Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My room has clothes all over the floor and random stuff scattered across most surfaces. It's not usually very tidy, although I clean up every couple weeks. Clutter stresses me out, but when it's my own, and I have control over when it gets cleaned, I don't mind as much.

I make an effort to be very concious of my messes in shared spaces. I'd never want my roommates to have to clean up after me or deal with dishes I left out, etc. So while my own space is a mess, I'm very neat outside of it.

My roommates are very messy and don't really make much of an effort to organize their stuff or clean up after themselves. We have cardboard boxes, grocery bags, and suitcases full of random craft supplies, costume pieces, collectives, etc in every corner of the living room and I'm getting tired of it. I've mentioned a few times that I'd really like to clear up some space or at least organize stuff and get it on shelves, in drawers, closets, etc, rather than sitting on the floor in bags. It feels like we're a couple stacks of newspapers away from being a hoarder's den.

I feel like a hypocrite for asking them to clean our shared space when my personal space is usually pretty messy. AITA?
