Misanthropic episodes with roommates

I feel like I sometimes have what I would call misanthropic episodes.

For example, in my shared housing, outside of my door, I hear my male roommates (kind of boorish, loud guys) talking, laughing etc. and I have all these angry thoughts and am generally annoyed at how loud and inconsiderate they are. When I have these moments it's best for me not to venture into the common areas because I turn very quiet and generally moody. Awkward silences galore.

I feel like I really need to move on my own, because I keep having to fight my thoughts. I think I need a lot of "alone-time" to recharge and living with roommates is very stressful to me. It's not like I never engage in talk or activity with them, but whenever I do it just sucks up a lot of energy.

I think I wouldn't mind as much if I lived with people who are more like myself but alas. I wish I wouldn't be so bloody sensitive and just not give a damn about these things. But I can't help it.

Can relate with u somehow. I share myself my flat and it can be very stressful. U should probably try to find a place to live alone. Nothing better for low your anxiety.

Haha the same, but I dont share the flat, but in general... whenever i hear laughter and loud voices... I tend to become mysanthropic.
