Na so most of us be... But sometimes you wish you are extro... What I do in that situation is to drink some bottles, get friendly and then tomorrow morning, you won't believe it's me again. In other to compliment myself, I married and extro... Life goes on. Trouble is best avoided

If you have me as your neighbour...you MUST talk to me. I can penetrate the hardest person and make the person free himself...

Your case is a typical characteristics of an introvert. Nothing is wrong with you. Many people are in same shoes with you. It's just a way of avoiding trouble and being peaceful with people around. However, you should be generous by occassionally showing love through giving to less priviledge among them if you have the capacity. This is to buy their loyalties incase of any unforseen circumstances. All the best.

The primary aim of staying there is not to be speaking with them. once u are greeting them, it is ok. don't do what u are not ready for because they may think you are proud or arrogant. just be happy for you.

That is how it's supposed to be it got nothing to do with being an introvert but what is ethical and norms.
Situation and circumstances will arise for short and extensive chat in due course.
And when social events or gathering that is mandatory comes up just be civil and diplomatic.
Another thing is whatever is destined will always work itself according to fate simple.
So you are the perfect person for me.

On being an introvert just be Responsible what I mean by that is you have to work to be able to tag along perfectly and learn beforehand vital interpersonal relationships skills so as to be on top of any situation at your best.
Have a wonderful day.

It's hard to believe though, but your first family is your neighbor. Your extended family doesn't know your movement, but your neighbor knows. The person to come to your aid is your neighbor before calling other members of your family

That's exactly how I relate with mine also and I'm absolutely fine with that. I don't care what anyone thinks. I'm a very private person and I don't want anyone know much about me. I have friends though but my neighbors are just there next door. I don't want anyone to be my vulnerability.

Jokkarm2:



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.

Doing all these just because you want to be in their good 📖 or what?

When my neighbors need an assistance, i render but I will not do these things you mentioned above and i am not egoistic, anyway.

I greet and chat with them but I don't see any reasons to be closer to them. For what?

I mind my business and that has always kept me out of trouble. cool

Referring to the bolded,
How can you have neighbors after renting an entire compound

Stop confusing us!


Anyways,

Maybe you should start by telling us the following:

1). What kind of apartment did you rent?

2). Do you guys use prepaid or estimated billing?

3) Is water running inside your apartment or do you have a central place in the compound where you all go to fetch water or do you buy from outside?

4). How many neighbors do you have?

Re: I Don’t Talk With My Neighbors. What To Do by Angelfrost(m): 12:38pm On Feb 23
I'm not an Introvert, but you see these Homo Sapiens called "Neighbors", I give them all a wide berth... Nothing personal!

Over-familiarity irritates me, and I love and cherish my privacy.

For me, saying Hi and exchanging greetings whenever I run into them is more than sufficient. Make everybody dey him jurisdiction.

If or when it becomes necessary to engage them beyond 'Hello', I will.


That said... Op, still try to respond and chat if they initiate it. Attend meetings if organized, and engage during the meetings. Be seen and heard! It won't kill, and doesn't mean you have to stop being introverted.

You won't understand the troubles God is removing from your head. You'd better stick to that standard. I keep arm distance with everyone at home, in church, at office and picnic centres. I have reduced the number of friends that I got. My privacy is golden and has to be reserved!
