Suites,
Do you ever feel like you can't be yourself around certain people not because your feelings will get hurt when they ridicule you, but because you're likely to start an argument with them and make for a very awkward situation?
I was at my friend's engagement party tonight and my housemate Gerard was taking the piss out of me for singing along to the Katy Perry songs they were playing, using his stock phrases such as "Son I am disappoint" etc. I had to keep it on the DL because I know that if I acted like I normally would, he'd probably disown me. I think he's a bit of a d**k, so I'm not afraid of being disowned, but of the awkwardness that would be caused by it, especially since we live together.
This might not make much sense, I'm really really angry right now and my thoughts are all just a blur. I hate having to not be myself so that I don't start arguments with him and others when they ridicule me for acting how I want.
I don't know what I'm thinking, like I said, it's a blur, sorry if this is just a random string of sentences.
Qui are sad. sad

Aquila15 Comfledore The short answer to your question: no, I never feel like that. What's the point in having friends if you cannot be yourself around them? neutral I live with him and a few others and will do for the next 8 months so I need to keep things nice if I'm to avoid an awkward situation. It's not just him, I feel like I have to pretend a little with my other housemates too. Aoibheann is the only one I feel comfortable around and she's always just in her room sad
How do you even pronounce Aoibheann? I tried that, and it came out as "Aoi bean," and I know that can't be right. XD; Maybe she's in her room all the time cause you both got sucky room-mates. o:
Sucks to have sucky room-mates. *Crinkles nose* Yay for Qui liking Katy Perry, though!
You need to work on expanding that bubble of awesome, man.

I was like that with my friends back home, and with my family, always afraid of being judged for who I am, but always afraid of being found out, when I was faking. Once I got to college, though, I stopped giving a ********, and it was the best decision I've ever made. I never, ever feel like I can't be myself, anymore, and I surround myself with people who love the real me. Feeling comfortable in your own skin is the best thing you can do for yourself.
It's easier said than done, but listen to Katy Perry around your friends, do the things you like to do. Tell them to chill if they jump down your throat. If they have a problem with what you like, what should it matter, so long as you don't?

I'd definitely be honest about the whole thing. It might start a fight, but honestly, if you don't, you'll be stuck in a messy house, not wanting to say anything in fear of a confrontation, and slightly miserable. The key to having roommates is always communication. If something bothers you, you bring it up in a way that they know you mean it but you aren't being mean about it. Just a, "Hey. I've noticed dishes get piled up and never cleaned. It kind of makes the whole place look dirty. Do you think you can all start washing them more?" If you want it less "confrontational", you could always just say "we" to make it seem more like you are sharing it the blame even if you aren't at all.
I don't know. One of my roommates gets annoyed with a lot of stuff but complains about it to either me or my other one (depending on who is annoying her) or none of us. She never actually says if something is bothering her or asks us to do something or stop doing something if she is annoyed. Like instead of asking if my roommate would turn off the music, she sighs, gets up, goes into her room, and then, of course, turns up her music so we can hear it in the living room. Of course, it doesn't help that she's passive aggressive. xD
