There’s nothing worse than feeling left out and not having any clue why people have shunned you.
And it’s even more hurtful when the people shutting you out happen to be your roommates.
Yeah, let that sink in, folks…
The man who wrote the story below is having a hard time dealing with his roommates who are treating him badly…and he has no idea why.
Take a look at what he had to say about this.
Passive aggressive behavior towards me since I moved in.
“Not something serious, I just have no idea what I have done.
I clean up everything I use.
I don’t keep anything dirty. I don’t touch anything they own.
Sounds like he’s on the level…
I always keep to myself in my room.
Cook once a week and immediately clean the kitchen and take out the trash if needed.
All three of them just act very weird towards me.
And they’re not being subtle about it!
Whenever I start a conversation just by saying good morning they roll their eyes at me or just say morning and leave the room.
I’m not asking them to be friends but the air is so heavy all the time.
I feel awkward and weird which makes me stay in my room now when they are home.
They talk to each other, though.”
