I live in the same house as my landlord and it's like he's constantly walking up and down the halls, playing with the dog, walking with the grandkid, etc. The son and his wife like to walk around and use the kitchen a lot. Sometimes it's insanely difficult to leave my room and go out and do anything around the house without bumping into someone. I am lucky if I feel like I can leave my room and use the bathroom. Why am I doing this? I get anxiety about my landlord asking why I am home.  He sometimes does this and asks if I am going to go out and do anything. I worry that he will judge and think I am unfit to be renting a place if I say no I am not going anywhere today. I try to be quiet, stay in my room, etc. to make it seem like I am not here.   


I feel anxiety because I've been kicked out of a place once the year lease was up because I "had an unreliable source of income." Despite paying everything on time including the utilities. The truth is it didn't have much to do with that. They just wanted 4 rooms for 4 people instead of 5 because two of my roommates got out of a relationship. They wanted to move a friend in one room and another wanted her own room. It gives me anxiety if I have to find another place to live and I don't want to be on the streets. I am self employed and own my own business. It's incredibly hard to get a place in Los Angeles when you don't have a job and you own your own business. Yeah that's why I have anxiety.
