So I moved into a great spot in may and my roommate is a friend of a friend. She’s super cool and I know we have a lot of similar interests but for some reason I’m weirdly self conscious about leaving my room when I know she’s up and about.

She’s super nice and sweet and has been really kind to me while I’ve been sick recently, so why is it so hard for me to just go hang out in the living room? To be fair I have a tv and loveseat in my room so I don’t need to go out to the den to watch tv. But I get so unhealthily anxious about interacting sometimes. I really want to be her friend and I think she does too and is probably wondering why I don’t engage much lol. She has told me before that it’s a shared space and she doesn’t care if I hang in our shared space. 

In the past I’ve had some unhealthy roommate situations so maybe this is based on paranoia, but idk what to do. It’s something I’ve been struggling with for a while now. I feel like a weirdo.
