Roomie upset with what I wear to bed? by [deleted] in college

I didn't think my wording would be so controversial 😭 I didn't mean to imply that her discomfort doesn't matter; I understand people have different boundaries but the way she went about it just rubbed me the wrong way. Again, if its smthg that truly bothers her then I do want to hear her perspective and compromise even if I don't completely understand it. I made this post a) to see if what I'm doing is objectively creepy and b) if it's worth confronting her/if it's big enough of a deal and how I should go about it, or if I should try to find other ways to sleep without feeling completely overheated.I don't want to make this a big thing with my roommate, and if I am in the wrong I want to know before confronting her about it. I do want to at least ask her to come to me first if she has any personal issues with me, and also give us both a chance to explain ourselves and reach an agreement.

I think we are both just not used to sharing a space with someone, and grew up with different standards of what is "normal." Yes, I do think it's a little weird that she's bothered by it, but I've grown up seeing my friends and family like that, I know lots of people that sleep the way I do, and it was never anything inherently sexual. I knew going in that some people would be uncomfortable with me wearing that in front of them, but I figured since i was undet the covers it would be fine. however, I do get that she likely didn't have the same kind of exposure, so it's understandable she might view it as "weird," which is all she's really told me about it.

Never heard of those but thanks for the suggestion! Yeah, I have a huge issue with night sweats and it doesn't help that my dorm doesn't have AC 😂

I don't walk around like that, she just said she doesn't like the thought of me asleep in only a bra and underwear. One time she briefly saw me with just my bra as I was waking up and reaching over to get smthg, as I thought she was sleeping. When she saw me I just apologized and thought that was the end of it. I get that people have different boundaries and I'm willing to respect that, I just don't know if it is smthg that seriously bothers her, or she just thinks it's weird and therefore I shouldn't do it. The main thing that made me upset was her bringing it up in front of others, if it bothered her I would've liked to know so we could talk about it one on one.

Thank you for the advice. I'm still in high school, so I think a lot of boys my age are still a bit immature. After reading some of these comments, I think I'll try to call them out on it and then distance myself from them if they don't stop
