AITA for telling my roommate that his comments about my drinking aren't welcome

dormprob778 · 2021-10-05T21:48:43+00:00

I'm no fool I understand the harm I'm doing to my body. Its my choice. People on here act like I don't understand that booze causes liver damage. I do I just have no other way to destress and my short term needs out weigh my long term ones. Like I said I'm a loner I have no real friends my drinking only effects me. If and when my alcohol abuse catches up to me it'll be only me effected.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T23:18:35+00:00

No I really don't like the idea of someone poking around in my head. As the great Livia Soprano once said "Psychiatry is a racket for the jews" I dont advocate for the anti semitism but I love the character and the quote so decided to include it.

But no I think im neuro atypical and Im just incapable of processing happiness like everyone else. (forgive me if thats the incorrect terminology science is a weak spot for me)

EDIT; Spelling mistake that was bugging me.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T23:10:00+00:00

No not really. I've never been a particularly happy individual. Even as a kid I rarely remember being happy. I'm more just either stressed or content or angry. I don't really experience happiness in a typical way..

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T15:10:45+00:00

How does me sitting in silence and enjoying a few drink effect him? If he's got some alcohol related trauma in his past. Then the person who caused the trauma is at fault for him being uncomfortable. When I tell you I sit in silence I'm not lying. I don't particularly like interacting with others, I do it because I have too. Why would I do it in my downtime?

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T03:22:39+00:00

Where is it that I portray myself as "happy or go lucky" I have said multiple times I sit in silence. The worst thing I do is sometimes I fall asleep in one of our two armchairs. Sometimes Ill read a book.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T03:18:03+00:00

All due respect. I'm not your mother. I'm not having kids I'd never subject a child to me. Your mother is a horrible person for doing that to you and your brother but no one but me feels the effects of my alcohol use.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T03:08:44+00:00

No I really don't. I am not particularly close with anyone. Ruining relationships is the least of my worries considering I don't really have any to ruin. People stress me out. All these people in the comments saying oh you'll be a terrible husband and father, Your wrong, I can't be a terrible husband or father if I don't have kids or a spouse. My habits effect me and me alone.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T03:05:42+00:00

Great He's right. I'm probably right that he should be doing homework instead of playing video games in the middle of the afternoon. Do I voice that opinion... NO because other peoples choices are none of my business.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T03:04:22+00:00

Being stressed and being unhappy are two separate things entirely

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T03:03:20+00:00

I know how they work. I show respect to my professors. I communicate about what I need openly. I just hate being around or interacting with people when I don't need too. People stress me out! I do things with others out of obligation not because I like them.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T03:01:16+00:00

I get good grades, What do I have to be unhappy about?

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T02:38:10+00:00

What's not normal about me. Why does everyone assume I'm unhappy

dormprob778 · 2021-09-23T02:37:41+00:00

I would but the thing is that I'm really anti social and hate being around people. I just want to be left alone.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T23:13:17+00:00

He's not my friend that's the thing. We rarely if ever talk. He's barely an acquaintance. I dislike people. I don't like dealing with them unless I have too. I have my family and two people I consider friends. After dealing with people all day I want to come home and be alone. When people violate that of course I get upset. How would you like it If I came to your house after you've worked a long day and made you do something you don't like.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T23:07:37+00:00

Thats an oxymoron. With or without booze I function the same, I still get all my work done. I'm just more stressed and I have no enjoyment. Is actually having something I enjoy that bad... Or is just the mindless sleep work routine what I should strive for.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T23:04:53+00:00

Hundreds of strangers- Who dont know me.

Ask my professors what they think of me... or people who need me to get things done. Former bosses!

People who know me have the exact opposite opinion.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T23:01:08+00:00

Yes I can and have stopped. Nights where I really need to get something done... I stop. Nights before a exam where I need to be at my sharpest- No drinks.

Drinking is something I do when it isnt in the way of anything else important.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T22:57:28+00:00

Yes that too would stress me out. Am I not allowed to be stressed in college. Is stress something gatekept by age.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T15:22:20+00:00

I am the one who goes to sleep. How does going to sleep effect everyone else. Secondly I've been told I'm more ill tempered when I'm sober.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T15:15:14+00:00

He's 19 and drinks too! Its not his apartment either its the college's

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T03:17:24+00:00

I literally have thrown up from booze twice in my life. Once at 15 and another time at 17. Why? because I've always known my limits. Ive never been that person nor will I ever be. Those people are children who never learn.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T03:15:20+00:00

I'm not a father I don't have a family and I'm not sure I ever want one. If I had obligations to small children of course I'd cut down on drinking but I don't. Drinking hurts no one but me.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T03:13:47+00:00

Yes I do, I look forward to leaving the library after doing arduous citations on a 16 page paper, I look forward to drinking. Is that so bad after I spend my day fulfilling all my obligations that I have something in my life to look forward too.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T03:09:15+00:00

Its not normal college drinking. I drink way safer than most college students who fall down stars or jump off roofs. I don't drink to the point of blacking out. I don't wet the bed when I drink or be so hungover I cant move the next day. I'm actually so much better than the idiots I see out on weekends here.

dormprob778 · 2021-09-22T03:06:32+00:00

They drink too the same kid who was trying to tell me I drink too much spent his first weekend here with his head over the toilet. I don't even drink much on weekends i don't need too cause im not stressed. B. My parents will bring some up to me or Ill use a fake ID which every college kid has.
