How do I get this girl to shut up?!?

I should say how do WE get her to shut up, because I'm definitely not the only one being driven crazy by it. Normally I would just ignore her phone calls but there's a problem... I live with her. She is my suitemate, and we share a bathroom, which is basically half my livable space in my tiny dorm, so there's really no getting around seeing her.

Everytime she sees me or my roommate or her roommate or any girl on our hall for that matter, she starts in on talking about her lameass love life. And to make it worse, she is completely pathetic so I find it really hard not to laugh at the things she's saying. Everytime she meets a guy, she tells us about how she sleeps with them immediately (why admit that, hell, why would you DO that?). A few days later she's in tears telling us how this guy she was starting to fall in love with (her relationships last 2 weeks tops) dumped her because he just wasn't ready for a relationship.

We all try our best to avoid her and hint to her that we

absolutely do not care.. by rolling her eyes, cutting her off, walking out of the room and shutting the door behind us when she's in the middle of a sentence, but she still won't shut up!! At first I tried to be nice about it, but now I've gotten to the point of being all out rude to her to try to get her to stop, which makes me feel really bad because I'm honestly not a rude person. And she's a really emotionally fragile and needy girl (obviously), so I don't think telling her is an option. We talked about writing her an anonymous letter, but that would be so mean! Plus it's be easy for her to narrow it down to about 5 girls who might've written it.

I've gotten to the point that I'd rather drive an hour to go to my hometown and night, and wake up at 5 AM to drive all the way back to class in the morning than risk being forced to have a "conversation" with her. I've faked being on the phone for almost 20 minutes one time but she just sat on my bed and waited...

What do I do??

Tell her nicely that you do not have time to listen to her right now. Unfortunately, you will be bothered by these kinds of people forever. I used to work with one.

I sympathize with you. I had a similar problem and it's hard to do, but you need to tell her directly!

This should not affect your life so greatly. You should be able to enjoy your time at school.

Just tell her. It might even help her to become stronger in the end and you might even become friends with her(when she stops being mental of course)

Just tell her that you're late for something ALL THE TIME and see if she gets the hint. Otherwise, you and the other girls on your hall could tell her that you really aren't interested. If you can work out a way of saying "shut up" without sounding mean, that should work...

Sit down with her and tell her that you do care about her as a suite-mate but you are sick and tired of hearing about her love-life (or lack thereof). Ask her to please talk about something else from now on. If she really needs help, offer to help her find a counselor-- not the two of you.
