People Are Sharing Their Worst Roommate Experiences

Try To Have Empathy

This probably isn’t what you want to hear, but it could help the situation to see it from their side. Chances are, she or he has something in their past that makes them feel like they need to act this way in order to prevent being hurt by others. Instead of trying to change them—which is both unlikely and not really worth your time, since roommates are temporary—try to understand that their behavior might’ve been born out of necessity, rather than malice.
