As hard as it is, try to gain the courage to have these conversations and learn how to set boundaries. For people who are more reserved, just calm down and breathe. Remember that you both are living in this area and you both have a responsibility to keep it clean. You addressing the problem is not demanding; it’s understandable.

And avoid addressing them over text, where things can easily come off as passive-aggressive and tone does not translate.
