#Hello, I'm Gu Yi, and I'm as modest and self-effacing as ever!
♥ Take a moment to sort out your feelings and take stock!
The age of 20 is an amazing time in life! It's a period of great sensitivity when our minds are still developing. We pay a lot of attention to what others think of us, want to be affirmed, are afraid of being alone, and are afraid of doing anything alone.
However, the first roommate relationship presents an opportunity to learn and grow. It's a chance to develop interpersonal skills and navigate the challenges that come with forming new relationships. Don't worry, you're not alone! Many college students have faced similar challenges and have found creative ways to overcome them. So, how can you make the most of your dormitory relationships and address their root causes?
We've already had some contact with university life, and when we face it again, we'll be even better prepared than before! We'll have a solid psychological foundation to draw on. And here's another thing: sincerity is your best billboard! All we have to do is be ourselves, learn a few simple skills for getting along with others, and understand the basic wisdom of getting along with others.
♥ It's so much fun getting along with people who have different talents!
❀People in university dormitories come from all over the country, which means there's a whole world of possibilities right there in our living spaces! We come from our own small circles, and our living habits, thinking patterns, values, friendship styles, time concepts, etc. are all different. So if we can have a certain understanding, we can communicate better with each other. Initially, it is difficult to integrate, but if we respect differences and sincerely release ourselves, we can always make friends!
❀Don't put too much effort into any relationship. Many children try to avoid being isolated at school by trying to please others from the beginning, without a sense of boundaries and being nice to others. However, this is actually not a healthy relationship. Everything needs to be done in moderation. Master your own rhythm, integrate and adapt, rather than please others.
The university is a big, exciting stage! You'll find that the topics discussed in the sophomore dormitory are different from those in the freshman dormitory. You'll also find that as you get older, your classmates don't seem as "bad" as they used to be. Everyone is busy finding their role on this university stage and making their lives more colorful. So find your own rhythm and be yourself, and there will always be interpersonal relationships that suit you! You'll also slowly feel the changing atmosphere in the dormitory.
Wishing you the very best!

I can totally relate to how overwhelming and scary it feels to face a situation like this again. It's completely valid to feel anxious about dorm relationships, especially after what you've been through. Maybe starting small, like joining a club or finding online communities related to your interests, could help ease back into things.
It sounds really tough, and I'm sorry you're going through this. The fear of repeating past experiences is intense. Have you thought about reaching out to a counselor at school? Sometimes just talking things through with a professional can lighten the load and offer new coping strategies.
The idea of facing the same challenges again is terrifying, but taking that gap year shows you have the strength to take control of your life. Perhaps setting up some personal boundaries and communicating openly with any new roommates might prevent similar issues from arising in the future.
Your feelings are so understandable, and it's okay to be scared. But remember, you don't have to go through this alone. There are people who care and resources available on campus. Maybe connecting with a peer mentor or older students could provide some support and guidance as you navigate this next phase.
I admire your courage for coming back after stepping away. It's natural to feel this way, but consider focusing on selfcare and building a support network. Surrounding yourself with positive influences can make a huge difference and help you feel more secure in your environment.
