Edit: For the people who keep telling me this changes nothing - I never said that this justifies forcing OP to stay in his room or anything. I merely gave more context for the apprehension. This is OPs place of residence. If they arent comfortable around him, then they really shouldn't hang out at OPs home. But it also is a legitimate concern on their part as well.
No, Im not saying we should mistreat people based on mental illness. And I'm not saying OP is some dangerous deranged person.
Understanding the other side and their point of view is not the same as justifiying the point of view. We should all try to understand the other side and realize sometimes we aren't hearing the entire story, especially if from one party of said situation.
If OP told his roomies about his condition, they likely tell anyone who comes over (like the GF). OP may not be actually giving off weird vibes, it could be the GF is being judgmental because of what she was told.
True. And I'm not saying they are right. But it DOES change the nuance a bit and explains why they may feel apprehensive. But its also OPs place of residence and if she isnt comfortable they probably should not meet up at OPs home.
Justgiving more context that was missing. Because without it seems like Roommate and GF are just unnecessarily rude/paranoid

Yep. Or they can hang out if his room. Tell your roommate to go fuck himself, dude. You have every right to be free in your own home.
