So I've been staying with my best friend and soon-to-be roommate since Saturday night. It was cool for a while but right now I kind of feel like a freeloading bum. This guy already pays for me every time we go out to eat because he's super rich and is like a Sim you used the money cheat on...but in addition to that he lent me this huge chunk of money when I fucked up with the bank so I wouldn't have to call my borderline mother.
So, first of all this is obscenely awkward because at 20 it's weird to depend on someone else for everything. He gets me up and then I have to ask him about what's happening for food (that's staying with someone else for you,) and chances are we're hungry at different times and that's awkward, and if I need to go anyplace I have to ask him to drive me (because this city is not very walkable) and that's awkward, and I have nowhere to put the like three outfits I brought with me in this place so everything's a mess on his mom's sewing table and THAT'S awkward, and then his parents have asked us to help with some chores (fine) and they're paying me, a guest, to help with chores and as much as I appreciate it, they helped pay for my first rent and bought us cable and have paid for enough else that I feel like I should just wash the frickin windows for free and now I feel like a conniver and so THAT'S awkward. And then feeling awkward about insanely generous hospitality makes me feel like a douchebag, so that's awkward.
Also I think he's a bit more willing to take his time moving into the apartment because this is his house, meaning he can masturbate here. All of my toys are at the apartment we're moving into and even if they weren't I can't exactly masturbate here because first of all: rude sauce and second of all, I mean yes his family is probably rich enough to have flood insurance despite living in Minnesota but GEEZ. That would really be awkward.
I took a nap today at the apartment while waiting for the cable guy and I was so tempted to be like "NO NAP, COVERT SELF-STIMULATION" but I was seriously freaking tired. I woke up early to talk to another astral rape survivor (first one I've found who actually wants to talk) via phone, to prove to her that I'm real. It's weird knowing someone else has had that experience though I think she went through way worse than what I am, especially because I'm technically "free" at this point, knock on hospitably placed makeshift nightstand wood.
Oh and here's just a general list of things I'm stressing about right now.
1.) I seem to be here for an indefinite amount of time and I don't have an indefinitely patient system...I've been here close to a week plus the hospitality, I'd feel less rude and freeloading if we just went home not that I don't like his parents and brother and cats but sheesh I feel like a freeloader.
2.) I have to submit this mess of therapist bill to my insurance which probably won't pay for 90% of it because the bill is HUGE. I think I'll probably tell the douchebag "good things wait man..."
3.) I have to fire the douchebag and I hate firing douchebags because douchebags always fail to realize they're douchebags and rearrange reality to make ME feel like a douchebag...it's sort of like breaking up with my girlfriend who was also a douchebag I technically had to "fire" except I wasn't paying her to be a douchebag so it's kind of different.
4.) My parents are being themselves.
5.) I want to find a new frickin job.

There is nothing more awkward than hospitality and nothing more guilt-tripping than feeling awkward about hospitality.

Well I hate being around people, and I'm not trying to be funny. I really despise people, especially happy people I don't trust them at all. Now being around nice happy people would make me paranoid as hell, I'd sleep with one eye open clutching a spork.
You should feel like a douchebag enough you will will continue to. Just think of all the people who wish they were in your situation, and there are those who would be taking supreme advantage of their hospitality, and you're not, for the most part, which still keeps you a good person.
Though you should already be aware of the awkwardness that comes with having a male roommate. Things like his hair in the sink, the toilet seat up and many uncomfortable things that guys do WILL happy purely on the fact that he's a guy :)
Personally, I don't want a roommate, I can't stand people and I hate guys even more. Even my best friends I would never room with, hell I have issues sharing a hotel room with a male friend because things guys do bother me that much.
Anyway, to get back on topic, try not to stress so much over having such an overly considerate friend. Unless you walk past hims shaving one morning and see his human face discarded on top of the hamper while plucks elongated martian eyebrows, you'll be okay. Besides, just think of that shiny Plumbob flash drive on your key chain, geek swag FTW.
