Ever wondered how to establish dominance over your roommate? Well look no further, these are the best ways to become the alpha.

Firstly, ignore any and all attempts at communication from your roommate. Responding is a sign of weakness in this social hierarchy. If your roommate is asking you if they can borrow a pencil, what they’re really asking is if you’re willing to roll over on your back like a puppy at the mere simple request. Don’t fall into this trap. Say nothing in response — doing this over the course of the year will lead them to view you as the alpha.

Secondly, never organize or clean your area of the room. Cleaning up your belongings or even maintaining simple hygiene sends subliminal messages to your roommates that you feel the need to gain their approval. Don’t submit! Instead, be as messy as possible and completely disregard their comfort. 

Lastly, overstep your boundaries. Borrow their belongings, ignore their personal space and eat their food, all in order to prove that you aren’t afraid of them. They will admire this show of bravery, and you will have finally established dominance over your roommate.
