Question

When watching TV, you have a bad habit of drowning out everything else around you. Your roommate often complains that you "never listen." This situation is happening due to repression.

No, this situation is not happening due to repression. Repression is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person unconsciously blocks out unpleasant or traumatic memories, thoughts, or feelings. In this situation, the person is simply not paying attention to their roommate and is instead focusing on the TV.
