Alright, so I'd like the honest opinion of at least four of five people.
Tell me what you would do in this scenario:
You're living in a dormitory, in a single room. One day, you hear a knock on your door - it's the girl living next door to you. She introduces herself and asks if she can speak with you for a few minutes. She says:
"Hi, my name is Suzanne. I was wondering if I could speak to you for a few minutes?
The reason I have a single room is because I have a hearing disorder called misophonia. The best way to explain I can explain it is that I am very sensitive to sound - any sound, really, from people talking to watching television, people chewing gum, eating, using silverware and plates.
In order to study and sleep, I need silence. Unfortunately, due to the position of my room, that's very difficult for me. While the person next door to me might be watching TV very softly, if I can hear it even slightly, I get upset. I don't think my neighbor makes more noise than anyone else on the floor, but even that little amount of noise bothers me. I can't focus - at all. Any bump or movement coming from another room or in the halls makes me anxious.
I was wondering if you would take some time to consider the possibility of switching rooms with me. Your room, compared to mine, is very isolated from any extraneous noise. I can hear your television when I'm in the halls, but not when I'm in my room - that's how thick the wall is between your room and my room.
I know that moving out of one room and into another would take some time and a lot of energy - I'm willing to pay you for your trouble. It's okay to say no - I completely understand. It would be great if you would consider it, though."
. . .
So what would you do, guys? D:

Some people just aren't nice, especially if they don't really know the person, while we're all generally supportive and know you pretty well. *resumes painstaking avoidance of thread*

Inspect it for any holes in the walls, noisy areas, creaky doors, broken windows, leaky faucets, loose floorboards, broken electrical sockets, mold spores, broken phone plugs, etc. If it looks alright, proceed with caution.

O_o And I agree as well. But I probably would have said no. The reason being is that, if you're coming to me asking to swap rooms due to noise and you're telling me my room is more quiet, I wouldn't see no reason to change. I prefer peace and quiet too.

So I'd like her opinion. Sushi - I've been in that room before (my friend lived there last year). It's not bad at all. xD And anything would be better than this. RiRi - telling me what you think WOULD help. I'm not looking for people to build me up to ask this. I'm looking to see all possible outcomes. I'll be talking to my therapist and bringing up these different issues on Tuesday.

Yeah, that was my original thought. My counselor pointed out to me, though, that what I might consider to be obnoxiously noisy probably isn't to everyone else. This is something I'm going to bring up again, though. You said it better than I did, anyway.

@Cleo: I'd probably ask to be in the room while your neighbor was watching t.v. or something to determine if it was tolerable. If it was I would probably switch rooms with you if it wasn't too inconvenient.

@ Cleo: If the noise is really bothering you that much and you believe that switching rooms with her would be beneficial, then it is worth a try. The worst that can happen, really, is that she will say no or not listen to your explanation. However, I would think most people living in dorms would be courteous enough to spare a few minutes for a neighbour they have never spoken to. Or at least that has been my experience with dorm neighbours.
@ Kam: I know the feeling. Being gone from the familiar is hard, but in the end, if you think there is nothing left for you there and something for you elsewhere, you'd probably be happier away from a familiar home.

I'd at least consider it, but I don't know. I use a white noise machine to sleep because I can't stand sounds while I'm trying to sleep, so I'd probably just be like "She says my room is quieter? Scooore!" XD
But when you're living in a dorm, you're expecting to pack up all your s**t at the end of the semester anyway, so it probably wouldn't be a HUGE deal to do that, especially if you're being paid for it. If I tested out your room and it didn't seem any worse, I might consider it...

We triumphed with flying colors in our player versus player match this week in the tournament.
15 to 3
The match didn't take long, at least, the one my ship qualified to be in. Being a Warship, I didn't participate in the Battleship match.
But flying with a whole team (who I don't even know, btw, they just looked me up and saw my kill/death ratio is obnoxiously good and I did fly with their leader once in a random match) is kinda strange, since I basically just soloed through this game like I did in Zomg so all my strategies are completely different and I'm also not used to having people at my back.
They operate over skype and pretty much all I said the whole match was "Yeah", "nope" or "ouch". xd

CleoSombra The reason I have a single room is because I have a hearing disorder called misophonia. The best way to explain I can explain it is that I am very sensitive to sound - any sound, really, from people talking to watching television, people chewing gum, eating, using silverware and plates. Add a bit more to this. Like how you're always wearing earplugs. How noise canceling headphones don't help. That sorta thing. From just what you have there, the other person can't really tell how badly you're affected by this.
