<p>Ok, so I moved in a couple of weeks ago in an apartment. I have met my roommates and they seem to be really awesome people. They like to hang out together a lot in the living room with friends and chat all day. What I usually do is chat with them for a few minutes, then go to my room to study and play video games. This was my daily routine, and I thought they were ok with what I do, but recently I got a feeling my roommates doesn't want to talk to me anymore. I got a feeling the main reason they are mad, because I don't hang out with them a lot. My roommates are all extroverts, while I'm an introvert by nature. They usually drink alcohol 4 times a day and party on weekends. They invited me to drink with them or go to parties, but I usually say no to it as I don't like drinking alcohol. I never complained anything about anything they do even if it annoys me, or give them a reason to complain about me, except for a fact I like staying in my room most of the time. I'm not sure what to do and would like to resolve this matter as quickly as I can, so that I won't make matters worse.</p>
<p>You’re making it awkward for them because you are not like one of them.</p>
<p>How do I make it not awkward for them. Go drink a lot with them and chill in the living room all day? Most of my classes requires me to sit in a computer all day like computer science programming, online discussion, and essays. Most of this consumes a lot of time.</p>
<p>Get out of your room and go out with them every once in a while… is it really that hard?</p>
<p>I think it’s totally okay to be an introvert- I am, and I like to be by myself a lot. But sometimes people think you don’t like them or are avoiding them if there are opportunities to hang out and you’re always in your room or saying you’d rather be alone. They’re not really handling the situation well if they’re acting all mad at you for wanting to be alone, but maybe they’re getting defensive because they feel like you don’t like them. you could compromise and spend a little more time with them, but opt out of all the parties they go to. It’s difficult to live with people, especially people you don’t have much in common with, but sometmes you gotta make compromises in order to get along better.</p>
