I have also a nice experience about the neighborhood relation.Lats night while i was sleeping then at the 2 AM there was a sound of screaming outside my house.It was very hard to beat.I open my window and then see that one of my neighbor was crying like screaming.Then I asked what happened.The interesting thing is that she said, his only children has broken her favorite flower vase.Then I laughed and made her a console.

Well, I don’t have meddling neighbours because I live in a very quiet town. I did however, for an entire year, have an acquaintance who eventually became my friend because he never left me alone. He sat next to me in my high school anatomy class, and while he was very smart, and interesting to talk to, he was also very aware of the fact. So I smiled and nodded, laughed at his jokes, hoping he would leave me alone. But then second semester started, and the projects started requiring partners and time outside of class, so, much to my chagrin, this boy started seeking me out. I would be sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, enjoying my lunch or daydreaming, when he would walk up and, without giving me any choice in the matter, tell me to come with him either because a project needed finishing, or he just wanted to spend some time with me, and the thought never occurred to him that I might want some time alone; that prospect was simply inconceivable. So eventually I took to hiding out in the library and only coming out when I actually wanted to spend some time with him. He was a nice kid and very bright, but oh so incredibly pushy, and somewhat arrogant at times, so I can relate to the nosy neighbour stories!

That’s horrible! And how do they expect you to ever want to go to a subdivision party now, with all that hostility they’re displaying? I hope that over time you’ll get to know some of the people there – people who will see all the cool qualities about you, including that you’re not weird, stuck-up, psychopathic, etc.! Then they will be able to tell the rude/mean ones that they really are wrong.

I’m so happy I found this blog! I’m extremely introverted. As for neighbors, well, ours hate us because we don’t socialize with them. We don’t attend the subdivision parties. They’re not nosy, they’re rude. Since we’ve been here, they just rudely stare at us when we’re outside without saying hi and even my family and my husband’s family noticed it when they came over to visit us. We’ve overheard them while they were standing across the street in the neighbor’s yard talking about how strange we are and some other rude stuff. Anyway, it’s just an example of how sometimes it’s hard being an introvert living in an extroverted world….

I hope you don’t too! It’s so hard to tell, at the very beginning, but this woman marched right in the day after we moved in, looking at all the boxes and exclaiming over and over, “Oh! You got a lot of work to do!” Hmmm…two people getting married and moving from their apartments to one house in a new city… ya think?

Marko – that’s me exactly. If I worked alone at home, then I’d have a bit of a need to see people, but as it is, I still need my alone time after a day of talking to others – even very nice, cool coworkers. I hate for people to think we’re weird, but I see more and more that alone time is a true need – without it I am liable to have an introvert meltdown eventually.

Interesting story. I myself work with people all day at work. While I do enjoy my job, I still want some peace and quiet when I get back home. Neighbors don’t seem to understand this tho’. They think I’m weird, cause I don’t hang out with them enough.
