Don't you worry about your psychotic roomie because you are wasting your time. He is doing everything he wants to do and then some more, like ruining my life here. I think there should be a song about the death of friendships after being roommates. Nothing is easy and it takes tremendous commitment and emotional maturity on both sides for a relationship to work. You have to deserve each other and be a person of integrity and capable of loving. Only few people are capable of a great love. The rest are psychotic narcissists and the mentally ill running around loose.
I should become friends with my therapist.
Anyways, here's what I have planned to say to him:
"You need to take care of yourself and I cannot cater to you anymore. You probably won't meet another person here who knows what you're truly like outside of school and still puts up with it. Don't take any of this the wrong way as I know you don't respond well to conflict and/or communication. If you want my honest opinion, I think silent friends are harmful to growth because their silence only perpetuate old, nasty patterns of behavior. Just because you've been this way and your friends back home know this does not make it excusable. I don't think you treat me well and trying to be your friend is frustrating and upsetting. I know my limits as a nice person. You may have it in you to be a good friend, but if you care to have a friendship with me you have to respectfully earn it."
