[portokali]

and sometimes i feel like speaking to my international friends in greek as if we both speak it. or at least that there Should be an other language we both speak that we should definitely switch to because this talking to each other in english thing is getting old

Hi I saw your comments and I'm so sorry as a Spanish speaking person myself that ppl are so shitty. :/ I hope time goes super quick so u can get a new roommate. Just hold on for now and try to do things that make yourself happy if u know she's not gonna be a descent person. I hope it doesn't discourage u of having a Spanish speaker roommate in the future. Just feel it out that they're not a piece of shit 😊

I just DON’T UNDERSTAND!

EVERYONE knows it’s RUDE AS HELL to keep speaking a language someone else doesn’t understand right in front of them (especially since they’ve used that to talk shit about me while standing right next to me #confirmed), ESPECIALLY when you know it makes them (me) feel uncomfortable and isolated and excluded. (I have nothing against Spanish-speaking people, btw, I just wish I wasn’t a monolingual dumbass and could actually communicate lol.)

We discussed this before we even moved in together, she KNEW it was something I was worried about, and not even to be racist but just like... come on, man, you know I can’t contribute anything here, that’s just fucking mean! And she was never like this until her sister started staying with us and now I’m lucky if she talks to me once a week, even at work. It’s ridiculous. They CLEARLY don’t like me and I have no idea what I did, so I just stay in my room most of the time to avoid them. But THEN that’s fucked up too because this asshole (her sister) isn’t paying ANYTHING to live here, she’s just mooching off us because her uni got closed down and for some reason she can’t go home -eye roll-, and it’s like.... like HELL I’m gonna let HER chase me out of my own apartment and keep me cooped up in my room when I’m the one ACTUALLY PAYING to live here and she isn’t paying a dime. The fucked up thing is I wouldn’t even CARE if all of this didn’t lead to them excluding me from everything. I was actually excited for her to stay with us (back when I thought this whole pandemic would be over in a few weeks, sigh) because I thought the three of us would get to hang out and become friends since my roommate would actually have to stay around (before, she was always out doing things so she was barely here and our work schedules are different so sometimes we can go a week without seeing each other), but it’s just... worse. And I hate it. I’m past the point of even wanting to confront them and I just want to get the hell out. I shouldn’t have to EXPLAIN TO YOU that it’s rude af to keep speaking a language someone doesn’t understand right in front of them. Fuck, what if she didn’t know English well (she’s fluent) and all I did was speak English? She’d be upset too, so why is it okay for her to do it to me???? It just sucks man and it really fucking hurts my feelings. I’m moving out in 5 months and I’m gonna go live on my family’s property in the sticks and try to make that work. I can work on my books, my stepsister wants to help me with my food blog, I won’t have to worry about getting a job right away or having to pay bills... I’m actually excited about it and I’m just ready for this to be over.
