There will always be a fun and exciting feeling when you live with other people. Of course, you get to encounter new faces with different personalities. And if you are not used to living with strangers under one roof, then can be an overwhelming experience for you. But taking it on a brighter side, this will give you an opportunity to be matured enough as you live with them day by day.
Whether you are living in Park Point Residences or any other real estate in the Philippines, there is a need for you to know what and what not to do when it comes to living in a shared home. With this, you will be able to have an idea on what you should do to live a peaceful and satisfying life with your housemates.
Do not expect to be friends with everyone
While it is important that being friendly is a must for us to consider, but there are just some people who chose to stay silent and live their life privately. This approach may be rude to you, but you have to respect the way they want to live their lives. Of course, you do not want to interfere with anything that involves their private lives, right? That means, you also have to set boundaries to the people who wants to own their privacy. But that does not mean that you are going to unfriend them since they are not friendly enough towards you. Again, do not expect anything towards the people who are encountering with every single day.
Clean up after yourself, and occasionally after other people too
Obviously, it is our responsibility to clean up after ourselves. If we use the bathroom, you have to make sure that the bathroom is clean for the next person to use. Of course, you do not want to use dirty bathrooms, right? That is why cleaning it every after you use is a must. And not just with the bathroom, but with the other rooms in the house at as well. When you maintain the cleanliness around the house, you will be able to experience a healthy living around your home.
Be aware that everyone can hear you
One of the things you should know is that there are so many eyes and ears inside your home. Although your housemates may be friendly and nice towards you, there is still a need for you to be careful on the things you say towards them. You have to know that they are still a stranger to you when it comes to that kind of matter. That means you have to think twice or many times before you blurt out something that can offend someone. Of course, talking without even thinking about it is one of the many reasons as to why most people are caught into misunderstandings, or worst, fights.
Respect the difference between public and personal items
There's nothing more important than giving respect to your housemates. This is important if you want to be also respected. Of course, not just with the attitude you show to them, but also with the personal items they have. If you have something that you want to borrow, you have to ask permission first before using their personal belongings. With that, you are giving respect not just with the item, but with the owner as well. Moreover, you also have to know how to be polite when it comes to asking a particular thing, for as not to offend the owner of the item you want to borrow.
Bring up your pet peeves
Whether you realize it or not, we all have pet peeves. We have something that we hate, especially when it is not in line with our personality. Obviously, your roommates will not know anything about it if you do not open up with them. You have to let them know. In this case, they will have an idea on what things no to do to disappoint you, or you to them – vice versa. That is why you have to be mindful of the things you do towards them.
