After my housemate left for work today my head was sore and I felt drained, angry and upset. I can't go on like this but I don't know how to make it stop. I need to put myself first but I also share a space with this girl so will inevitably be spending time with her. What should I do?? Any advice would be great.
Have you ever verbalized your need for quiet or an end to conversation? First thing to do would be to find a way to request politely that you're not always open to conversation. AT the point when they ignore your requests is when you can justifiably walk away.
Thanks for this!
