I moved into an apartment this past September with three other roommates. We each have our own bedrooms and bathrooms, and we all share a living room and a kitchen. I am not close with my roommates; One of them I have only seen a couple times and the other two I have never really talked to.

One of the roommates uses the kitchen for extended periods of time (starting from about 5 p.m. until 11 p.m.) They use it with friends and never seem to leave the kitchen/living space for several hours on end. It prohibits me from using the appliances in the kitchen (since they are using them, plus limited space) and even going out there. They are often playing music too.

I have not eaten dinner several nights just because people are constantly out there. I feel like there should be limited time in the kitchen so it is fair to everyone. I would talk to the roommates about this, but I am not social at all and it is hard to find a time to talk to them when they are alone (without their friends over). Plus, it's just awkward since I have probably talked to them only a couple times since September.
