It’s fine when you’re a kid, but as an adult people won’t realize your shy. you’ll Come off as rude. you might hurt their feelings. My grandma told me this.
Many shy people have their condition from a fear of presenting badly.

A) I’m sorry that happened, that’s an insensitive thing to joke about and it reflects poorly on their character, I’m sure it sucked to hear. I know that having peace/civility with roommates is important, and that it can feel crappy to be the one that voices discomfort when everyone else seems okay with it.
B) You don’t have to go out of your way to address it, but if it comes up again, you can always say “I’m not comfortable talking about a classmate this way” — that isn’t a judgement about them, it’s just you announcing a personal choice. The lever of social shame should remind them that if you’re uncomfortable with it, maybe they should be as well. But also, it’s okay if you’re not comfortable saying that— you aren’t responsible for reminding other people to be kind, and it’s okay to choose your battles in a shared living space.

Not in the sense where you do dumb shit and disturb people and things and have absolute zero shame. But just not shaming yourself into not trying things or doing things because you fear judgement and embarrassment.
We’ve integrated being ashamed into our consciousness over the darndiest littlest things. No more shame for goofing up when learning something new or waving to someone accidentally. Take it with stride. Just laugh at yourself once in a while… it makes a good story.

1939-1941 NYC attempted to photograph every building in all 5 Burroughs.
very striking to me is the lack of plastic, there are wooden crates, pallets and barrels instead. There are NO TREES on streets or in the park nearest me. And there’s not a lot of garbage on the ground.

Plastic melts, ok?? if You’re exposed to fire your clothes will melt onto your FLESH. If you survive They will have to pick and peel the plastic off of you before they can graft.
