>move in with new roommates, first time ever living with some

You in college? Just finishing up my final year and i've been living in a 9 person house as an introvert, can definitley appreciate alone time now.

Yeah, and damn that sounds rough man. It's just 5 guys here, which is enough to throw me off.

How did your first few days living with them go? Any tips for going about it?

I'm going to be in this situation soon too since I'll only be able to work part time once college starts and the rent is $500 with utilities included for a room in a 3 bedroom house compared to $1000 after utilities for a 1 bedroom apartment.

It's a weird one because you feel inclined to participate in what everyone is up to in the fear of seeming like that guy who doesn't get involved. You can go about it two ways, decide to be extroverted for however long youre gonna be living there and get involved when you can, or do what I did and decide fuck it i'm paying my share for this living arrangement i'll chill when I want and hang when I want, your housemates will catch on to your preference eventually. By the sounds of it though you all stick to your rooms anyway so it doesn't really matter.

>should i introduce myself

Yeah, man. Just say "hey I'm anon" or something.

I can already feel that issue, like I just caved and smoked with the guys despite disliking it.

Have a feeling I'll do the latter route as well, like I just need me-time a lot. Is it like, assumed that I can just join in the hang-outs if everyone's out in the living room or some shit? I figure it depends but these guys are pretty chill and social

Best of luck man, same reason I'm doing it

So I just did that, yeah it worked out. Just kind of said hey and went about our business. No idea why I'm worrying about this stuff.

Bro its your living space too, if you wanna hang out in the living room you can, you seem chill, you'll be fine and be used to it in a few weeks.

Firstly, get this notion that you're intruding in your own house out of your mind completely. Second, YOU live there. Don't shy away from shit because people are over. If you bump into them say hi and continue with your shit. If your room-mates are cool they will usually introduce you to new people when you see them.

About getting along with room-mates. Best advice I can give is to grow a pair of balls and tell them if you have a problem with something. Don't get all passive aggressive. The kitchen is the your new social area, everyone has to eat and ppl love to chat shit while they make their food. If there are a few of them there, go there just to hang out. EVEN IF YOU AREN'T HUNGRY
