Thanks for the validation, y'all.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them
smonster you are not unreasonable AT ALL. I'm an introvert and I like my privacy (worst punishment ever was when Mom took down my bedroom door for slamming it too many times and wouldn't let me put up a curtain).
In your roommate's situation I would either 1) go out get a tension rod and put up an insulated curtain and/or find a privacy screen to put up or 2) Not move into a house with no door between my bedroom and the kitchen.

eta: your existence is a pleasure; ignore the stupid people.
Toddson is very, very right.
Your roommate is being unreasonable.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm actually having an anxiety attack about this and feel like I might cry.
Uh-uh... you should not be the one feeling anxious. There's a) being an introvert and understanding what's needed to keep the wolves at bay and b) there's unreasonable sense of entitlement and using the introversion as an excuse.
How many of us vote 'b'?

Seriously! Being an introvert is no excuse for being a bitch. Sorry this is causing you anxiety rather than anger. She sounds like someone who hasn't been told "no" enough.
Also, wasn't this your place that she moved into?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
smonster, your roommate needs a reality check, preferably drawn on her entitlement fund. She might be going through a tough time, but that doesn't make it okay for her to tell you you can't eat in your own kitchen. If the presence of another human bothers her, she needs to find a place where she can live alone.

Ding ding ding!
I'm sorry about the anxiety attack, smonster. Here, let me distract you: I had a dream the other night that you, me, and Juliana were getting all fancied up to go out for the evening, and Cass was supposed to show up at any moment. It was a pretty nice dream.

Aw.
I'm going to stop and buy a tension rod and curtains on the way home.
