During the repetition, the dormitory conflicts have brought me immense mental distress. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

We had to coordinate the dormitory hygiene arrangements ourselves, and because of the conflicts in the dormitory, we had several arguments. At the time, there was a problem with the cleaning schedule (each person was responsible for cleaning for one month, and because only two people were cleaning together, they were afraid that the other person would do less work and they would suffer, so neither of them wanted to clean. In fact, I didn't want to either, it was very troublesome, but I still followed the rules). One girl was always finding reasons to give me instructions about hygiene, and after a few times I became very dissatisfied and argued with her. She had a very strong personality, while I was more soft-spoken, and she also had a very bad attitude. I felt that it was none of her business. At that time, my mind was very confused, and I didn't grasp the point during the argument. In the end, the dormitory supervisor came and persuaded me to clean anyway, which resulted in me cleaning twice a week.

Later, she and I fell into an antagonistic situation of ignoring each other. After the fight, I was in great mental pain for a month. It was annoying to have to share a dorm room with that girl, so I could only distract myself from thinking about it by focusing on my studies. I didn't realize that it still affected my final exam and I dropped directly to the 40s. I really felt helpless at school. There was no recording equipment to provide evidence, and there were no electronic products to contact my parents.

It's hard to take a leave of absence once a month. No matter who helps me, there is no solution to this kind of thing. I have to solve it myself.

I'm the only one fighting this battle alone. I have friends, but they're kind of neutral. They don't want to get involved in this kind of thing and just let it play out. I'm a softy, and I don't know what's going on. Whenever I get into an argument with someone, I get scared and start shaking. That girl can talk a lot more than I can, and I'm quiet and don't know what to say.

Now I'm afraid to go to the teachers because if I do, they'll see and go to them. I really want to escape, but I can't get away from this roommate.

I have to go back to school soon, and I have already finished the month-long spring cleaning. My friend and I are taking turns doing it, and she is a bit of a bully and not very talkative. I don't feel like doing it, and I don't want to say that it's her turn, but what if she doesn't want to do it? I feel like it will ruin our relationship and cause a big fight. What should I do?

And I don't want to say a word to the girl with whom I have a conflict, but I still have to negotiate hygiene with her, and the other party's attitude is not good either. I really feel bad, and coupled with the failure of my grades, I don't really want to repeat the year.

Hello, classmate! Let me give you a warm hug first.

Hey there! I can see that you're facing some challenges right now. It's totally normal to feel confused and stressed when you're dealing with bedroom conflicts and the pressure of grades. I'm here to support you and help you navigate this journey. I've included some resources below that you can refer to for more information and guidance.

1. I know you said you don't want to involve the teacher, but it might be a good idea to let a professional handle the problem. You can talk to the school counselor, psychologist, or other administrators, who may be able to offer more specific advice and support.

They can also help you work through bedroom conflicts to prevent things from getting worse.

2. We all know that communicating with a roommate with whom you have conflicts can be difficult. But it's still so important to try to communicate with her in a calm manner. You can choose an appropriate time to express your feelings and concerns, while also listening to her views.

When you're talking to your roommate, it's best to stay calm and rational. Try to avoid getting too emotional. If you can, it's a great idea to work out some hygiene rules together. This can help to reduce conflicts and make your roommate happier.

3. Your friends may not be able to directly intervene in conflicts in the bedroom, but they can still be a great source of understanding and support for you. You can share your troubles and stress with them, and they can offer advice and encouragement.

You might also want to reach out to your family and let them know what's going on. They'll be happy to offer you moral support!

4. You've got this! In the face of these difficulties, it is very important to maintain a positive attitude and focus on personal growth. You can focus on your studies and work hard to improve your grades.

4. We know it can be tough, but it's really important to try to stay positive and focus on your own personal growth. You can focus on your studies and try to improve your grades.

At the same time, you can also find activities that can relax and entertain you, such as sports, music, reading, etc. These are great ways to relieve stress and anxiety!

5. Adjust your mentality and expectations. We all know that repeating a year is a challenging process in itself, and conflicts in the dormitory are just one aspect of it. You've got this! It's so important to understand and accept that there will always be difficulties and challenges in life, and that these difficulties do not mean you should give up.

It's important to understand and accept that there will always be difficulties and challenges in life. These difficulties don't mean you should give up.

On the other hand, you can think of these challenges as chances to grow and learn. Try to adjust your mindset and expectations to better handle the different obstacles you'll face as a repeater.

6. I know you're feeling the pressure of the college entrance exam, especially since we're repeating the year. I'm sure you're feeling it twice as much as other students! But I also know you're determined and confident. You've got this! All the challenges you face are just stepping stones to your goal. You know what you want, and you're going to get it!

