Why am I so antisocial?

[ringsandcoffee]

A family has moved into the apartment next door. They first arrived on Thursday, and today (Saturday) I hear them going in and out. I should go introduce myself, but I just don't want to. It's not like I'm scared or anything, and I really do like knowing my neighbors (the only other ones I even know the names of were the previous tenants) but here I sit. When I happen to be going outside sometime, I'll say hi.

Edit: I said hi just now as I took out the trash. Nice people, cute daughter. See, not so hard. Bleh.

I like to know my neighbors, too! It IS hard to just go say hi sometimes.
I see your edit, though...good on you! I hope y'all can become friends. :D It seems SO much easier in apartments than in individual homes.

I was anti-social at my old house. So were my neighbors. I lived there for 3.5 years without one neighbor even knowing my name.

Here, I know most everyone around me by name. And they know mine. We say hi and chat for a few minutes from time to time. It's a good feeling.

I was always worried about the "showing up at your door with a cassarole" type, but that hasn't been the case with anyone. Luckily. :)

I'm glad you said hi to them.

I hate my neighbors, they are jerks. I have been living in my house for the past 6 years and I hate them. I hope they get moved to a retirement home and go away! They are mean, they are nosy, they are stupid jerks. I HATE MY NEIGHBORS. They are trashy and did I mention they are big nosy good for nothing jerks? I hate them. I don't say hi to them. If I see them crossing the street, I always try to run them over, but as old as they are, they can sure run for their lives. I will get them one of these days. those stupid jerks!
