I am very punctual myself and so are most of my good friends. People who are habitually late for thing tend to irritate me because it's disrespectful, irresponsible, and really makes the person look bad. I've handled these people in two ways a) by not inviting them places because I don't want to deal with their mess or b) if I otherwise like them, lie about the time and ask them to show up ten minutes early.

Roommate conflicts occur when their lifestyles or personalities are incompatible.  So if your friend is mostly interested in partying and you're a bit more serious about your studies, I'd advise against it.  Other sources of conflict: smoker vs. non-smoker; needs quiet to study/sleep vs. needs noise to study/sleep; neat freak vs. sloppy.  \n\nIf your friend shares the same goals as you do, it should be fine.  And if you are very good friends and know that you really can trust one another, it sure gives you more peace-of-mind over rooming with a stranger.

If you don't feel that you can be honest with them about how you feel, I think you should find other activities to do, getting too busy to support your friendship. Friendships will dry up, if you don't water them regularly with visits, phone calls and notes. If you are too busy to fit her into your schedule, she'll either ask you up front what's up or she'll slowly move on to someone else. If she asks, that's your cue to be honest, even though it might hurt. Without knowing how she "makes" you feel bad, it's hard to know if you're not bringing on some of this treatment yourself, actually encouraging her that it's ok to treat you this way. Some people think it's better to have a "bad" friend than no friend at all. If she is truly a "toxic" friend, move on to more positive people. In time, she'll fade away. I would rather that she knows exactly what's causing you to not want to be around her. Maybe she doesn't have a clue that she's treating you badly. Maybe she does this to everyone. If not, you have to ask yourself why you? Letting her know will give her the option of changing...or not. If you have body odor, and everyone avoids you, not wanting to be around you, wouldn't you want to be told? You might think everyone hates you or maybe doesn't like your clothes or something. No one has the right to treat you badly. You give them that right. You can take it away. <*)))><

If you signed a lease you are bound to it.  It is not the complexes fault that someone said something to you that you do not like.  Make the manager aware of  the threat.  If she/he is a good manager she will address the problem and take care of it for you.  If one of my residents get threatened, I have no problem evicting the bad guys...good luck

I do that,i don't know why but i do! I think you just need to be happy with yourself and being alone.To make sure your not dependant on someone else for happiness,then you'll want to move in because you'll be brining happiness into the relationship!

i don't think so,to some degree i am the same way.it's not being anti-social for me it's just not wanting to have to deal with all the extra stuff that comes along with some people.i've learned that in todays society it's just not the teenagers that's keeping up a bunch of mess. but alot of adults so i just choose not to involve myself at all.

get your own place!\n\nI discovered early on that I don't like sharing space with other people and so I lived on my own through college. Life was much easier - a little more expensive, but worth every penny.

The bigger question is why are you inviting a person who "hates" you to your home so she has access to your room and your dog?  Just keep her out of your life.\n\nSometimes people hate rich people out of jealousy...especially if that rich person loves to make sure everyone knows he/she is rich.  Then it isn't a matter of hating the rich, it is a matter of hating the person who rubs your nose in the fact that they are "richer or better".  Attitude can do a lot toward making a person like or dislike someone.

yes, yes, I have no friends because I don't take that crap from people...it's hard for me to forget in the "forgive and forget" type of thing...so I ditch 'em all. I'm better by myself.

Funny, you had no problem in the past meeting new people, so why would you have a problem now...you have built a silly box to live in. Open the box and get out of it. Only you are keeping you a prisoner, not him. Not very smart.

Laying out expectations and preferences before you move in together, or as soon as you do can help ease a lot of conflict.  \nIf we're talking college roommates, issues such as your sleep schedules, thoughts on overnight guests, level of comfort with alcohol or other substances being consumed in the space, and cleanliness may all come up.  \nBe honest.  Don't be afraid to bring something up if it bothers you, because the longer you let it go the more likely it'll blow up.

I absolutely do not think that these traits make you a bad guy. people who work with unpleasant people it makes it a very hard working environment to be around. I think that just because you are emotional doesnt mean it is a bad trait. however, just remember that even though you are laid back and easy going, there is a place and a time to be serious and to be stearn and to not be so easy going. i know you are probably an awesome person but just remember, dont let people walk all over you (not saying they do) and know when the right time to be serious or not is. k?!? i hope this helped... let me know

Yes. If you KNOW right from wrong and choose to do wrong... What's wrong with you? What kind of person do you respect? Do you respect people like you? Or do you respect people that live a dignified life who do their best to do the right thing?\nIf you feel bad about who you are and how you act then why do you do it?\nGrow up. If you act like trash then you are trash. If you are trash than you will attract others that are trash.\nDo things that make you proud of yourself rather than doing things that make you feel like a bad person. And if your "friends" find your poor actions charming, then you need more respectable friends.\nGo do something good for some one, will you?

Yes.  I like my space and don't need to be talked to all the time.  I like being alone.
