1. Respect Each Other's Privacy
Everyone has personal relationships with family, friends, work, and love. Although living together gives you some insight into these relationships, it's important to respect each other's privacy. If someone wants to share or confide in you, they will. If not, don't pry into their personal matters. People have different thoughts and ways of handling situations, so avoid judging or gossiping about others simply because you don't like them. By respecting them, you'll earn their respect in return and maintain your own privacy as well.
2. Be Willing to Compromise and Assist Others
In every relationship, compromise is crucial, especially when personal benefits and interests are at odds. We often prioritize what's best for ourselves. However, true respect for a relationship requires compromise. It means balancing your own interests with those of others, without always demanding your way. Additionally, it's important to lend a helping hand when those around you are facing challenges.
3. Stand Firm in Your Beliefs and Principles
Setting personal boundaries and establishing clear principles with your dormmates is a great way to prevent disagreements later on. For instance, if you're someone who dislikes others touching your belongings, make that clear to your roommates from the start. When conflicts arise—whether related to living habits, cleanliness, or other matters—don't shy away from addressing them. It's better to voice your concerns and discuss solutions openly. Avoid silently tolerating behavior that bothers you, as some may not realize they're overstepping your boundaries. A person who is both friendly and has clear principles will earn respect and affection from others.
4. Remember, You're Not the Center of the Universe
Ironically, those who constantly worry and feel invisible often believe they are being watched, criticized, or ridiculed. Everyone has their own life to live, and they rarely have the time or energy to focus on your every move, even if you happen to make a mistake. Even if they notice, they will forget about it within hours, while you might hold on to it for years.
Letting go of the feeling that you're always being observed or judged can help you relax and feel more at ease around others. This way, you'll find it easier to blend in and be part of the group.
5. Learn to Embrace Differences
To get along with others, it's essential to understand that you can't change anyone except yourself. The root cause of most conflicts arises from the differences between individuals. Naturally, you may try to change others to behave the way you want. However, instead of trying to alter others, why not focus on learning to accept differing viewpoints?
Be open-minded and embrace diversity. Live your life in your own way while respecting the choices of others. This is the key to feeling comfortable and finding true happiness.
6. Biết mình biết ta, đừng quá khoe mẽ
Kín tiếng chưa bao giờ là chuyện thừa trong một tập thể. Bạn dùng loại mỹ phẩm gì? Mua những chiếc túi hiệu nào. Mặc đồ hãng đắt ra sao hay thậm chí là thời gian bạn dành cho việc học việc chơi là bao nhiêu thì cũng đừng khoe khoang tất cả cho mọi người biết.
Nên nhớ rằng ngoài bố mẹ ra thì không ai có hi vọng bạn có một cuộc sống tốt đẹp hơn họ. Đó là tâm lý chung, là sự ích kỷ của mỗi người ngay cả bản thân chúng ta cũng vậy. Có thể có người ngưỡng mộ hoặc có thể có thể là sự ghen tị, suy cho cùng giữ cho mình một cuộc sống riêng nhất định để bảo vệ bản thân là điều nên làm.
7. Follow Dormitory Rules
Each dormitory has its own set of rules, and it's important to follow them. For example, dorms usually open at 5 AM and close at 11 PM, so late-night returns are not allowed. If you repeatedly break these rules, you might lose your accommodation privileges. Since dormitories are shared living spaces, if you want to bring family or friends to visit, be sure to ask for permission from the management and security staff first. This is essential to maintain order and ensure everyone's safety.
8. Sống hòa đồng, vui vẻ
Mỗi người có mỗi tính cách khác nhau do đến từ những vùng miền khác nhau và được lớn lên trong những gia đình khác nhau. Nhưng bạn nên biết rằng khi đã sống chung với người khác trong một phòng thì cần phải sống một cách hòa hợp và vui vẻ. Bạn có thể không phải là người nói nhiều, cởi mở, nhưng sống hòa đồng không đòi hỏi bạn phải lúc nào cũng vui vẻ và cởi mở.
Sống hòa đồng là hòa mình vào cuộc sống chung với mọi người, mọi người có hỏi thăm hay quan tâm thì cũng nên lịch sự trả lời lại và hơn thế nữa là trò chuyện cùng bạn bè. Đừng tự tạo ra một khoảng cách riêng biệt và tự cho rằng mình khác biệt với mọi người.
9. Be Responsible
Being responsible means living with awareness, making good choices, and taking accountability for your actions. It also involves facing the mistakes you make. In a shared living space, tasks like cleaning or cooking are usually divided among everyone. Being responsible means completing your duties efficiently and thoroughly.
If you have personal matters to attend to, you must manage them so they don’t interfere with your shared responsibilities. This is a good way to avoid unnecessary conflicts, misunderstandings, and arguments.
10. Show Empathy and Share
No one expects you to understand everything and be empathetic towards everyone, but within certain limits, you should learn to put aside your ego and your personal interests to empathize with the circumstances of those you live with.
If someone is unable to complete their tasks on time due to urgent reasons, show understanding and avoid criticizing or complaining. Life is full of challenges, and everyone goes through tough times, including yourself. That’s why we need empathy and sharing in our lives.
