Is this the weirdest flatmate yet - Update!
I posted a story about a week or so ago about a guy that I reckon is seriously one of the weirdest that I've come across on this site and those who live with him were asking for our help. They've since sent me another message to update us on their situation....
"UP DATE - got an update on our weird house mate. We all found it funny that it had been put under the title of “could this be the weirdest flat mate yet and thankyou for all of your responses. Saturday just gone (24th June) we had a house party/BBQ for another one of our house mates birthday. our weird flatmate came down for all of about 5 minutes and I was a little drunk and finally asked him straight up what he does in his room all day. He avoided answering the question and disappeared again. About an hour later i was even drunker and me and a crazy Welsh man who was as drunk if not drunker went up and banged on the door insisting he came down and stopped being so anti-social. He snapped at me and told me to fuck off (he did later apologise for this). Dont get the wrong idea, we dont dislike this guy, we just find his behavior a little strange and hard to deal with. Anyway if anyone else has any theories please keep them coming, i dont think were getting any closer to the answer but we are finding it funny reading them. Cheers guys" Well, what do you make of it? Could it be that he just doesn't like his flatmates? Leave me your thoughts below...COMMENT: AUTHOR: A EMAIL: alisonharvey@ozemail.com.au DATE: 2006-06-30 11:39:08 I have a similar housemate and wondering the same thing. She cut back on uni and work so she could sit in her room all day and do what?? And now she has been told to rest for 2 weeks because she injured her leg, and was complaining about having to watch tv all day! I thought, isn't that what you do anyway? But when I come home, sometimes I hear her run into her room and shut the door. She won't come out while I'm there, and then peers out of her window when I leave. WEIRDO!

Maybe there's something about you that she finds annoying or tries to avoid and feels the best way of resolving it is by avoiding you at all costs. Or maybe she fancies you. Either way, if i were you i'd sit back and think real hard; who knows, maybe it's not her, maybe it's you.

if it was her, the crazy flatmate would leave by now. i have been in
situations, both as the person avoiding and being avoided, and the most it has ever lasted for is a month. When i was avioding though, i never stayed at home, i went everywhere but there, and when i was bein avioded, they were out in a week. I think there is more to the story, because like i said if she is that bad to live with, the crazy flatmate would have been long gone by now

I used to have a flatmate EXACTLY like that. we all wondered what was up with her. Later she moved out because she actually had severe depression. I reckon that's probably what's going on with your flatmate too. So be sensitive, and remember, its not you that is their problem, their problem is their own!

Sounds like they have depression. Sitting in your room all day is a sign. I mean, they could be playing with themselves as well, but they are probably depressed.

I agree with Jen because I actually suffer from Depression and that's what I do - retreat to the bedroom for fear of being judged. Just go easy on them as long as they pay their bills right?! In the past though I've had a flatmate who acted in exactly the same way although he was addicted to Methamphetamines and later I found out he was doing drugs in his bedroom. This may also be a possibility. Cheers.
