However, to prevent the situation from escalating to the terrible outcomes that we see in the pictures, the late Fredric Neuman, M.D., who was the Director of the Anxiety and Phobia Center at White Plains Hospital, suggested people follow these rules.
Respect your roommate. It would be better if the two of you liked or even loved each other since living together puts a strain on even reasonable people. By respect, Neuman meant certain specific things, such as not eating the other person’s food unless you ask first, not borrowing clothes whenever you want, and not taking the possessions of the other person without asking first.
The wish to study or go to sleep takes precedence over someone else’s wish to play loud music or party — roommates should try their best not to wake each other up.
Follow through on financial commitments so that one roommate does not have to ask the other for rent or payment for other bills.
Chores should be done without having to be reminded.
Do not keep tabs on everything you do for your roommate with the expectation that every favor will be returned.
