How to get along with a roomate whose character is a little selfish?

well,I have to admit that it is very hard to ge along with a roomate whose character is a little selfish. Even worse, I have met a selfish person in the university. I don't talk with him, this relation last four years.

You shouldn't have to put up with someone like that and you shouldn't have to feel the need to move either. Just ignore her, because really, why bother trying to be friends with someone who is so selfish and only cares about how they feel instead of how anyone else feels? I think sometimes you just know who you can and can't be friends with, and if you know you can't be friends with someone, that should be an indicator that tells you no matter how hard you try, it'll never amount to anything. Some people are just spoiled and selfish and they don't even make any effort to change who they are. And even if someone confronts them, they just switch it around to make it seem as if you're the one with the problem. Just ignore her and try to live under the same roof, because if you're paying rent and paying your half of the bills, then that's what matters.

hi norah it sure is not easy when a roommate is being selfish like that. We have a tablemate here who is really irritating as she will not speak to us, but she will take anything you do not want to eat.I am coming to the conclusion she is missing a few neurons in her brains. she talks to herself, even laughs at times. but she will not engage in any conversation. I am just glad she is not my roommate.If I were you and I liked where I was I would just ignore her and let her move out if she wants.do not let her bug you. Can you have a heart to heart with her and iron out the difficulties? Is there anyone like a house mother or manager whom you could talk to and change rooms or something? good luck and God Bless.

Hi Norah, I met and lived with board mates having different and unacceptable attitudes but i never gave up in being their role model as it relates to adjusting to each other's character. I exerted a lot of efforts to maintain a good interpersonal relationship in the boarding house. i never expect them to be good to me but i gave my best to be friend them. I talked to them and organized activities that will give each and everyone an opportunity to share and be understood. now with your roommate-- try to talk to her again and ask her about her expectation and lay yours too in order for your being together to work. If this will not work, better look for another place and never give her the chance to stress you out. you don't deserve to treated that you. Be kind to yourself!
