For feeling like my privacy is being invaded?

I think you’re being a bit rude.

Your roommate is just making conversation and seems to genuinely care about you and your life.

It’s true that you aren’t obligated to tell her much. And you’re not “wrong” for not wanting to chit chat with her. But if she doesn’t KNOW (because you haven’t told her) that to you, living in this apartment is an experiment in you living a mysterious life that no one is allowed to ask about or know about, she isn’t being invasive or inappropriate by attempting to engage you in what most people consider normal conversation.

You seem to regret moving out due to having unrealistic expectations of how much freedom and privacy you’d have, and it’s unfair of you to make your roommate bear the brunt of your discomfort by being curt with her without telling her why.
