Hello!

Certainly, it is really unpleasant when a close friend insults and betrays trust. In this situation, it is important to learn to defend personal boundaries and your opinion as well. Let’s briefly describe how to do this.

1. Don’t take abuse

You must respect yourself, and therefore it is necessary to openly tell the roommate that her behavior offends you. If you let it go, she will continue to insult you. You must immediately make it clear that you will not tolerate this.

2. Talk to her

Tell your roommate how you feel and that her words hurt you. Ask why she behaves this way. Give her the opportunity to talk about the reasons for her behavior.

3. Make her hear you.

Some people don’t get hints, even if you’re honest with them. Your roommate may not be able to control herself, but the truth is that she can if she wants to.

If the roommate doesn’t care about your feelings, then you shouldn’t care about your own attitude towards her. You must show that you are a strong person and have the right to defend yourself. Don’t insult your roommate, but simply state the problem and say that you want her to stop insulting you.

4. Stay calm

The more prudent and calm you are, it is more likely that the roommate will hear and respect you.

Girl first off never ever spill your experiences in front of just anyone, I am certain it is possible to keep secretes from roommates because it's rare that roommates are best friends, anyways you shouldn't let any of this even crawl on your skin because it's not any of her business to judge you or suggest you or comment on you girl. She's insecure about her not so happening life then she can take a corner and cry about it, do not let her words effect you


You should know what you like, what you want, and if you are getting it, and having fun with it and is causing you no harm then that's all, no one else or nobody else's opinions matter, they're simply unsolicited and can do better without your attention


Just make sure you let comments pass though ears, it is a huge part of self care for me of I say

I guess you shouldn't even let the tinniest bit of your attention to this, if you like what you doing if it is keeping you happy and doesn't make you go bananas, then trust me my love no one else's opinion matter, it is your life and you make the calls, if someone doesn't like it it's their problem because we didn't even ask for their unsolicited words since the beginning.


Do not let these words effect you, you should be able to confront your inner self that's all, everyone else is irrelevant

read your very interesting situation. Look, you know exactly who you're rooming with. And what kind of reaction you expected from her (religious) when you told her about your sexual experience. Naturally, she was taken aback. And if you had told your experience to a lesbian, maybe you would have gotten a different reaction. Don't worry, it was predictable.
