<p>I live in a dorm where it has a main small foyer room, which connects to the toilet on the right room, and a shower on the left room, and his room on the left and mine on the right. We don't share rooms.</p>
<p>I can't stand him personally. I'm definitely not a people person, and he is one of the worst people I'd ever want to ever hang out with. He is extremely awkward and makes me feel uncomfortable alot, like leaving the door open so I HAVE to look at him or obviously ignore him (which I don't like ignoring too many people) and he just sits with his laptop in his bed with his hand under the bed.</p>
<p>The main problem is that he's very loud. I wish to pretend that he doesn't have to be associated and live with me, so I close my door when I'm home but he always brings over this really loud and annoying girl and I always hear them talk in his dorm. I've confronted him about his loudness and he says he'll quit, which he has alot but I still hear him and I can't stand it. I'm getting to my boiling point and I'm pretty annoyed because its my dorm too and I don't want to hear him!! Especially when I'm doing work or have friends/girls over because he is so WEIRD & annoying!</p>
<p>What can I do to drown him out and pretend that he doesn't live here?! So I can enjoy my life again?</p>
<p>Do I just drown him out with music? You can hear almost every little thing in his room like hearing his annoying voice and his ugly annoying girlfriend and it's SO *****ing annoying.</p>
<p>It’s funny how you are complaining about these things when you don’t even actually share the same room. Yeah, it can be annoying when he’s loud but the fact that he’s “weird” and “just sits with his laptop in his bed” are not even close to valid excuses to think that your roommate is annoying.</p>
<p>I think the key part of laptop on the bed was the “hand under the bed” bit… But regardless, you’re not even in the same room as him. In shared rooms you deal with roommates doing a lot more while you’re in the room. And most people just get over it and realized this is a shared space now and they can’t have everything exactly as they want. </p>
<p>You need to realize that you’re considered an adult now by a lot of people and should probably start acting like one. Capisce?</p>
<p>At most Universities there are Resident Assistants that are able to help mediate with roommate situations. This is my third year as an RA and I have had many issues, some like this one, with which I have had to deal with. </p>
<p>Something you need to ask yourself is this; are you annoyed at him because of his actions, or, are you annoyed at him because you are not a people person? The answer to this question will likely help you with the solution. </p>
<p>If you are truly annoyed by his actions and by him, and you have already tried to talk to him, then it is time to get your RA involved. By now you should have already established a relationship with your RA. Go to him/her and talk to him/her about the problems you are having. Likely they will suggest that you sit down with one another and have a one on one. Let the RA know that you have done this, multiple times. (Something else to consider is your roommate doesn’t realize how loud he is. A trick I do is have my residents turn their music up to the volume they talk at. I then escort them down the hall so they can see and actually hear how loud their voice carries.) Your RA will have some mediation techniques to help you out.</p>
<p>If the answer to the above question, however, is you are just not a people person. Then you are going to have to push through it. Talk to your RA about possible single room opportunities. If their are none then try and push through the problem. Buy some silencing headphones and put them in. Do your best to be friendly and don’t make his life a living hell. </p>
