Let us know who you would or wouldn't (or do or don't) enjoy sharing with and why:
- Here is a video of one girl putting down her the people she shares a flat with. Do you feel the same about your family?
- Let us know who you would or who you wouldn't share with and why. Which habits or personality traits would you enjoy and which would drive you round the bend?
Remember - you don't necessarily need to mention names and, above all, keep your comments in good taste; this blog is an extension of class.
I wouldn't like to share a flat with a very dependant person, because I like being with other people, but I also need my private time. I can easily do things alone and sometimes I need to do so. That is why I wouldn't enjoy living with someone that always needs somebody to do his/her things.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, I probably also wouldn't like the flatmate mentioned in the video, as having a perfect order is nearly impossible or really tiring. Nevertheless, I wouldn't like the total opposite, as having a stinking home isn't very attractive.
However, I'm willing to try all the other possible combinations. I know how my friends are, but not living with them.
Somehow, the flatmate from the video remembers me of my mother, as they both are anal-retentive, although my mother is worse.
I am an independent person and I wouldn't like to share a flat with somebody else because I like to have my one space and do what I want when ever I like to. However, living with somebody else is more interesting because you can talk to that person when you are bored and you don't feel lonely, but it can really be a pain if the other person is too different from you because that can cause lots of arguments. I'm a very organized person and I wouldn't like having someone disorganized and messy so I think I wouldn't mind living with the girl mentioned on the video although it would sometimes be a little stressful, therefore I would neither mind living with any of my friends because they are quite similar to me and so it wouldn't cause any problems. Finally, the girl in the video very similar to my mother but not so exaggerated so I would be accustomed to live with someone like her.

I totally agree with the girl un the video about that sometimes eventhough you really like the way someone is living with him is a different thing. As she says you can really get on with someone but then when living together the realtion can vary completely.
ReplyDeleteLiving with someone can either be hell or heaven. It depends on various things, I wrote down five:
On the fist place the personality you and your flatmate have; if you don't get on together you probably won't be able to look at each other at home and will start hating more reciprocally, although as we accorded before going on well together is not all.
Secondly it also depends in the way your parents and you used to live when you grew up. How you where educated to behave home.
Somehowe sometimes we have to put a special effort on accepting and dealing with special aspects of certain flatmates, however difficult it can be done. (For example someone wants to live with a snake, and the flatmate doesn't, they must deal with the problem and conlude in a decision in which both sacrifice something so that the other is happy).
Moreover your way of being plays a vital paper. You must try and respect others living space and not try an intrude it by any kind of mean. For example if you are really disorganized and filthy you must try to control yourself and behave, therefore you wont disturb (at least) massively flat mates.
However I still have a last but not least factor
which is being minimally tolerant with companions. Using the same example if the flatmate of the disorganized person is a really scrupulous one he must learn to tolerate minimally his disorganisement (as long as the third him about him trying to improve his errors is carried out).
I believe anyone could live with anyone if they both put some of their part.
If this 5 things were taken as roules I consider I would have little problems with whatever flatmate.

I am a tidy person so I would like to live with someone who is tidy too, I hate having everything thrown around the room and most of all I could never stand a dirty flatmate. I am not obsessed with having everything always in its place but I do think that it is important to have some order, especially if you are not living alone.
ReplyDeleteMy perfect flatmate would be someone funny and amusing, but at the same time someone responsible and in whom I could count on, someone that could understand and respect that sometimes you need some space and peace. Therefore, I would want to share my flat with a really close friend of mine, in whom I could trust and tell her whenever something bothered me, and who would trust me too.
However, the girl described in the video is too much of a maniac! Definitely I wouldn’t like to share my flat with her.
