Just do gouache for now, it will build up your painting skills and transfers well to working in oils. Or open your window and get a fan to ensure ventilation then use oils and paint small.

At least you don't share a room

I don't get it. Why can't you paint?

>>3104228
I paint in my bedroom. I have the window open all the time and I don't use mineral spirits or turpentine. Sometimes I use Liquin but mostly just pure linseed oil. I keep all my liquid bottles in a plastic box and put any paintings I've worked on in another room, although at the moment I've got a few in my bedroom. All my rags go into a sealed plastic bin.

Where there is will, there is a way.

I live in a one room apt and I'm sitting 3 feet from the easel right now. But it is a hassle.

pro-tip: you can leave the house

there may even be a free art space somewhere near you, who knows

Look up odorless mineral spirits or water-soluble oils. (Or compromise with acrylics.)
