writes: I am in my mid twenties and living at home..it has always been somewhat stressful though..the apartment is too small at times and my parents can get loud. Sometimes things are such a big issue and stupid arguments happen and the walls are thin. So i am sure people in the building hear..i know they can at times. I have my faults too because i get stressed out easily probably due to hearing this stuff at times and i can have a mouth as well.There was an issue here a little while ago..and they finally calmed down and went shopping. I am so glad to have alone time now. The doorbell rang and i just didn't want to answer it..i figured it was someone who forgot their keys again or a package. I just didnt want to be bothered. I guess they rang my neighbor upstairs who is old..and i heard her screaming down who is it..I just feel VERY embarrassed because knowing people in the building hear this stuff including my mouth--i avoid neighbors as much as i can. I actually look through the peephole when i go out to make sure no one is coming in or going..it is just embarrassing to see people knowing they heard this stuff and it happens often.So i made that lady go down the stairs because i was just too embarrased to run into her; i feel so bad but just couldnt bring myself to see her. I want to avoid people in this building as much as i can; i am more private and wish no one heard anything.Was I a bad person? I feel horrible but i avoid them as much as i can..even in the morning for work..if i hear people coming down..i wait and risk missing the bus in order to avoid them.Does anyone have any thoughts about whether i should feel guilty? thank you.

 Your not a bad person and you shouldnt feel guilty, every family has there issues and yes they are behind closed doors so nobody should really know your business but you, but hey we all get heated and have arguments so try and not let it stress you out, it sounds like you take what other people think way to seriously, start talking to your neighbours in small steps they probably arent all judgemental and through time your worries will fade, just take small steps and if things get worse maybe you could rent out your own we apartment as it sounds like you need your own space.
