<p>I guess I can say that my roommate and I get along pretty well. However, I know for a fact that she goes through my stuff on a regular basis, borrows my clothes without asking, uses my body wash, and recently stole my headphones. My headphones are usually plugged into my laptop and tuesday morning they weren't there anymore so i assumed she was just "borrowing" them. Well today, i saw them in her purse so i asked her if she knew where they were to see what she would say. She said that she hadn't seen them and acted as if she didn't even know what i was talking about. I know the obvious thing to do would be to confront her but i don't want things to be awkward since I have to live with her. Any advice?</p>
<p>Just confront her and say “look, I know you borrow my things, and I don’t mind sharing, but I’d appreciate it if you asked.” She’ll either respond rationally or act like a child who should still be in daycare.</p>
<p>^agreed. </p>
<p>You should confront. Do it right now (especially if she still has your headphones in her purse). </p>
<p>Tell her that you don’t want her to use your stuff anymore. She should not be going through your things, borrowing clothes, using your soap, headphones, etc.<br>
Be clear with her and stand firm. IMO–her actions are very disrespectful and show a lack of basic social skills.</p>
<p>That’s plain rude. Have a talk with her. Seriously. I don’t understand how some people can behave that way: disrespecting others and their personal property.</p>
