I HATE living with People

I forgot to mention the ever present intermittent cough. Your cough makes me want to cough. It's bad enough I have to listen to my own.

I remember that I did for a while. I had to get used to my girlfriend's local buddies (many) when I was an outsider. She was a conduit to my other good ones. She said my comments to them was negative when we did the rounds, visiting other houses, as my Mum helped Dad get on with her big family

BUT don't set the switch to off to apply to any place, and every person.

You should have the power of selective choice. Don't eliminate everyone. Grab onto someone, and use them to help by agreeing with a similar dislike of others, or they can encourage you by telling you something positive about the other(s) :idontknow:

Yeah I had this when I was unemployed. I literally became glued to my room and I was ashamed of my situation of always being at home, and dreaded any contact with housemates.

Now that I have a job, I'm a little more relaxed and feel more comfortable around them. I think everyone has this when they're at home a lot and have roommates. Your world becomes really small, and the littlest things can set you off. Easy to form a depression this way.

Are you trying to find a job yet? If you're not at home so much, you'll find that it'll become easier.

..........I won't be able to get out soon enough. I'm really cracking in this madhouse. I have no idea how I'm going to make it.
Anyway......................

I can't stress it enough though, get a job. It helped me! I still live in a place that I dread more or less, but having a job helped me cope with it far better. Being busy distracts your mind, you're out of the house most of the day, you'll get some self-worth, and when you return you'll be far too tired to be depressed or annoyed with housemates. In fact, your relationship with them will likely vastly improve, since you're working on bettering yourself instead of being stuck in a negative cycle (lazy, worthless days of internetting and depression).

Plus you won't be able to get out of there unless you have income probably.

Please consider this. Don't wait for things to get so bad that you'll have no choice, do it now. I wish you all the best.

Try living with a mother who has OCD (obsessed with cleanliness and tidiness), depression and has a mood that changes like the wind. She can be fine one minute but then you only have to say the wrong thing and she'll explode. It's very wearing.

Profane laced psychotic rages that can go on for hours. I grew up living in an explosive household. Grew up living in fear.

I grew up watching my mum getting beaten up by her boyfriend for 17 years so i know about fear.

I like living with my parents but I don't like living with other people. Living on campus was a disaster. I remember I would come back late so that I wouldn't have to see any of my dormmates. Sometimes I also avoid using my floor's restroom and went to another one on another floor so that I wouldn't see some people.

I know this already. I had a job before with them and it was JUST AS IRRITATING. Now we have new family dynamics, and it's even worse.

*But agreed, get a job and get out. I'm trying. Thanks, good advice.
