Answer help: Answer honestly, do you really care if someone has a messy room? - Help.com

i think it depends on the room and if you were expecting visitors lol

Depends how close to me this person is.

Yes!

I don’t mind mess if it is being played in, like if my kids spend all day in their rooms and it is a giant tip but no way can it stay that way, they have to tidy it all up once they are done.

But then I can’t stand clutter and mess generally anyway so maybe I am the wrong person to ask lol

If it makes them cluttered and disorganized then I might care if I have to be the person or be with the person. Also I try to act like I care when any one of us could be keeping it clean but it is always me. Just in case that makes them help so it feels more fair.

if its your bedroom and noone elses then who cares if its a mess its your room as long as you know where everything is then why should anyone be bothered if its a mess.my bedroom is a mess to some ppl but its my mess and i have my room the way i like it hope thats helped

im 26 and i have a son my bedroom is always last to clean as im busy tidying everywhere else

With children, “the problem” is again different I would say.

Some mess & muddle is somehow a creative platform for them (much more then for us!) – it is full of incentives for them.

Kids, who must always be properly are bored more and more …

Ahhhh yes even better

I make sure my son cleans his room

but mine I clean once a week and the day after everything is back on the floor lol

are you sure your not me and ive just got split personalities that dont know about each other hahaha

Im not saying Im immaculate, I dont really like messy rooms.
Especially things all over the floor&rotting food, lol! as well as cheesy socks&smelly feet :/

The old saying goes a cluttered room makes for a cluttered mind.

I hate having stuff go all over the floor, so for me it is an obvious sign that I’m not capable enough at dealing with my life to keep stuff organized. That’s just me and there’s no quick fix. (cleaning up the random junk wouldn’t fix my life-organization).

No because I’m guilty of having a messy room myself. Also, I think what one considers to be a messy room another might consider to be a clean room.

I don’t care, unless it’s unsanitary. Like moldy McD’s wrappers on the floor with stale potato chips strewn about and biological weapons in cracked containers near all exits…that kind of stuff bothers me…but if it’s just like clothes, papers, personal items, etc…so what.

Some people think because your room is a mess it ‘means’ something in terms of your personality. I had a boss that used to think I was going to be disorganized, because I had tons of papers on my desk, but in reality, I kept it together pretty well.

Yup. When you have kids, you seem to get more concerned that everywhere that the kids are playing will be cleaned up first. My room is always last to get done.

It is possible for you to build shelves to place over top of your dresser?

The idiot is tidy.
The genius masters chaos.

No really. I like organization.
If people live alone i have less problem with it but if there are several people in the house i think there should be systems in order to prevent that things get messy.
It´s no more effort to keep things in order anyway.

everything is organized
dirty clothes on floor
clean clothes in droord

What I mean by “organized” is the opposite of “messy”. So, the room would be one or the other, messy or organized. Or the room is irrelevant and it is the mindset that makes it organized or messy. Still, organization is important. To me it seems to be one of the most important things, on many levels.

Probably I would pray to the god of organization if anyone introduced me to him/her.

OW my room is well messy, i well need to tidy it :(

Messy/untidy rooms are acceptable, im busy alot, rushing in and out all the time, getting changed or wotever, so my room always gets into a mess easily…

I do think its organised mess tho, i can find things easier wen they are in a heap in my room.

I must tidy my room now as it needs a hoover =[

I dont mind mess as long as it isnt dirty! You can still be clean and messy :)

Doesn’t matter! As long as you know where your stuff and if someone were expected then maybe pick up some clothes and pretended you cared they were coming! But usually nope!

I would not like to spend much time in a messy room, and sort of doesn’t paint a good picture of the person whose room it is. Specially if its stinking.

No, I wouldn’t care; but then again I rarely have a clean room.

ahh i’ve just tidied my room now cant find my charger!!

typical!!

Dani said that her room is full, not empty. If it were empty, she wouldn’t have a mess to clean. lol

room with stuff all over the floor = life with stuff all over the floor

What an interesting and not boring life!
✌

If you are planning on anyone other than yourself seeing it, clean is better. If its just you, shouldn’t make any difference.

no. mines insanely messy

After a while my own room drives me insane if I don’t tidy it and I like a room to be tidy if I have to be in it for any length of time but otherwise no I don’t care. It’s their room!

lol.

I don’t mind a messy room or even a messy house, I mean things piled up here and there, but I don’t like dust, dirt, or garbage around. Those are just too much for me ;)
