Are you really comfortable in your own home?

Question

It's wierd with me. I have a roomate and sometimes I feel like I have to watch what i'm doing or reserve my feelings. Some ppl don't want to be at home because they may feel isolated from ppl. I don't know, tell me how you feel.

Answer 2

Sounds to me that you have an anxiety situation. I 've heard of people feeling like they are being watched whereever they go even at home. If you continue to nurture that feeling, you'll end up on prozac or something. I guarantee you your roommate is not even paying you any attention.

Try this meditation method: When you are home alone, go to a room where you feel comfortable, sit on the floor, cross your legs, close your eyes, breathe in through your nose, hold it 10 secs, and let it out slowly through your mouth. Repeat this technique 5 times and keep your eyes closed. Try this everyday for a while until you feel comfortable to know that you can be comfortable in your home and around others. Oh by the way, this feelings you have are completely normal.

Answer 3

Most of the time, yes. I have my own room and my flat-mates are friendly and helpful... we help each other out when in need, but we never mess into each other's lives. We discuss many things and support each other but we leave each other enough space for breathing. I am happy here.

If your roommate makes you feel uncomfortable, try to find out why you feel like that. Maybe you worry too much about what others may be thinking of you..... Skip those thoughts and be yourself.
Reserve feelings only if you don't want to hurt someone, if those feelings are negative or not for everyone's ears. Otherwise, just be yourself... be yourself..... :)

You, and melanie up there, too... you girls need to strengthen your personalities a bit, I think. It is not right to leave when your flat-mates' friends come and visit... it looks very anti-social, don't know how to say it. I wouldn't leave. Today they were here and drunk and loud and all the rest... but I walked in, smiled, said hi..... 5 minutes later they come and knock my door up - someone had birthday..... I took half an hour, sat in with them, listened to their stories - it wasn't boring at all. I had a good time and felt much better afterwards myself. You girls need to take it easy, be yourselves and relax once in a while. No man is an island.

Answer 4

Yes, I am absolutely comfortable in my home. My son is grown and he and his wife live across the field from me(we live in the country). I live here with my old man and my basset hound. At this moment I am on the computer, my old man is in the garage working on hi Harley and our basset hound is on the floor in the office playing with a plastic coke bottle. We have every thing we need and most of what we want. I like my furniture and the set up of the house. I have many things that belonged to my mom and grandmother and things that friends have given me. I am very happy and comfortable in my house and I think that everyone should be.

Answer 5

I live at an apartment with 4 other girls at college and I don't do the things I normally would at home. I just stay to myself and try to stay busy. When their friends come over I leave, because they get loud. I would tell them to shut up buy I try to be respectful even though they are pigs. When I go home it is a relief because I can be myself and not worry about what people think about me. I know how you feel.

Answer 6

If you need others in order to feel good about yourself, you have a problem.
However for me, I live with my wife and no kids and we love being at home. We can find much to do together.
We enjoy just being in the same room together.
If I did not have her, I would still be comfortable at home.
I get my needs for friendships taken care of in church where most everyone has the same relationship with the Lord as I do.

Answer 7

i live alone in my apt. and i feel isolated. i usually hang out at work after i clock out just because i feel better talking to people rather than going home to nothing.

i used to have a roomate, when she was around i felt weird too. but i think i changed how i felt once we started getting to know eachother. i would invite her to go out with me and my friends. you should get to know your roomate, maybe that is a factor.

Answer 8

Our family is made up of three women. We all are very comfortable around one another. We know when to be together and when to give one another space. It never works perfectly, of course, but we are happy. I hope you will find a happy home too.

Answer 9

they don't sound a twin of this sort of human beings who may have an interest in kinfolk counseling, yet perchance they could conform to do it, in order that that they could have the threat to ***** about you to the therapist. you need to ask them in case you ever get a great opportunity to signify it. enable them ***** about you. The therapist will be independent and could see what they're doing incorrect. you may commence by first chatting with a counselor at your college about this. once you've any sympathetic kin, ask them for thoughts also.

Answer 10

I know exactly what you mean. I'm comfortable in my mom's house, but I feel like I have to watch what I do in my dad's.
