Re: Living with other people makes me unhappy and I think it's a serious problem

(Anonymous) 2012-11-16 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if it's "normal," but I have the same issue to a lesser extent. ...Well, no, that's not quite true. I don't have quite the same reactions as you, but they're just a severe.

I have noticed though that it's not a matter of the number of people, but that it depends on who those people are. My relatives for example are horrible people who treat me like garbage, so of course the fewer of them around that happier I am. Yet last year I studied abroad and lived with 1-2 other people at any given moment and I was mostly fine as long as they weren't obnoxiously hogging the kitchen or inviting over noisy friends. Quiet flatmates who cause me no trouble though? No problem at all. Visiting friends? Again, no problem.

Come back to live with my family? I've been here 6 months and seriously thought about killing myself at least three times. So I'm inclined to suggest it might not be the number of people you're living with, but the people themselves. I certainly don't think preferring to be alone is a problem.

Seeing a psychologist or therapist couldn't hurt though. They might be able to suggest ways help yourself calm down during those moments when there are too many people around.
