im in student dorms, i share my kitchen with 5 people, im good friends with 2, im normal room mate relationship with 2- i dont see them too often but when we see each other we chat, its fun conversations, we borow things from each other, its all cool. then i have my last room mate who i just do not like. the thing is, he is not a bad room mate. hes polite, well mannered, quiet, hes a normal guy. but i just do not like the guy. at all. as a result im very short in my interactions with him, i will greet him if i see him, sometimes i force myself to ask him about his day, but as much as i can i dont speak or interact with him or look in his general direction. he is friends with my friends, and when we are all togetheri will have fun with my friends and not interact with him. i feel bad, i know i am excluding him, but at the same time, i feel like i dont need to be friends with this guy just because of proximity. i feel bad, but eveyrtime i interact with him it feels like my life is draining out of me. but as a result i think im making his living situation sucky. i dont know what the social protocol is.

i think im a bad room mate because i actively pretend he is not there. were all guys but there is just something about this dude that i cannot stand. im the lion.

im in the middle of exam season and caffeine has stopped working for me, i am just as tired after 2 coffees or an energy drink as i would be without .

maybe my body has just gotten used to it, but are there any alternatives that can give me an energy boost/ make me less tired / help me focus ?
