been here, she
has been retreating into her room, which is great. Because for the first time
all year, I’ve been able to spend some time in my own fucking living room on MY
fucking furniture. And every fucking night she came out and told us to turn
down the TV. Even though she is always up late watching TV loudly and talking
loudly. Granted, I never ask her to quiet down, but that’s because I can deal
with it. And when she takes my dirty dishes out of the dishwasher and runs it
and then doesn’t put them back in after she does the dishes, I don’t say
anything. Because that sounds like a small thing to nitpick. And on weekends
when she gets up early and decides that she doesn’t have to be considerate of
whether or not I’m still sleeping.
I know I’m not the best roommate. I do
things that people don’t always understand. But I always try my best to be
considerate about the people around me. and I’m allowing myself to be enraged
about how I’m letting Gloria treat me. Because it’s certainly not her fault
alone, and I understand that. But I just wish she would give me the same
consideration I give her. Because, whether we like it or not, we have to live
together for another month. And for the first time in my life, I’m not sure if
I can handle it. I’ve always said I can live with anybody, cause I just don’t
really give a fuck about anything. But I’ve never lived with anyone who so
blatantly didn’t give a fuck about the people around them. I find it’s nearly
impossible.
Soon you'll be upgrading to Jordan and I as your roommates, just hold out a little longer!
