Moments when you feel stressed in a Share house

Living in a Share house has many potential causes of stress.

From here on, we will introduce six examples of moments when you actually feel stressed in a Share house, so check in advance to see how much stress you can tolerate yourself.

Part 1: There is less private space compared to living alone.

In a Share house, all the spaces except your own are shared, so other residents can spend their time as they please. In such a situation, it is not easy to secure your own private space and time.

If you have a lot of residents who are talking to you even when you want to relax by yourself, or who are surrounded by noisy people on days when you want to spend a quiet time, you may end up spending your days feeling uneasy.

Part 2: The speaking voice is too loud

Loud conversations and phone calls between tenants is another problem that can occur in Share house. Even if you have your own room, the walls of the room are often so thin that the sound can penetrate through them. Especially if you have a resident who makes loud noises until late at night, you will not be able to sleep well and will feel more stressed.

Part 3: Shared facilities are soiled

As mentioned earlier, the space other than your own room is shared by all residents.

Kitchens, toilets, and Bathroom are the most common areas, but some people don't clean them after using them. If you do something selfish, such as leaving the dishes unwashed, not cleaning them, or not throwing out the trash right away, you will be forced to clean up afterward, which can be extremely stressful.

Part 4: Use of shared facilities is restricted

It often happens that when you go to take a shower, it's already taken, or that you take your time in the bathroom and then you're rushed. Not being able to use the equipment you want immediately and in the way you want can be inconvenient and stressful.

Also, if the internet line is shared by the entire Share house, the line speed will be slow during times when there are many users, so people who enjoy online games may feel more stressed.

Part 5: Losing your belongings

In a Share house, it's easy to think that things in the shared space belong to everyone, so it's best to avoid leaving your belongings in the shared space as much as possible. If you leave your personal belongings in the Living room, someone might take them. Additionally, food that has been kept in the refrigerator may end up being thrown away or even eaten.

Although it is very rare, there are some people who steal on purpose, so even if you live in a Share house, you have to be careful and keep your guard up at all times, which can be a mental burden.

Part 6: You need to pay attention to your interpersonal relationships.

Since you will be living with other people, you need to be extremely careful when interacting with people in a Share house.

Even if you think, ``I don't get along with this person...'', as long as you're under the same roof, you have to make an effort to build a good relationship.

Even if you are not the one causing the problem, there is a good chance that you will get into trouble with another resident, be left out of the group, or be bullied. Living in such an environment is going to be stressful, whether you like it or not.

How to deal with stress in a Share house

As we have explained so far, there are many stressful situations in a Share house.

Of course, not all of the problems introduced above will necessarily occur, but it is always better to be prepared in case you actually encounter such a situation.

In order to deal with stress appropriately without worrying too much, try practicing the following three coping methods.

Idea 1: Make time for yourself

Stay in your room, temporarily cut off contact with the outside world, and make time for yourself.

If you listen to your favorite music or watch videos with earphones on, you won't be bothered by voices or other noises. If you don't have your own private room in a Share house, one idea is to evacuate to your parents' house, another friend's house, or a hotel.

Idea ② Lead a regular life

When your daily life is disrupted and you lack sleep, stress builds up and you end up feeling tired.
Setting a fixed bedtime and wake-up time and leading a regular daily life will naturally lead to a reduction in stress.

Also, if there are other residents living in the same life cycle, it may be a good idea to deepen your friendship by having meals together and have them help you maintain a regular lifestyle.

Idea 3: Go out and exercise in moderation

It is said that improving blood flow through moderate exercise and stretching can be effective in reducing stress.
It doesn't have to be an intense exercise, so you can start with simple things like stretching after taking a bath.
We also recommend taking a walk outside in addition to some light exercise, as this will give you a refreshing change of pace.

Idea ④ Discuss with tenants

If you want to resolve the root cause of stress, the best way to resolve it is to discuss it with the resident.

If you express your thoughts and opinions directly, the other person may understand. Also, if you listen to what the other person has to say at that time, you will be able to get rid of any lingering feelings and be able to go about your life the next day with a clearer mind.

If you want to continue living in a Share house for a long time, it's ideal to have a relationship where you can clearly communicate what you want to stop or what you're concerned about, so discussions are sometimes necessary.
