Re: Ask away

[(Anonymous)]

Chiming in with they might have their reasons not to initiate conversation.

I think it'd be good to tell your roommate, "I want us to be comfortable with each other. I like to say hi when I enter a room/space. The other day you walked into the kitchen and didn't say anything. I feel awkward when this happens." And then follow up with your wants/expectations. Ask your roommate what their wants/expectations are, if they have any.

Maybe you two can come up with a compromise. Or maybe you just need to clear the air.

For me, I grew up in a household where I was only acknowledged when my parents wanted/needed something from me. Subconsciously, I can dread someone greeting me in fear that the greeting comes with expectations for me drop everything to show up for other person.

It wasn't until a couple weeks ago I read this thing where the person stated we should say "hi" to people, even if we're just walking past each other because we are acknowledging each other's existence and it feels good...that I understood that a simple "hi" is a part of human social interaction.
It's one of those small things that we should do because humans are social creatures.

Like, for me, I'm fine if someone enters a room and doesn't acknowledge me. But I've learned most people prefer to be greeted with a "hi/hey/hello" yet they likely might be too afraid to be the one to initiate the greeting, so I try to say hi to most people. I also remind myself it's OK if I'm tired and forget to greet people every now and then.
