I was nervous/excited to start college at Texas State.I am very shy and have a hard time transitioning.I knew that i would eventually get use to it and make friends.I thought the first friend I would make would be my roommate.I wanted to make an effort to get along with whoever i was set up because i did not want to be uncomfortable in a small room with someone that didn't get along with me .I really didn't think about fighting with a roommate because i get along with everyone that i socialize with.I knew i wouldn't run into that problem but when i walked into my room for the first time my roommate was so uninterested in meeting me.I had to initiate conversation so i put my hand out to shake hers and to tell her who i was.She told me her name and that was the only exchange in words we had that day since she spends most of her time out of the room.she had made it seem like it was only her room and that i was somewhat intruding it because she had thrown my existence to the back of her mind.
The next day i needed to talk to her ,not only to get to know her but to set some rules.That day she answered my questions and only replied when i said something to her ,she was so uninterested in talking to me so i stopped talking to her.I decided to at least greet her when i had walked in,again she replied with a uncaring voice so i stopped all in all.
Its the end of the second week and we never say a word to each other she stays out of my way and i stay out of hers.It just bothers me that i live with a stranger.I thought that maybe she was shy but she had tons of friends and brings them over sometimes so i knew she wasn't shy.I don't know how to connect with her to at least making living in a dorm more comfortable.I guess we will see what happens through the rest of the year.
