Ugh. I’ve been having some real problems with the dorm life. My roommate usually likes to call their friends over discord or w/e and play games, usually late… I feel so terrible for being so rude about it but being autistic, the noise level really gets on my nerves. There are times where I have to leave or I’ll start hitting myself. Sometimes I can just go somewhere else, but at night I get kinda short on options especially when I’m tired and wanting to go to wind down for bed. I can’t just ask them to not hang out with their friends from back home but I’ve got earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, and music going, and it’s still too loud in my room for me. I don’t know what to do without being mean
