Jim(alias),one of my roomates,lives a messy and depraved life. Sometime he fights with the boys who are from the distance. And he doesn't have a bath for one time at all this whole winter.when we let him have a bath with us,he refuses us and becomes angry. when we offer our help or give him advice,he always takes it as a devil. His habits is to make things messy or at sixes and sevens in our dorm. My point is how should we communiate with Jim and how should we tolerate and respect him next? could you give us some advice? Thank you so much!

i think you guys should tell him what you guys think about him and talk to him very politely.Try not to make him angry.

I totally agree I think you should talk to him and tell him how you guys feel. Tell him he should clean up after himself, of course bathe that is kind of gross. I mean the way he acts also reflects on you guys.

Do you mean he has felt our sympathy? We do hope he can see our sympathy and desire to help him!

Well, people from different places, so they have their own habits. What we think are untolerable are matural to them. So don't be in a hurry to change that in a short time. Try to communicate with Jim, be friends, and let him know your feelings. Although it's difficult, be patient! Good luck!
