getting mad, that person might try to calm down, put himself in his’ roomate shoes
and behave reasonably. That leads to the conflict can be easier to solve. Besides,
each person has their own space, time and property. Waiting your turn to speak,
using private things with permission or caring less about personal issue is a way

thoughts, opinions and feelings so that they can know full well each other.
