My first semester in college I got into the room late and got stuck with a stuck up ***** who stunk up the room and blamed it on me, left her crap all over the room, and yelled at me for no reason. She also stole one of my books, and even stalked me a couple of times. As you can imagine I did not want to talk to her, so I never did. And then she had the nerve to ask me why when she acts like that. Now I am a junior in college and I have a gay sophmore roomate...she seems to act okay, but we really have nothing in common and I don't know what to say to her with her being gay, so I don't even talk to her. And it does feel wierd being in the room and not talking to her. But I try not to let it bother me. But like is it normal/okay not to talk to your roomate? Like has anyone else ever been in this situation? I just don't want to feel like I should be talking to her because she doesn't talk to me either.

You all may have quite alot in common. If you have never talked to her you then how would you know if you all have anything in common. If you feel that its weird that's because its gotta seem awkward living with someone and not communicating(which may happen more often than not but usually when they have issues). Maybe your roommate may think your being biased towards her because she is gay. If you feel you can't verbally talk to her then try writting a note and leaving it on her bed or desk and go from there. Life is too short. We never know what someone could be going through personally. They could be going through a family crisis ie death,parents divorce,relationship issues. Hope you all find some resolve soon.

well, you could try to make polite conversation with her and ask what her interests are and dreams in life. just because she's gay doesn't mean she's weird. I'm a lesbain but I still am normal, and like to go jogging and watch movies, and keep up with current events.
rent a movie and have salsa and chips one night. who knows, she might turn out to be a good freind. also, make some friends on the outside so you won't be so isolated.

Whatever... it's college. It's not a job or something where talking is demanded. If you guys don't want to talk to each other, don't.
I don't have a roommate because I would probably kill them if I did have one, literally. So I can just say that you shouldn't talk to strangers.

do you both not speak english, or does your roommate speak gay or something? she's a normal human being just like you. she's not interested in every single girl that she meets, just like you aren't interested in every single guy that you meet. you should try to talk to her or socialize, it seems as though you might be giving off bad vibes...

I think that onw bad experience has scared your college experience. Try to find something to talk her about like book costs or professors or something