7. When our goals are clear enough, everything else is insignificant compared to this. We speak with strength and learn for ourselves, not for others. Even if we win an argument, what's the point? Everyone sees things from a different perspective, and the answers they get are different. There's no real right or wrong. Even if we win an argument, those who see things from a different perspective may still be verbally attacked.

We just need to do what we should do and feel no remorse. After all, after the college entrance exam is over, everyone will go their separate ways, and these roommates may not have the opportunity to meet again. So let's make the most of this time together!

And remember, it's not worth wasting your precious time and emotions on trivial matters.

In summary, when you're facing difficulties, it's really important to believe in yourself and your ability to overcome them. At the same time, remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself some tolerance and understanding, because you may encounter setbacks and failures in the process.

In summary, when you're facing difficulties, it's really important to believe in yourself and your ability to overcome them. And remember to be kind to yourself too, because you might encounter setbacks and failures along the way.

But as long as you maintain a positive attitude and work hard, you'll be just fine! I believe in you and I know you can do a great job.

I really hope the above can be of some inspiration and benefit to you. I'm really looking forward to meeting a better you, and I know the world loves you with us!

Dear colleague, I can see you're in a tough spot. It's a tricky situation, with the conflict over bedroom hygiene and the strained relationship with your roommate. Your feelings are understandable; anyone would feel stressed and troubled in this situation.

You're trying to find a solution to the problem while also looking out for your mental health. Your concerns and fears are totally valid, especially when dealing with a dominant roommate whose personality may make you feel even more vulnerable.

Your poor grades and stress are a direct result of this conflict, which makes you feel even more frustrated and desperate. It's tough to feel the conflicting emotions of wanting to escape from the situation but not being able to.

We all have to deal with conflict and stress at work, but it can also be a chance to learn and grow. To resolve a conflict, you need to be willing to communicate and compromise.

Your roommate probably has her own concerns and fears, like the fear of an unfair distribution of labor. But communication doesn't mean you have to be right in every conversation. It means you find a solution that's acceptable to both of you.

Once you've had a chance to calm down, try to understand your feelings and needs. Why are you feeling afraid and trembling?

Is it because you're afraid of conflict? Or because you're afraid of losing out?

Knowing what you're feeling is the first step to solving the problem. Look for a time when you're both feeling calmer and try to express your feelings and concerns in a calm tone of voice.

You can use "I" statements to express your feelings, like "I feel a bit troubled because I feel we could find a fairer way to distribute the cleaning tasks." This can help defuse the situation and get the other person to see your point of view.

It'd be helpful to try to understand your roommate's position. Maybe she's acting strong because she's also worried about her rights. If you understand each other's needs and concerns, you can find common ground and reach a consensus.

See if you can come up with a plan that both of you are happy with. You might have to make some compromises, but this is an important step in building a good relationship.

You mentioned your academic performance is a source of pressure, but it's not irreversible. A decline in performance doesn't mean you've lost all opportunities. You can view it as a challenge, something that motivates you to study harder.

As for avoiding the problem, it's a totally normal reaction, but it won't help. You've got to face up to the problem, even though it's tough. That's the only way you'll learn and grow.

If you're not sure you can solve the problem on your own, you might want to think about getting some help from someone external, like a school counselor or psychologist. They can offer a fresh perspective and help you find a solution.

Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Stay positive and believe you can find a solution to any problem.

Let's do this!

Every effort deserves recognition, and every drop of sweat deserves respect. Feedback, attention, and praise are not just forms of recognition; they're also incentives.

This kind of feedback is like spring rain nourishing our hearts, giving us more motivation to excel and create more value.

I'd also suggest reading "Nonviolent Communication."

Hello, question asker!

From your description, I can sense your inner confusion and the feeling of not wanting to face it. At the same time, you also have a good ability to perceive, to perceive this uncomfortable emotion, and to face it bravely.

You mentioned that due to some disagreements with the more assertive girls in the dormitory, you found it challenging to express your feelings when cleaning. The lack of support from your parents and friends made you feel a bit helpless, which led to a decline in your grades. You will likely face similar challenges at the beginning of the semester, and you are even hesitant to talk to your friends about it because they are also relatively strong. This has made you feel a bit fearful and helpless about going to school. Is that right?

From what you've shared, I can see that you're going through a lot. It's understandable that you're feeling a range of emotions right now. I want to reassure you that this is not your fault. Your personality may be shaped by your family environment and the experiences you've had. I've never met someone with such a strong will before, and your personality has led you to experience negative emotions.

All problems can be viewed as potential resources, and we all have the capacity to solve our own problems. By being aware of this and seeking help, you are already taking the first steps on your journey of change.

Based on your description, I feel I may be able to offer some advice that could be helpful.

