Know your type
Mostly A: The title of ‘Roomie from hell’ truly belongs to you. You want your roommate to be on his/her best behaviour, but you don’t find the need to do the same. Don’t be surprised if your roommate keeps avoiding you. You need to realise that your roomie too pays the rent and has as much a right over everything from the TV remote to her share of space.
Mostly B: You know how to be a good roommate. The person who shares your home will be happy to do so as you aren’t the sort who will be too aggressive. However, ensure that you don’t end up giving too much and expect very little from your flatmate. It’s important that your roommate also does as much household chores as you do.
Mostly C: You are a passive aggressive roomie. You will probably guilt trip your flatmate into doing household chores that you should be doing. If you want to maintain a distance then make sure that you don’t seek favours from your roommate.
