What type of roommate moves in with you barely talks to you unless you mention food and tells you to knock on their bedroom door if you have something

That’s the best kind! I have a roommate like that too, only he never speaks at all. He pays his rent through Cashapp and we literally never see each other or speak at all.

Perhaps it is someone who sees "being roommates" as nothing more than a financial arrangement.

They're just a roomate so try not to take it personally. As long as they pay rent, all is cool. You don't need to be friends (I've been in a similar situation before. Yeah, it sucks and all because you think "how come we live together but this person is so detached?" but you remind yourself that you're not dating them and don't really neeed them, so...

That's basically me

thats a NERDY MATE.. high intelligence but an introvert.. ,,,
deep thinking ,,not the flippant surface type party goer and time waster mate,

Thats the kind i need

a really good roommate

Thats exactly how I am when I rent a room.
I'm very organized, clean and pay my rent on time.

My room is My space and I enjoy my privacy and alone-time.
Had a landlord who just couldn't understand the dynamics and I ended up moving because of it.

A smart one

i had a good friend move in to my flat and never speak to me and stay in his room with his gf, it was awful, i now relaise he wasnt a friend at all

As long as their rent gets paid on time and they clean up after themselves, I wouldn't care if I ever saw them.

One that wants to be alone

A good one

shy, reserved, introvert, probably been hurt/screwed over by previous friends/ roommates

Some people are introverted to the point that they barely talk

Takes time sometimes...

Depressed?

YOUR roommate.

Was the person your close friend before they became your roommate ?

If it's your home, the main lease/mortgage holder, I'd say very rude, and deserving of eviction.
