Why is so difficult to live with other people in the same house?

Question

What is the key to human relationship?

Answer 1

We are by our very nature "social animals" but we are contradictory "territorial" no you is completely on your side no-one can be 100% like youall the time and you have to learn that no-matter how much you think someone is "there for you" you can truly only depend upon yourself,

Answer 2

I've lived with many a different people in my life time and it simply comes down to the basic facts that everyone has their own life style,eating habits some drink and get violent towards people they live with while others smoke and within all these different area's there is always something that another person is not going to like what you are doing or what someone else is doing and it automatically causes havoc for everybody then all hell breaks loose and in the end everybody ends up either on the street or they get a place of their own if they can afford it.But in my eye's from what i've been put through with knives being pulled on me my finger being ripped off from a door being slammed on it,so all in all it's best to live on your own or have a friend you know you can call a friend.

Answer 3

I've been living with people other than my family for the past 3 years and I am not an expert but my experience taught me that the key is not to complain too much and not to make reproaches(even though they might be in the wrong). Also, starting to understand their point of view and getting to love them (or at least like them) for who they are helps a lot. Getting them to do fun stuff with you can also help you improve your relationship. You can spend some time with them outside your apartment/house--like go roller-skating in the park or go clubbing together. You might discover parts of them that would otherwise stay hidden. You could also make a schedule for cleaning, washing and so on if they are schedule-oriented people. If not, you could try to figure out their patterns so that you would make your own schedule.
hope this helps you:)

Answer 4

Because people are complex (1000 reasons for the 1000's of things we do), people are willful, and people are different, sometimes even within themselves, given the day or circumstance. Put all this into one house, (or any close
quarters) and of course there will be trouble from time to time.

The key is to try and understand where the other person is coming from (that does include your own motivations and wants), develop effective communication skills between all parties to express their needs/wants, and mutual respect for the fact that sometimes, you will just have to agree to disagree and find that happy medium.

Answer 5

we did that once with our married daughter and family. Not a good idea if it can be avoided. Everyone has their own way to do things. And they have their own routine that may interfere with yours. Even if they do not like the same T.V. shows or music it can become annoying. Especially 2 women, [or cooks] in the same kitchen. This only works for special occasions once or twice a year. In other words it just does not work because you are either putting up with the other persons differences or visa versa.

Answer 6

Everyone has different personalities, friends, family (especially).

Women are prime sitituation (girlfiends, cousins, nieces, sisters). We look to save on expenes by living with each other; however, we have different outlooks for appearances in the house. Let me say furniture arrangements, cooking, house decorations, picking up belongings when they are yours, cleaning. You see we only started saving on expenses by living together but we didn't see that other side of the individual (charactertics...attitude).

We are better off being to yourselves.

IMaybe people with different ethnics background can live together because you are learning things from them instead being against them, or people with the opposite sex.

Answer 7

Because most people, myself included, don't want to invest the time and effort to really get to know others.

The key to human relationship is spending time with others and actually giving a crap.

Answer 8

Just think,
Everyone in the household grew up with different baby/ childhood/puberty-teenage, young Adulthood experiences.

You are all so diverse and so complex at the same time yet so uniquely made!

Sometimes it's hard to see another persons opinion on something.
They might seem as selfish as, but deep down, that person has probably been through alot of internal pain, that made them that way.

So next time just say a little prayer for them like 'God please help x to get over their selfishness and help me to understand them"

And of course, we all have our little idiosyncrasies! :-)

Answer 9

i think the a major key to any kind of relationship is respect and love. Respecting their space and their needs and desires and loving them enough to not smother them in constantly wanting to be around them. People need time and space to themselves, and just because they get "tired" of you doesn't mean they love you less or anything they just need "Me" time. I just had to learn this!!!!!

Answer 10

way of thinking differs, difference in opinion, lack in understanding each others feelings, competition among them makes difficult to to live together in same house.

Be open minded, respect others feelings, understand their views, help solving in each others problems, take collective decision, guide, motivate to one another are the keys to develop good relationship.
