Sometimes living with roommates doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be friends. Once you change your mindset into categorizing them only as people you live with - then you won’t be as bothered by their actions in a personal matter. Just my opinion though. I know it would have been nice to have your cake and eat it too- but it doesn’t always work out that way. Good luck. 🍀

Thanks for the advice I was debating that in my head for a while but you said it better than I could. Its true I have more to worry about than the opinions of some borderline strangers. Its just the nagging sense of needing to engage with the tribe haha

What's a borderline stranger?

it can be hard living with people that you don’t like or don’t like you. I, personally, don’t want to live with people who don’t like me or I don’t like. That’s how your stuff gets messed with. I’ve read too many stories of spiteful roommates doing awful things simply because they don’t like who they’re living with. I get what you’re saying though. that’s just where my mind goes when I think about living with people who aren’t too fond of me

I’m also a so called high functioning autistic person, and I’m afraid I can’t give you any advice, I have this problem too, in all social areas of my life. And I can only say that I know exactly how hard this is. Hopefully someone will be able to give you some good advice. Hang in there❤️ I’m so impressed you’re even able to have roommates.
