There has been a lot of recent drama in my apartment, one of the main reasons for this seems to be a lack of communication. It is really hard to talk honestly with the people in your life and especially in your home. If you are like any other girl you know it is hard to deal with confrontation, but that often leads to negative ways of dealing with the problems. I've found that girls will be so scared to talk to the person they're having a problem with they will talk to everyone else. This of course leads to far more problems than if you had just talked to them in the first place.
The best thing and often the most difficult is to just talk to the person you are having a problem with. Try as hard as possible not to talk to mutual friends about the problems you are having with them. It is really hard to let things fester inside you and not talk about them, which is why it becomes so easy to to talk to others about it, but it is really unhelpful in the end. I have overheard things said about me as well as said things about others and I know it doesn't lead to anything good.
If you are in a situation that is really bothering you, try to gather your thoughts to yourself and figure out what is the root of the problem. Once you find out what it is that's truly bothering you try to come up with the best possible way to talk about it. Have a time to sit down with them and talk things out, but the most important thing is to be completely honest! If you are not honest, you will not feel better or fix anything.
Take a breath, find yourself, and be honest with others and yourself.
