    From an early age, we learned to be humble and tolerant, and not to say "no". When faced with an unreasonable request from a roommate, the best way to say no is to justify your refusal. Tell her sincerely that you have your own things to be busy with, and you will help when you are free and willing to help, don't be afraid that she will be angry, and no one can serve another person for no reason.

    (1) The best way is to express one's refusal with reason.

    My former roommate was a clingy little girl who needed another companion for everything, and she didn't like to use her brain, and she was always dependent on others. Once, I wanted to rest at home, and her deadly chain came again. She wanted to go shopping, but she didn't want to go alone, so she asked me to go with her.

    I hesitated, embarrassed to refuse, and went with her. In the process of shopping, I was tired and not very interested, and she also felt it, and her mood was relatively low. We walked around the street and felt like we were rushing to the execution ground, and both sides were very unhappy.

    Not long after shopping, we went back. When she got home, she said she didn't want to go, she didn't want to go, and it was the same as what she owed me. Since then, every time I don't want to go, I have made it clear that I have refused, and she has stopped pestering.

    Now we have a good relationship, and we will still share delicious food and have fun together.

    (2) Tell her sincerely that you have your own things to be busy with, and you will help when you are free and willing to help.

    Never live in your own imagination, and don't be afraid of the bad results of your imagination. We need to be brave enough to express our thoughts and communicate honestly with our roommates. This way everyone will not get tired, and you will find that your roommate is not as unreasonable as you think.

    Getting along with people has always been a big problem, you need emotional intelligence to deal with it, otherwise it will leave a big problem, when your roommate always troubles herself, let yourself help her, at this time you should learn to refuse, but you can't be ruthless, which will affect each other's feelings.

    I believe that it is annoying to be troubled by other people's behavior of always bothering you, and if your roommate still takes the trouble to trouble you, you should excuse yourself from having other things to do and can't help the other person to do it. When telling the other person, the attitude should be gentle, so as not to leave a bad impression and affect the relationship between each other.

    Some people will be emboldened if they don't refuse all the time, thinking that it is a matter of course for you to help her do things, and it is acceptable to do it once or twice, but you can't let the other party rely on you all the time. Although roommates are very close and live together every day, they do not need to be responsible to each other, which will affect their lives.

    In the face of the trouble of your roommate, you must have your own position, otherwise your future life will be affected, and it will also bring great inconvenience to yourself. As an independent person, you can give warmth to the other person when they need help, but it does not mean that you will help the other person at all times, so that the other person will never grow up. <>

    Roommates should be united and help each other, but they can't always choose to tolerate each other, which will also make it difficult for themselves in the end. When the roommate is always troublesome to himself, at this time he should tell the other party that he is not going way, which is a good way to refuse, and if he does not refuse, he will fuel the other party's arrogance and make himself suffer a lot of grievances.

    How did it feel to live with your classmates and college roommates? Did your roommate make any unreasonable requests to you? But you are too embarrassed to refuse others, so you can only bear it silently.

    Next, the senior sister combined her own experience in college dormitory life to help the students summarize a set of methods. In this way, everyone will not offend anyone, and they will be able to refuse the unreasonable request of their roommate!

    Don't always be so strong in front of your roommates. We need to learn to pretend to be weak! Why do your roommates come to you first whenever something happens?

    It's because of your strength! Anything, you can do it. For example:

    You will always be able to do the homework assigned by the school teacher very quickly. Some roommates, in this case, will refer to your homework, or copy it. If your student is having any of the above problems, you can tell your roommate that you haven't done your homework either.

    Or rather, you're having something wrong in something and can't continue.

    When your roommate asks for help, you will be embarrassed. You have to reassure him, otherwise it will be difficult for you to refuse. Now, you can talk to him!

    You do things for him, and he will do things for you. If he won't help, you can also refuse.

    If the other person speaks again, you will change your mind, which will only give you more choice, and you will not be responsible for you or others. On the contrary, it will affect their work and leave a bad impression on them. We often say no to other people's requests on the grounds that we need to think about it.

    He did this in order to stall for time and make it difficult for his opponent to retreat. If you are not willing to say no to your face, then you must clearly tell him how long it will take to show your sincerity.

    Summary

    Senior sister wrote three methods above, all of which were summarized by my daily contact with my college roommates. If the roommate is really in trouble, we can help him within our means. But some roommates have the ability to do it themselves, and they have to seek help from others.

    Sometimes, helping him will delay your own business, and I think you need to think about it!

    As we all know, in the process of going to school, there are often situations where roommates trouble themselves, and they will also kidnap others with morality and ask themselves to help him do a lot of things. Therefore, you can directly refuse with words, or you can resist with words, so that you can effectively express your attitude. So what should we do to avoid our emotional friction and get along better with our roommates, I will give a few suggestions that I feel are more reasonable.

    1. Speak out loud about yourself and your inner thoughtsLearn to say no

    Precisely because you don't dare to directly refuse your roommate's request,So roommates will often ask you to bring meals and do other things often, and they won't even appreciate you for your actions。I think it's a very unfortunate thing, if you can't be confident, your relationship will not be equal, which means that your relationship itself is not as good as you think, and you don't have to help someone who won't thank you many times.

    Second, find more things to make your time sufficient(This can directly dispel their unreasonable thoughts).

    Don't always stay in the dormitory, do more activities in the dormitory, such as going out for self-study, sports, and parties in your spare time. In this way, you don't have the time and excuse to be used by others. If you're afraid that your relationship with your roommate will be too stalemate, you can invite them to join you so that your roommate relationship won't be too awkward.

    Three,Learn to be independent(College is not like elementary school, a lone wolf goes alone).

    No matter how you get along with others, there will always be people in this world who like you, and there will also be people who hate you. I think you need to be more courageous in your interpersonal interactions, and you don't have to suffer from these little things.

    You must know that everyone's personality is different, so it is normal that there will definitely be some friction or things in the process of getting along with roommates during the boarding period. Because roommates need to run in, if they don't run in, then they can't get together。Even if you say no, it is nothing more than that others have not asked for help from you, which is also a result that you are more inclined to see.
