My roomates talk behind my back! How can I deal with this?

A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I live with 5 girls and 4 of them talk shit behind my back. We all know each other through a mutual friend who used to be my best friend until she really betrayed mw. She moved away and we had a falling out but the other girls worship the ground she walks on.

One of my roomates, who is best friends with her now, tells her about every move i make and we share a wall so she always listented in on my conversations with my now ex bf and reported it back to her friend!! They always stick their noses in my private life and then gossip about who I hooked up with!(i didnt hook up with anyone, but they assumed I did) I told them that if they are so interested, they should just ask me and not talk behind my back but now they are just more careful about it, like whispering and going outside to talk on the phone etc. I didnt do anything to them and have always been super nice! The only think I can think of is that I dont hang out with them because we have nothing in common. I have hung out with them before, and that was so uncomfortable so I just gave up.

I hate gossip in general, but it seems that that is all they do!! I guess their lives are so boring that they need to snoop around and talk about mine. Its so hard living with them because they are very loud, immature and gossipy (is that a word? lol) And I cant afford a place of my own so I usually try to get out of the house but its really hard escpecially at night. They are usually talking about "hollywood gossip" or something real "mature" like that and then get excited and scream about it at past midnight! I asked them nicely to keep it down but now they think im even more of a bitch! I have about 8 more months of living with them, how can I deal with all of that?

thatgothgirl20 agony auntMy roomates are about the same way (except for the excessively talking about me.) My best advice is just to ignore them. And if they think that you are mean for asking them to keep it down, it's their loss. This just shows that you are assertive. Play music, watch tv, whatever. Just ignore them. I'm assuming you have your own room, right?
