Living with homophobic roommates

[Ander Tomsen]

Hello to everyone . I am currently in a work-and-travel program, which means i am working for three months in a foreign country and sharing an apartment with 4 other guys. The guys i was putted in a room with are straight ,but a bit homophobic since they found out i am gay. I am feeling weird around them, i am given side eyes constantly ,judgy looks and just negative energy overall. What can i do to make things more normal because i honestly can't take it anymore i am feeling really bad and also changing an apartment is not an option. They are all friends and i am alone. Maybe this is a weird post but yes, if someone has any advice on how i can deal with this, the stress or how to calm my mind and psyche or maybe tips for staying unbothered. Also maybe suggestions from some straight guys who might want to share their insight on the situation. Thank you upfront

How can they be your friends if they’re treating you like this?

No, they are friends; not his friends.

I feel bad for you. I don't even know what to say. Maybe just kinda ignore them, be nice and courteous. Kill them with kindness and act unbothered. Maybe it's because you're self-conscious about it why they respond to you like that. Sometimes we're the ones that set the tone for how people respond to us. So maybe if you lighten up a bit about the situation and crack a few jokes here and there and talk about normal stuff and play a few games together or something of the sort.

It is only three months, no?

Tension should pass as they realize you are not going to hit on them. Even if it doesn't you'll get used to it eventually. Try to keep contact to a minimum and focus on your work and nothing else.

Go spend some time outdoors everyday. Don't jerk off. Do something creative that you enjoy doing. Meditate to the extent you are able to. Do some physical activities. Connect to some people that you can talk with from time to time. Spend time accepting that they can't accept you for who you are. 

Don't be to overly suspicious of them also. There is a possibility that they are reflecting also and what they think might not be what you think they think.

Find friends outside of work to go out with that will accept you is what I'd say. It'll always be hard to make people accept you especially if they have an emotional bias about it.

@Ander Tomsen try not to be too feminine around them.

@Ander Tomsen try to stay down to earth on facts, stay more serious, don't be friends with them. have a respectful formal relationship. Don't show too much emotion. I believe this way maybe you'd get more respect from them.
Don't give them too much attention man stay alone in your comfort zone.
