Hi anon. This is definitely similar to things we’ve experienced in the past. It can be really difficult co-fronting with someone and being privy to all their thoughts.
The best advice I have for you is to work on developing mental barriers so that you don’t hear one another.
There are lots of tips and guides for how best to do this, depending on whether your beliefs fall more in the psychological or esoteric. If you’re open to a bit of woo woo magic, you can look into mental ‘shielding’ techniques which might be helpful for you.
It’s pretty clear from what you say that your system mate isn’t trying to harm you, and you’re doing your best to get along. I am sure things will work out okay for you, because you are doing your best to help one another and communicate.
