Am I allergic to my roommates? I sneeze a lot lately but only when they are in the same room as me. They smoke but outside and this sneezing thing hasn’t been til recently. There has been alot of gossip lately and I am trying to stay out of it but I am almost shunned for seeking privacy like it is not healthy to isolate. I feel bad enough venting about it and am worried about transference.
 
How long have you known them?
Have you always been close?
If you don’t smoke and they do the smoke on their clothes may be causing a problem. I think I you need to talk to them. If you are afraid bring a friend but clue them in first. Be up front and to the point. Tell them all the good things about them first…
 
Not long… and i feel instinctually like i am often asked questions to gain dominance over me rather than authentic interest. I am still learning discretion and a lot of this is less than ideal. I am just trying to go to school.
 
That stinks.so they are just mates at college?
You’re stuck with them? Are You from out of post, country?state?
 
Lol. I am local but pretty much. It is a cheap comfortable place to live til I get independent again. I am starting to get really selfish though and tired of being an arbiter or voice of reason here when all it gets me is survival and ridicule at the truth. They are not bad… it’s just I might have more experience than most and they are older so assumptions are made. I should be grateful I just don’t want to suffer as much cause I’ve had plenty on other occaisons elsewhere.

Yeah coming soon. Thank you for the sympathy. I will pray too.
 
Go see a scientifically-trained psychologist. They will help you sort out what is what and who is who. CAF is a good place to solicit prayers if you feel they help, but few of us are qualified to give advice on inter-personal relationships inducing physical symptoms and those who are will not give the advice here.
 
How is that relevant? I’m still mostly soliciting a spiritual response to the question otherwise I’d be elsewhere. And how is a shrink an ENT? I can’t help but find this kind of answer to be condescendingly patronizing and all too common on a forum that is supposed to specialize in theology. I have no interest in taking psychotropics or therapy because I doubt they would stop me from sneezing or people assuming I’m a doormat but thanks anyway.
 
Sorry my comment affected you in that way. The reason I suggested a psychologist is that you have a mixture of physical symptoms and social issues. Sorting that out will allow you to chase up appropriate general medical help. Alternatively you could begin with getting advice from your doctor. Your OP raises no issues of theology. A Saint, a sinner, an atheist, a baby, and adult could all have the symptoms you describe.
