How is your relationship with your neighbors?

Question

We barely have any. I live in a residential complex with around 1,000 people in residential. last day at the stairwell, a middle-aged woman was crying, saying, "How did I not know about this?" after we understood, It turned out that a 65 year old man who lived alone had been dead inside his house for a month. The neighbors only noticed because of the smell of the corpse and informed his family. So, as you can see, the relationships between neighbors are so bad that even if someone dies, nobody knows about it. People are like ghosts.

This same thing happened in an apartment I lived in. But it wasn't the smell that alerted the neighbor. It was the fluids dripping through the ceiling into the apartment below. A couple I knew pretty well lived there. He was at work, but the woman was there when the dripping started. She wouldn't go back into that apartment for a month, even after it was cleaned up. I knew a lot of the neighbors there pretty well.

My current relationship with my neighbors is very good. I know everyone within two houses each direction on both sides of the road. I have at least met most of the others on the street. I've met a lot of people from further away when they are out walking their dogs. Some families with young children do family walks every day, so I see them a lot. I'll at least wave if I'm outside, or maybe have a chat.

I remember children who came Trick-or-Treating when they were five years old, and they are done with college now. Some of them have kids of their own. Altogether I've known at least seven generations on this street, counting both older and younger.

I don't even know their names, but I can list all the family secrets of my upstairs neighbors, they fight every day. Everyday. Strangely this week they're quiet, either they've finally made peace, or one of them killed the other, either way it's benefit for me. Silence finally. The only downside of living in an apartment is noisy neighbors, there's always at least one)

We don’t talk, usually i peek out my head to see outside before i go out to avoid neighbors.

I don't have much contact with my neighbours, but that's by choice. I have a woman who comes in every week, so when I die I might bloat a little but I probably won't liquefy in the flat. Which isn't nice to think about but it's clearly the Will of God.

That is such a sad story. 😥 I am so grateful to live in a rural country area where even if some people might not like each other they will at least check on each other once in awhile. Especially in winter. This summer a group of neighbors got together to help rebuild a barn that had burned.

I don’t know my neighbors at all. Before Covid I at least knew who they were and a little about their routine. Now I’ve had multiple people move in and out around me over the years, and I haven’t spoken to any of them once.

zagor · Answer

Most apartments I've lived in have been like that. Where I live now I have known the immediate neighbors (on each side and across the street) for some time, but go a few doors down and?

Depends on what neighbors, but I usually try to be correct, even if some of them are not.
