Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : One of my roommates is addicted to TV; by addicted, I mean she will sit on there from 9 am - 9 pm on weekends, and as soon as she gets home from work it’s TV until bedtime. She gets angsty if she doesn’t get to watch at least a couple episodes a day. She tells me that TV is her “escape from reality” since her real life sucks.

I tell her that I’m concerned about her health and that she should go and do something else just for a little bit like you know, clean the apartment you share with 3 other girls (me and the two other girls are the only ones who clean, she has never touched cleaning supplies during the entire two years I’ve lived with her).

She responds that she would go out and hang out with friends, but I never want to. I ask her, “why don’t you go out by yourself?” Her response is that she’s awkward and can’t talk when she’s by herself. Tbh, if I were to go with her, I’d be doing 90% of the socializing anyways. 

I try and tell her she needs to push herself out of her comfort zone, don’t rely on me. I’m sorry I’m not the “go out and party” type. I go home a lot on the weekends, and I often go visit my boyfriend, so she’s alone and “forced to watch TV all day.”

As a result of being “confined” in the apartment everyday, she has no interaction with boys, and complains that she wants a boyfriend. I encourage her to get bumble, tinder, go outside and talk, but she’s not having it. I’m guessing she randomly wants a hot stranger to come up and talk to her?

She is a little clingy and overbearing, and sometimes I try to keep her company while she watches TV because I feel bad if she’s just sitting there all alone. I’ll do my work on my laptop while a show is on, or I’ll get up randomly during the show to clean dishes or something.

But anyways, it’s my fault apparently that she doesn’t have a lot of friends or a boyfriend, and it’s my fault that we never go out since once I get home from work, I want to relax a bit and clean the mess that accumulates around the apartment. 

Am I the asshole for not wanting to hang out with her more and getting her to socialize with others? I feel like I could be doing more to get her out into the real world, but I have my own shit to do and other friends and family to be with as well.
