Having a roommate or living with the person you love can be great, but not if they've done something you want to ignore them for. Whatever the reason for ignoring the person you live with, know that you can do it without being cruel or ridiculous!
Steps
Method 1 of 5: Explain What You Are Doing
Step 1. Decide how long to ignore this person
In many cases you cannot move, but it is very difficult to ignore the person you live with for more than a few hours or a few days. If you are going to do it for a longer period of time then you must really want to ignore it - as if it doesn't exist.
Step 2. You must tell the other person that you are going to ignore them
Now, it might seem counterintuitive, but based on who you're ignoring it, it might be a good method. It might work for you. T.
- For example, if the person in question knows that you are ignoring them, they may try to do something to correct their mistakes. This might solve the problem you have.
- He may even decide to follow your example and reciprocate the indifference. In this case you will find it much less difficult to ignore it.
Method 2 of 5: Create Distinct Spaces
Step 1. Organize separate physical spaces
Think about how you are going to ignore your roommate. Can you use different bathrooms? Do you know which room it will be in on certain days and can you avoid it? P.
Step 2. Create a physical division
If you share a very small room or apartment, it may be the only possible solution. You can use duct tape or a room divider to create a distinct border in your living space. For this to work, your roommate has to ignore you too.
Step 3. Distribute distractions around the house
When the person you're ignoring tries to force you out of your isolation, you can grab a book, turn on the TV, or put on headphones to listen to music.
Method 3 of 5: Use the routine to ignore each other
Step 1. If you share a bathroom, get up at different times
While the other person is in the bathroom brushing their teeth, you can continue to sleep or have breakfast. or
Step 2. Don't spend time around the person you are ignoring
If he sits in the same room as you are, get up and go somewhere else.
Step 3. Make everyday conversations undesirable
Don't strike up a conversation with the other person. Don't look at it. By avoiding conversations without being rude the other person cannot accuse you of anything or talk to someone else about the situation because technically you are not ignoring them. However, he will understand that you are doing it instead.
- When he talks to you, respond in a short and polite way. This will kill any attempted conversation by the other person in the bud.
- When the other person talks to you, don't look them in the eye, stare at a point on their forehead. This intimidates the other on a subconscious level.
- When speaking, make sure your body and shoulders are not directly facing the other person. Face slightly to the side. This way the other person will subconsciously perceive that you are not focusing on them and are not giving them your full attention.
Method 4 of 5: Find Your Space
Step 1. Try to be alone somewhere
Go to the bathroom, your room or go out. When you are alone, you can stop ignoring this person and work on step 2.
Step 2. Exit
Sometimes, you just need to disconnect. Here are some tips:
- Go somewhere where you can feel comfortable on your own, like a cafe or a shopping mall. L
- Call a friend. Haven't you seen anyone in a while? You can reconnect with someone you want to spend time with. Additionally, you could also talk to her about the situation with the person you're ignoring at home.
Method 5 of 5: Put the stakes back
Step 1. Find a broker
If the person you're ignoring asks you a question or tries to talk to you, get another roommate to answer for you.
Step 2. If you have to avoid this person for more than a week, you have a serious problem that cannot be solved easily
If you cannot speak civilly, try to find a mediator to help you - a trusted friend, family member or counselor. If your situation does not improve, one of you will probably have to move elsewhere.
Advice
- Avoid eye contact.
- If the other person tries to talk to you, pretend you can't hear them and walk away.
- If the apartment is large enough, make it clear that the space is divided into two distinct parts to make sure privacy and indifference work well. THE
- If certain communications are unavoidable, use notes, SMS or messages on social networks. They create a barrier and do not allow the other person to speak to you for quite an extended period of time.
