I plan on ghosting my roommate/close friend because they treat me like garbage with their other friends, and walked away when I tried to speak with them about it/guilt-tripped me into apologizing. Problem is they might lose their dorm spot if I leave.

Ive been there, honestly its best to be "selfish" you cant put yourself through it again, but i think ghosting is a bad idea potentially. Unless you fr dont care then go for it

They don’t care about you. Actively dislike you, too, it seems. Would they do the same for you? Think about it, and if the answer is ‘probably not’, then you have your justification to leave them in the dust. Don’t waste your empathy on people who actively tear you down; it’ll only drain you.

Been there. I ended up dumping the entire friend group that I introduced

I’m not sure if this is the right move or not, living with them is hard: they don’t clean their side of the room at all and their stuff goes onto my side, they make snide remarks about my body, and whenever their friends are around they treat me differently..but I feel guilty if they had to live in another dorm.

I appreciate your reply (and the other ones too haha)! I questioned whether they liked me or not in the friendship a lot and found myself walking on eggshells. I ended up following through with ghosting, and I think it was the right decision too. Esp because when I did act more neutral and pulled back a bit after that convo, they started buying me things I never asked for out of nowhere and even offered me a full bottle of Bacardi..which kinda disturbed me a bit ngl. Ty for the advice! 😄

I hope you never have to deal with them again. They sound manipulative af—you just dodged a nuke, imo. Good luck with your next roommates!!
