I leave dishes in the sink a few times a week, and my roommates are bothered by it...

I'm naturally a very messy person, so this itself takes a lot of effort. We live different lifestyles. Is it right of them to impose their lifestyle on me? Is there some unwritten law that says living an ultra clean and tidy lifestyle is the only right way to live? I honestly didn't think it was a big deal, but apparently they do.

Am I in the wrong here? I'm currently so dysfunctional in my life that I fear I'm unable to be any cleaner unless I stop eating. What's the best way to solve this? I simply don't want any more hostility between us.

Edit: I never complain when others bother me. I simply let them do what they're doing so everyone's happy. Should I start letting them know all the things that bother me instead? ...not in a mean way...
