V.A.L 500 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Most basic tips : -> Don't speak only of yourself, ask questions about the other person and show interest -> Smile -> As a housemate, tidy up and be clean For the rest, be yourself and that's it I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyungie 467 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Your ability and willingness to relate to others, whether you have experienced what they have or not. Being approachable and considerate. If you can show someone that they can be themselves around you, it will go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester 3,853 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Be kind, considerate, and respectful. Don't be afraid to be yourself either, the bottom line is to treat people the way you'd like to be treated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenee 3,730 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Some tips: - Greet people you know. Don't be one of these people who are too entitled to open their mouth. And most importantly, smile at them if you really like them. It makes a big difference. I am always happy when people smile at me first, it makes me feel that they appreciate me. I also like when I smile to someone and they smile back, it shows that the feeling is reciprocal. - Ask your roommate about their day and listen to them. Tell a story too. Just, communicate! Getting along with your roommate is the best feeling ever. I really like to share my day with my roommate. And the crush talks. And the midnight talks about 'philosophical' stuff. (Ok these last two can wait until you get close) - If you and your roommate study the same thing then try to study together. That's how my roommate and I got close at first. We weren't that close until the session. Then we started to ask each other 'Did you study this? Did you understand that? Can you explain to me! Let's ask each other questions!'. It helps with studying and bonding alike. There is a lot of stuff I learned from my roommate and vice versa. - Don't overreact over differing opinions. Tell your opinion, but in a diplomatic way. Other than that be clean and everything will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Quatro 1,441 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I think as long as you're someone educate and considerate you would be ok with most people. Aside from more specific details you just have to be yourself and confident about your own personality because if you try too hard to please everyone you're going to have the opposite effect. Someone that is concerned too much about liking others, and fit in a certain group, can come as someone fake without a personality; like if you didn't have thoughts or will of your own. It can be annoying and it's harder for people to trust you as they won't know how you truly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungkook � 990 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 don't be fake and be yourself! it sounds cliche but it'll make you and the people around you more comfortable too and be considerate with your housemate. if you wouldn't like them to do something to you, don't do it to them! and don't worry too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in good taste 213 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 this is an excerpt from a book by dale carnegie: The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say, "You're wrong." If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically. Begin in a friendly way. Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking. Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. Appeal to the nobler motives. Dramatize your ideas. Throw down a challenge.
