Dealing with a difficult roommate can be both annoying and challenging. However, by becoming aware of the context of the situation, steps can be taken in order to improve the circumstance.

Identify the source of the problem. Sometimes, when someone is annoying, it is difficult to tell exactly which aspect of the situation is causing the anger. Therefore, it is important to find the one element that caused your anger to begin with.

Evaluate the source of the conflict. Is the conflict trivial, or is it serious ? Sometimes, people can become angry over things that seem like a big deal at the time, but when contemplated (深思), are really unimportant. Nevertheless, before any problem is dealt with, it is necessary to determine how serious it is.

Talk to the roommate about what is bothering you. Communication is very important when dealing with problems. The problems will only become worse if measures are taken without telling one another what is even wrong to begin with.

Listen to the explanation that the roommate has to over. Listening is also important when dealing with conflicts. Hearing each side of the story will make it easier to arrive at a possible solution.

Compromise with one another in order to form a solution. Sometimes, conflicts can be resolved simply by changing small occurrences.
