Type my "difficult" roommate
How to describe the indescribable? He's incredibly loud. Can't stop talking for five seconds. He even talks to me when I'm in my room or in the bathroom. Even when you're five feet away from him he practically shouts to make sure you hear him. And he makes you confirm every statement he makes, always looking for agreement so it's impossible to just ignore him. If you just nod or don't say anything he will say "Right?" or "You know what I'm saying?" and he always expects you to respond, it's never rhetorical.
He talks to pretty much everyone around him like they're retarded though he's half illiterate himself. He's always talking down to me and straight-up calling me stupid and yet he'll ask me for help with simple shit (spelling, filling out forms, elementary school level math, programming remotes, downloading things, etc. He kinda treats me like his secretary actually. He will jokingly call me Siri when I bring this up.) He won't look anything up either. He says he doesn't trust the internet. He literally thinks he's smarter than the internet. We get in arguments all the time. I'll just look it up and he will say "You can't trust everything you read on the internet." and still think he's right. He's really stubborn.
He is so dramatic. Always complaining about something or acting like his life is more difficult than others'. He also likes to tell everyone how busy he is when he has less going on than anyone I've ever met. He'll claim he's busy because he has a court date in three months or because he drops his sister off at school once a week or because he has laundry to do. And he's always claiming he never gets a day off when a look at the schedule or his paycheck can easily prove otherwise. He has no concept of time, he wildly exaggerates everything, but especially time. He'll claim he only got an hour of sleep even when I've walked past his room and seen him snoring and drooling with his hand down his pants for several hours. (Yeah, he sleeps with the door open. I think it's so if anything happens in the house he won't miss it. He only closes the door when he's mad at me. Which is pretty often. Oddly enough, he loves to give the silent treatment. The only way to make him quiet is to piss him off. He can be very passive aggressive, and he's proud of it.)
There's some of his bad qualities. I won't even go into household disputes. That could be a novel. He also has many good qualities. Despite being an ex-tweaker, I trust him pretty much 100%. I leave my money out around him, he's never paid rent late, he knows a lot of my login information, etc. Probably stupid of me but whatever. He has a strong sense of integrity.
He calls his dad a few times a week and really really loves him and appreciates everything he's done for him, particularly because he was adopted and he was there when he was on drugs and in jail and still accepts him (I should also say my roommate is very judgmental of people who are on hard drugs now even though he's been there himself). He thinks so highly of him. It's kind of adorable. He isn't really allowed to see him for reasons. This kills him inside, I can tell. Like, he has shed tears over his father who has health problems. I've seen it. He's also highly protective over his little sister. And he desperately wants kids of his own, or even to be a stepdad. He's the only dude I've ever met who considers a woman having kids a positive thing. He wants to come along and be some girl's savior and take care of her and her kids. Which I find very bizarre, but interesting and almost charming. But he is also a misogynist and doesn't realize it, so whatever.
We work together too, which makes our relationship even more difficult. But I must say he works his ass off, like to the point where he is sweating and red faced. He's constantly burning himself because he moves so quickly. Any time there is some sort of competition or standard we're supposed to meet he will go to the ends of the earth to meet that goal. He almost cares so much it's annoying, but I definitely respect him for it. At the same time though, I've known a lot of people like him who work really hard for a while and quickly burn themselves out and will inevitably walk out of there in a rage one day because they're not being appreciated enough. Usually those people have worked pretty much everywhere. That is true of him. He is a bit of a job hopper, not always by choice.
Is this what a dominant SEE looks like? The SEEs I know are usually pretty laid back. He is Choleric to the core. Could he be EIE? Help! Oh and if you want a visual, he looks and acts a lot like J-Roc from the Trailer Park Boys (superficially), but more in your face. He does not like this comparison lol.
