I think it is hard for some people when they see no one else wearing masks, to go against the crowd. Which is actually one reason I continue to wear masks visibly in public places. Also COVID sucked and I don't want to do that again and we have no idea where we got it from. I'm just really glad I did NOT give it to my parents when I visited them for the holidays, which I actually put down pretty much 100% thanks to the fact that my very first symptom was losing my voice, so I kept my mouth shut. My memory was definitely negatively affected by COVID but seems to be gradually getting better. A lot more losing things that I just had in my hands, forgetting what I came in a room for, etc.

I'm sorry your roommate fails to adult. I think it can definitely feel, especially to those of us raised female in our society, like lack of care. Like, if someone in MY house was doing a bunch of stuff and I wasn't, I would feel guilty at least and probably check to see if there was some way I could help out, or make sure that there was nothing I should do that I hadn't, so seeing someone else not step up when I've been working my butt off feels like they are being deliberate assholes. But I think a lot of times, especially for those raised male, they haven't ever developed the capacity to even NOTICE it. I don't know if that's what's going on, but that's a thing I have experienced.
