I'm such a screw-up. =(

[this_portrait]

So I'm a second-year uni student, and I was just informed that my roommate is moving out tomorrow.

The reason?

Well, let's just say that she feels as if there's a negative energy in the room, and that she thinks it would be better for her if she didn't have to be around it. She basically initiates most of our conversations that we do have, and feels that her doing all the initiating is draining her and kind of stressing her out.

I might as well have been told that my lack of social skills is the reason.

This is the first time someone hasn't been able to put up with my SA, and I'm kinda bummed out about it. I had no idea what to say when she told me this. I guess I'm so much of a social f*ck-up that I now drive roommates away. =(

 

[FOR REAL]

this "negative energy in the room" will soon disappear after she ****s off

 

[Hellhound]

I think she was a bit rude by running away like that... =/

Don't worry!!! I drove away a room mate too. Some people are just TOO SENSITIVE. she moved out, not you. it was her problem, not yours.

If she can't stand being around you then you're better off without her. But it still stings to be rejected like that over something you can't change.

But it can't rain all the time.

does this mean you get the room to yourself now? (score!)

For the time being, yeah, but eventually I'm going to have to meet with someone from the campus residence department about the possibility of a new roommate.

I just got kicked out by my flatmates for exactly that reason.
At least they were honest about it.

 

[klytus]

What - Since when do mature people reject others because they lack social skills? That's inane.

I'm heading home today, and I couldn't be any happier to be going home.

However, I won't be leaving until 1:30. =( I have my last class at 12:35, and it gets over at 1:25. My second class got cancelled for today and Monday, so right now I'm stuck just waiting impatiently.

I don't even want to be around my roommate right now, because it seems as if ever since last night, my anxiety just increases whenever I'm around her. I just want to get the hell out of here right now.

I'm sorry....

This portrait, i dont think her leaving because you are shy and dont initiate conversation makes you a screw up at all. Sure it might feel bad because yet another negative thing has happend because of your social anxiety but i just think her personality seems a lot different from yours and things seem like they may be better for the both of you now that she is leaving. Personally when i am around people that always initiate conversation i feel quite uncomfortable because i am horrible with small talk.

I found it difficult enough sharing a flat with other people so I couldn't even begin to imagine the horror of sharing a room with somebody. You should be proud that it was her that left and not yourself. You are clearly a stronger person than I.

 

[Scrabbl]

damn that sucks. At least you'll get your own room now. It's very unlikely that they're gonna find another roomie for you in the middle of the term

I had a bad experience freshman year as well with my roomate. He basicaly ended up hating me, thinking I was copying his "style" and personality, and stopped speaking to me for several months until the year ended. I did see him and his girlfriend again later on. Formerly people who hated me, they both had forgotten all about it and were quite pleasant.

I still feel kind of down about the whole situation, but now those sad feelings just seem to be turning to feelings of bitterness towards my EX-roommate.

Good riddance. =)

That's the spirit! Are you enjoying having the place to yourself?

I'm not there right now, because I went home for the weekend, but I probably will. I'm kind of suspicious, though, because before I left for home, I came in the room to get my bag, and I found my big suitcase on my bed. It was originally in my closet. Hopefully she didn't steal anything of mine before she moved out.