First of all, I would like to suggest that you talk to your parents about this uncomfortable feeling you are experiencing. It might help you to talk about it with them, as they may also be feeling the same way. At the same time, you could ask your parents if there is anything they need from you, or if there is anything you can do to help them.

Secondly, if you are feeling uncomfortable with your classmates and are unsure about going to school, you might like to consider speaking to a psychologist or counselor. They can offer guidance on how to manage your feelings and adjust your perception, which could help you to face the situation with more confidence.

If I might make one more suggestion, it would be to try to learn to adjust your state of mind and believe that you can face it. It might help to accept and allow yourself to have this state of mind when facing the words and actions of others. You might find it helpful not to worry about it too much.

It may be helpful to consider ways of strengthening our inner selves and becoming more confident, as these can contribute to facing this problem with a clear mind. Some people find that practising positive mental meditation or exercising more can help to relieve this uncomfortable feeling. This may be because it encourages the brain to secrete dopamine, which can provide a sense of relief and help us to move on from this feeling.

Life has the power to heal those who are willing to embrace it. When you find yourself facing this kind of confusion, I gently suggest that you consider facing the problem head-on. It may be helpful to remember that the more you fear something, the more you should try it. This could potentially help you to break through your own barriers. At the same time, it's important not to overthink things. You can also seek guidance from your parents or a psychological counselor, or adjust your state by distracting yourself. As long as you are willing, you have the power to change yourself.

It might also be helpful to believe in your own strength, your methods, and your potential. If you believe and truly believe that you can make a difference and break through, you may be able to find a solution to your problem.

Hello, classmate. I can see you're feeling confused, and I'm here to support you.

It seems that the cleaning in your dormitory is arranged by a few of you.

It's possible that the other two roommates may perceive you as weak and take advantage of you by making you do more cleaning than you're comfortable with.

Could I suggest that you consider other ways of organising the cleaning duties?

As a potential solution, you could consider having each person draw a name, with the person whose name is drawn being responsible for the task. This way, no one is left out of the loop.

Your friend has a strong personality, and the girl in the dormitory who had a conflict with you before also has a strong personality. This may make it challenging for you to communicate with them.

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider why you feel afraid of them.

They have a personality that could be perceived as fierce or strong, and they may remind you of someone in your family.

It might be helpful to consider that your friend could be similar to your mother in some ways.

Perhaps it would be helpful to try to set aside any preconceived ideas you may have about your friend. It's possible that you've assumed she's not very approachable because she comes across as quite assertive.

You might consider trying to communicate with this friend of yours.

It's possible that after communicating with her, you may find that she is not as difficult to get along with as you initially thought.

It's not uncommon for us to inadvertently create problems for ourselves.

It might be helpful to try to see the situation with your roommates in the dormitory in a different light.

It's possible that after communicating with them, you may find some unexpected benefits.

I truly hope that you can find a solution to the problem you're facing soon.

I hope I have been able to provide some helpful insight. I am always available to answer any further questions you may have.

I hope that my above response has been helpful and inspiring to you, my fellow student. I am here to answer any questions you may have, and I study hard every day.

I would like to extend my best wishes to you here at Yixinli.

I hope this finds you well. I just wanted to drop you a quick line to see how you're doing. I'm sending you all my best wishes and hoping that this message finds you in good spirits.

Piper Thomas Time is a carousel of friendships, some lasting, some fleeting.

I understand how tough it's been with the dorm situation. It sounds like you've had to deal with a lot of unfairness and stress over the cleaning duties. The girl seemed to be pushing you around, and that's frustrating when you're just trying to follow the rules.

Harold Thomas The measure of a man is what he does with his time.

It's really hard when someone is constantly criticizing you and not respecting your efforts. I can see why you felt so upset and lost during the argument. Sometimes it feels like there's no winning in these situations, especially when personalities clash so much.

James Thomas We grow as we learn to take responsibility for our lives.

The mental strain from this conflict must have been immense, impacting even your studies and exam results. It's heartbreaking that you couldn't find an outlet or support system to help you through it all. Facing such challenges alone can make anyone feel helpless and isolated.

Ulysses Davis Life is a cycle of light and darkness, embrace both.

Negotiating hygiene with someone who has a poor attitude towards you must be incredibly difficult. It seems like every interaction could potentially escalate into another argument. I wonder if there's a way to handle these discussions more constructively or if there's a mediator who could assist.

Nelson Davis Forgiveness is a way to make the world a more forgiving place, one heart at a time.

Having friends who are neutral in this situation might be a doubleedged sword. While they may not offer direct support, their presence can still be comforting. Perhaps talking to them about your feelings can provide some relief, even if they don't take sides.
