So, I don’t even know how to start with this, but I need to get it off my chest. My roommate is literally driving me insane, and it’s all because of these triplet girls on YouTube. If you’re not familiar with them, they’re these three sisters with big, curly hair who have a massive following. I honestly don’t know how my roommate got so hooked on them, but it’s gotten to a point where I’m starting to think she’s obsessed.
I left for the weekend to visit my boyfriend, and when I came back, I was immediately hit with the strangest vibe in our room. I’m not exaggerating when I say she’s basically turned her side of the room into some sort of shrine for these girls. There are, no joke, at least six huge posters of them all over her wall. And here’s the thing—it’s not like she even has curly hair herself. She’s got loose waves, and I don’t think she’s ever mentioned wanting curly hair before. But now? She’s got every curly hair product under the sun. I mean, she’s obsessed with finding dupes of the girls’ outfits and buying the exact same ones. It’s honestly getting creepy.
Like, I get it—people have their idols, and I’m not trying to judge anyone for liking someone on social media. But this feels like something more. I’ve never seen her so consumed by anything in my life. It’s like she’s trying to live through them or something, and I don’t know how to bring it up without sounding like I’m attacking her.
The thing is, it’s not just that she’s a fan. It’s the way it’s taken over her life. She watches every video they post, mimics their style, even tries to replicate their personalities. I get it’s cool to be inspired by someone, but I feel like this is crossing a line. I don’t know if she even realizes it, but it’s all she talks about now, and I can’t help but feel like I’m living with a stranger.
I’m trying to be patient, but it’s just getting too much for me. I don’t even know what to do. If I say something, will I sound like a total jerk? I just want my space back.
