Try to ignore it if all of the option fails .-.

#2507

invest in cheap noise cancelling heaphones/or just beat em up

#2508

ignore socail anxiety and tell them to stfu

#2509

Confrontation? Me? wheeze I have headphones on rn, but I could still hear them. IDK if they’re still studying

#2510

Is this the sort of thing where you could tell them to stop doing the thing if someone gave you a script for what to say, or is that not the sort of thing that would be helpful?

#2511

I don’t know, it’s getting close to finals week and I don’t want to interrupt anything, especially since my last legit human interaction on Monday made someone uncomfortable

#2512

Hey y’all sorry i’m trying to sleep, do you mind keeping it down a little more. Thank you.

Or just stay up until 3 am and pass out

#2513

I mean, if you’re trying to sleep and they’re interfering with that, then that’s kind of on them to move unless you’ve for some reason decided to go to sleep in the middle of a group study space

#2514

or just take benadryl or sleeping pills

#2515

I have some melatonin, so uh…

#2516

polite script:

‘Hey guys, you’re being a little loud and I’m trying to get to sleep so that I’ll be able to focus on my finals tomorrow, is it possible that you could move somewhere else or try to be a little quieter? Thanks so much!’

medium script:
‘Hey, could you keep it down a bit? I’m trying to sleep and you’re being kind of loud.’

actively rude script (to be clear this isn’t a serious recommendation):

‘fuck off, I’m trying to sleep’

#2517

alternatively just incoherently screech and brandish knives.

should at least make them leave and you won’t have to actually talk to anyone.

this is the best option

One of them is one of my dorm mates, I can’t make her leave

#2519

Like your roommate, or like someone in the same hallway as you?

#2520

you could just ask to quiet it down a bit, that should be fine

#2521

Roommate

#2522

yeah i’d just go with melatonin if it’s too uncomfortable asking them to keep it down.

#2523

Polite script:

‘Hey, I have finals tomorrow so I was going to turn in a little early tonight. Is there any chance you could try to keep the volume down so that I can sleep? Thanks!’

Medium script:

‘Alright, I’m going to sleep now, anything you need to take care of before I do that or am I good to turn off the light?’

Actively-rude script:

‘shut up, I need to sleep’

#2524

I know I should tell them to quiet it down, but then again, I suck at speaking to others. I’m always going to fuck it up somehow

#2525

write it on a piece of paper and slide it across the table as a power move like they do in movies.
