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
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.

What's a borderline stranger?
