- Anyone here based in australia that use flatmates in particular and get sooo many people on there that dont even reply to your messeges !
I really dont care what you have going on at the end od the day there are 24 hours in a day and it takes litrelly 2 seconds out of your day to shoot someone a messege back . Its not hard !!! I think people forget it can be really hard and exausting putting yourself out there these days . I would let it go for maybe a day but if your on socials and sitting there for days on end ignoring peoples messeges its just rude . Looking for a house is actually exausting , and a messege back even if we arent the right fit goes ALONG WAY . Like i dont get whats wrong with people its just not hard at all. Feeling really frustrated .

Hi.
It is a very hard lesson to learn in life that people dont do the same as we do in life.
For eg I am a kind person but people are not kind to me.
Acknowledging people may be who you are but others dont acknowledge the same as you.
The house person may have hundreds of replies to answer so learning to be aware of another persons situation helps you to stay calmer while your waiting.
Another real life situation for me is Im still waiting a text reply and its been 48 hours now.
So I trained myself over years to think she must be very busy.
I would shoot another message and say something like this
" Hello you probably been very busy and I can understand that. It not always easy to find the right person and you have many posts probably to get to. Im just shooting you another reply in case you never saw my original one and appreciate your time if you would respond when you find a moment.
Thank you
Kind Regards
( your name ) "
Doing this may put you back in control and ease frustration. It also shows you are not a pushy person while you really want to push a little. Also you show you are understanding to any of their problems and come off as someone considerate and be great to live with.
Even if no response comes this is how you respond in all your dealings with people. Many luck to you
