My roommate can get moody at unexpected moments. For instance, last night she was very quiet and when I asked some simple questions/comments, she was a little reserved in her answers. I thought that she may have been mad at me because I did not go to dinner with her last night because I did not feel like it. As we were getting ready for bed, I asked her if anything was wrong and she said, a little rudely, “I just don’t feel well, you gotta know that I do not feel well a lot of times!” She has a little health problem. However, it’s not like I can read her mind and I did not know that last night she was not feeling well. Any advice on how to handle this situation? Should I talk to her about the situation or just give her some space?
Give her space. Pick her some flowers or bring her some of her favorite food. Either tell her that you’re there if she ever wants to talk or write it in a note. Expect no response in return but know that you reached out.
