I'm a college student and I live with my family. I was already tired of living with them in the past due to them constantly making noise, unexpectedly barging into my room, and doing small-talk with me whenever I left my room, but around one year ago, due to circumstances, my gen alpha brother had to move into my cramped room and now I share it with him, with just a thin curtain separating my side from his (I took the inner side).
I'm always hearing him voice chatting with his Discord groomers or watching a TikTok while hysterically laughing at it, and he has a habit of leaving the door open, which makes the noise from the other family members worse. And when someone in my family comes to my room to consult my brother, that's additional noise. Wearing noise cancelling headphones or whatever isn't a viable solution because I need to be alert of the surroundings due to how easy it is to sneak up on my side -- my brother actually somewhat respects my privacy and knocks on a piece of furniture if he wants to consult me, but my other family members just come in, which is facilitated by him leaving the door open. Aside from that, my space is live-in-the-pod-tier now, with my bed occupying over 50% of it.
It sucks enough to go to college, but it sucks even more to not have something to truly call "home" to come to. I almost wish my family knew how much it torments me to live like that, but they'd just think that I hate them or that I'm mentally unwell and need to see a psychiatrist or whatever. And besides, there's not much they could do -- the circumstances due to which I have to share my room are nearly non-negotiable, and it's not like they can change their personalities and stop being noisy. At most they could promise to make sure that I give permission before they come onto my side, but I can't even rely on that.
In terms of leaving their home, that would be hard to do. The housing situation is gigafucked and a part-time job could barely cover renting a room for myself, and if I were to share a room with a stranger, that wouldn't be much of an upgrade. I really have nowhere to go. I've been thinking of going on walks at evening during the "peak hours" of my household, but as you can imagine I'm not a fan of going outside, especially if I already spent most of my day outside (college), and I'm also afraid of one day being stabbed by a nigger when it's dark or something.
Is there anything I can do?
