Mumben: If you know what happens in Lagos you will understand, it's mind your business thing. If you know you will be late, inform one of your neighbours, don't wait until you get to the gate and start knocking, ones it's 9pm, the only way I respond is if you call me. 2 Likes |

So you dont want to be a hermit anymore (joking). At least moderation is the key, at least greeting a neighbour is adequate. Me i greet everyone around me, and mind my business, and sometimes i try to show kindness to strangers. I think minding one's business is the best thing, there is peace of mind. And respecting those around is also good. LordIsaac: 1 Like |

I think it's all your fault so stop blaming your co-tenants. In any environment you find yourself try and study the attitude of the people living there. I learnt some lessons about my compound during the time I was coming for inspection. The agent who happens to be the landlord's brother had to knock on the gate with no response and we did that for about 2 weeks. He told me that's the attitude of people in the compound. The person who just packed out left with the gate keys so the remaining tenants decided to change it. Now that I have packed in even if it's something I want to throw outside I always make sure I carry my keys. In your own case, it was even a female friend who visited and you still get the mind carry boxer and singlet comot. 5 Likes |

Well thats sad, for both people, both buyer and seller. We should do better as people. Maybe we can say, it is transferred trauma or depression. But you have adjusted, good for you . We all need to be resilient, although it even has it limits. LordIsaac: |

I think its also a case of sustained trauma. Although i am not an expert. Okay wow What does anyone do, when they encountered, such stressful or negative situation, they build a shell and a defensive approach in subsequent situations. JaySmart4422: 1 Like |

Nemesis0147:Neighbors are your closest family, that's what some of y'all don't know. If there's an emergency, neighbors are the first responders. Nigeria is not US where you get ambulance in 5 minutes. 2 years ago, I blackout in my bathroom because I wasn't feeling fine... Next thing I opened my eyes I found myself in the hospital. Thanks to a neighbor who said he heard unusual sound of someone falling, he ran to my door to check and no response, he had to break the door... Imagine if I was the type of I don't care neighbor. 29 Likes 2 Shares |

Offpoint1: Oga your case is different while others are different too. There are good and bad neighbors in your own case you have a good neighbor and like someone pointed out you should try to study the kind of people.living with you. My point is not everyone is good so one has to be very careful 3 Likes |

SeriouslySense: Yes now exactly how i put it he is fortunate to have a good neighbor so you don't blame people who mind their business or have i don't care attitude ooo. People experience in life are different |
Re: I Don't Care Neighbours by SeriouslySense(m): 11:28pm On Apr 09 |
That is true, some people have very negative experience, so they become very protective and avoid situations, that can produce those negative experiences. While others still persisted and preferred to create more positive experiences, despites the risks. okerekingsley90: |
