friends help: I don’t really get along with my roommate… - Help.com

I don’t really get along with my roommate…

I’m not very social, but she definitely is. She’s always having people over for dinner (I feel unwelcome in my own kitchen), over to drink, over to do homework. I’m kind of uncomfortable all the time, and I feel so awkward around her friends. But the thought of even mentioning this to her makes me more nervous. I know it’s her place too, but I just wish the social visits would minimize.

Yeah, but not all the time! It’s been like this every single day, I just want some quiet. Like I said, I feel like I’m crashing some super secret party every time I walk into the shared area…

Or you can try to get along with it and have some fun, or just tell her that it bothers you, or if she could do it somewhere else…

force yourself to speak, get a group of friends your comfortably around etc

Im actually pretty similar. i used to be very antisocial to people i don’t know but i recently started highschool so i guess it all changed. i actually speak to people now :)

but your best bet would be make a good friend somewhere on your campus so you can feel good about yourself and make sure youll see them often, and just focus on your grades not being social with your roomate and her buddys

good luck. force yourself to speak and one last thing read it carefully:http://www.ehow.com/how_2142468_easily-make-friends.html

and if that doesn’t work for you heres another:http://www.succeedsocially.com/sociallife

i hope these help
