Tough call - it's one reason why I hated living in student communes...I mean dorms. You'll have to play it by ear, you know? I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with you removing yourself from a situation to go do something...but do you not have any control over them being in your room? Are you in a suite or something? I'd probably put up with a little bit of shit-talking, and at some point I'd calmly tell them to (in essence) shut the fuck up. I'm tired of hearing about it, it's obviously not something I find important enough to get upset about, but it sure as hell is annoying. If these guys aren't players themselves, you might ask them if it's funner to criticize from the sidelines instead of getting in the game. If they are players, you might ask them exactly what benefit they derive from making fun of you, and if it actually makes them feel better / believe that their dicks are in any way larger for trying to put you down. I've found that people that kid others, with the intention of hurting another's feelings, generally wither when confronted by honest communication. What are they going to say? "sorry soma. i'm an insecure dickhead. i'll look into it.?" not likely. eventually, you'll have the ability to not associate with assholes. college dorms ain't always that opportunity.
