Why does my roommate talks to himself?

Your roommate might not be aware of how she affects people around her when she’s talking about herself, and perhaps she’s thoughtless, not realizing how often she does it. Your roommate could be struggling with her identity or have self-esteem issues and is compensating by talking herself up as a way of coping.

How do you stop talking to someone you live with?

Respond politely, yet curtly. If you want to limit your conversation, don’t skimp on manners. Be polite, but don’t feel the need to carry out long conversations. Remain respectful in your interactions, but send the message that you are not willing to talk at length.

How do I get my roommate to stop being noisy?

If no amount of talk can get your roommate to stop being noisy, you could simply distance yourself. If you’re not sharing a small dorm room, you might be able to go to another room. On the other hand, you could create a soundproof nest wherever you are.

How do you deal with a roommate who makes phone calls?

You could also designate “quiet hours” during the day and, of course, all through the night. And if your roommate insists on having loud and lengthy phone calls, you could exile them to the balcony, the hallway, or their room, until they’re done.

How to soundproof a dorm room with room divider curtains?

On the other hand, if the space you’re sharing with your noisy roommate is only a small dorm room, you could create a private cocoon by installing a room divider curtain. Unlike regular soundproof drapes, room divider curtains usually have the same material on both sides of the panel. So both sides should be attractive to look at.

How do you insulate a room from outside noise?

The best way to insulate your room from sounds that are coming from inside your apartment or house is to start with the doors and shared walls. To that end, I recommend installing a weatherstripping tape all along the inside of the door, where it will hit the frame, as well as a door sweep.
