If you were to live with someone that kept to them self would you be uncomfortable around them? One of my roommates is like that and it scares me. He hardly talks to anyone and he mumbles to himself a lot. It's just sometimes I wonder what goes on in his head? I get worried that one day he might snap or something of that nature. I am quiet as well but if I have something bothering me I try to seek advice or help from someone. Also I talk to my roommates and try to talk to the roommate that I mentioned before. It can be hard to talk to him because he has his headphones on most of the time and I am guessing they turned up loud because when I try and talk to him he doesn't always hear me. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.

I can see where your coming from and how
disconcerting it must be, specially as you
have to share a room with him!

Have you tried to ask him to go out for a
drink or something and tried to chat to him?

peace devil

Ever wondered if maybe even though you think you're also a quiet person - that he might think you talk too much?

Just a thought.

What do you mean? What does that have to do with him not talking much to me? confused That it's a turn off to him to talk to me because he thinks I talk too much? I am quiet but at least I talk to people when they talk to me. frustrated

Not meant to insult you - sorry.

Do people have to talk just because you want to - do they have to smile because you are - some people like their own company or are just into the music - book or whatever - talk to someone who
reciprocates.


Mind you don't hurt your head.

Maybe he is just quiet by nature. Some people are. I am not only when I am writing, then I say nothing for days. Maybe something is on his mind, he can not talk about.

Ok, SERIOUSLY, if you want him to talk you have to get him to do something like help with chores or draw a picture or do something like that with his hands. Then, start asking him innocent questions while he's doing that. Then, he may talk.

^^^ This! BE AFRAID...VERY AFRAID!!! He probably is just sitting there waiting for the very moment when he just snaps and goes from neighbor - neighbor with his AR-15 assault rifle, pumping round after round into people that say hello.




In all seriousness, nothing to worry about, some people just aren't social. I'm like that around other guys in particular. I just don't socialize very well with other men. However, that just me.

Yeah I was kinda like that with my former roommates. Maybe he feels as if he can't identify with any of the others so he just doesn't talk to them. sigh

Quiet but mumbles to himself? I have just the thing to cure this person and help you gain a friend. Scream "Banzai" as loud as you can and then run across the room and kick him in the nuts. Everyone will have a good laugh about the whole thing over beer later that night.cheers yay
