I Don’t Talk With My Neighbors. What To Do by Christianoir: 11:15pm On Feb 22
It is weird, I don’t talk with my neighbour, we only greet nd hail each other that where it end, but I haven’t really have any meaningful conversation with them before and it bother me sometimes tho.. I’m mostly an introvert nd the shy type. Is something wrong with me, sometimes I want to speak to them, but me speaking to them will mean being friendly, which I’m avoiding, ever since I rented this compound I’ve avoided trouble. Nd I’m someone who cares about what people say or care about the opinion of others, things get to me easily tho

Do they see me as a proud/arrogant person.
I’m I weird. Is there people out there like me who have neighbors like me.

Im a student tho.

As far as I'm concerned greetings is enough for neighbours unless when there's an important discussion. U are not the only one that can/should initiate friendly discussions or share meals on festive periods they can too if they want so stop giving urself a hard time and be ur best self not somebody else.

You want to speak to people you avoid being friendly with because you have labelled them trouble?

I think you should stop caring what people think of you and instead bother what you think of your neighbours and yourself.

It's better you "dey your dey"

That you people greet one another and it doesn't progress beyond that goes to show that you guys do not operate on the same frequency.

Well if it bothers you, and I'm sure it does, 'cause that's why you brought it here. Find at least one person you can be close with, at least someone you share something in common, could be someone younger or even older.

Silence is better
Keep minding your business
It's all in your head
Your neighbours have their own problems
They don't think about you more than 3-4min in 24hrs
In the end nobody cares.

is all in your head. I overthink too myself. Even when i tell someone goodmorning, i would start overthinking like whether the person felt offended by it or not. Try to control your thoughts and go out more. It would help you. If you see your neighbour you can bring in a lot of topics, then sit back and see him talking while you listen. You can talk about the house condition and so on. Or you can observe the environment and it would be a topic.

why should you be concerned about this? Familiarity breeds contempt. Good morning goodmorning is enough, pay your bills on time and attend meetings when necessary. Maintain your lane and avoid see finish

I'm not saying you should go and bow before them or lick their toes but be very friendly with your neighbors .

HAVE their contacts in case of Emergencies especially Medical ones.
Attend or try to honor any events,party or compound meeting.
If there's a discussion around you ,smile or laugh and go your way

It's better they know you as the "shy brother that doesn't talk" than "that one" .

Good neighbors oftentimes become friends, then Sisters or brothers.

I only ever talk with the two neighbours at each side, it has always been like that for me in my different neighbourhood. Those are the two most relevant ones that will watch out for you. They have more to lose if something ever happens to your house.

Too much familiarity breeds contempt. Keep it simple.

You need to improve on your social life, your neighbors are your closest brothers and sisters. try to be greeting, asking about work, just feel free and interact. help in any way you can, sometime, i help to open the gate for them to drive in or out when i meet them at the gate. just free yourself and you will be happy you did.

I am 100% like you, and the advantages in most cases outweighs the disadvantages.

Be good to them whenever you have reason to speak together but don't be too close to anyone. Chose your friends from outside.
