I am sorry leavemealone... I understand that. I have figured most people out and the verdict is I don't like most. I used to be friendly... Life taught me not to be. I woke up and now I am much happier and safer too.
We have a creepy couple who moved in... Right away they got very Nosey and asked alot of personal questions and insulted my husband for not being friendly to my face!
I told them he is very shy and it's not personal but they went on and on and kept slamming him. My husband told me if I was more like him I could spare myself other people dramas and insults... He is right!
In fact this couple is way too Nosey and I am rather suspicious of their motives... Without going into why here... I will say this...

You have way more to worry about that Nosey perky neighbor than you do about the one who seems aloof!

I would be thankful that someone actually tipped me off... Most people wouldn't do that fir a stranger for many very good reasons...I would look elsewhere. I had a neighbor once write a letter about his issues with my barking dogs... Be went on about his problems and etc and apparently blamed me for his issues... Not a good sign either! I don't allow my digs to bark over the 15 min limit. I called the police and told them how he was over reacting and the letter. The police told me to stay away from him and said that I was within my legal rights... He then threw a Rock into my basement window which almost hit my child in the head! I had no proof but the police are watching him. He looks upstanding and has expensive cars and his own business... He is very arrogant and has been arrested on DUI and speeding...he is a mental case.
I have been trained to look for red flags in people and one thing I have learned is where there is smoke... There is fire!

Oh my god! I forgot one experience that I should of added. I will agree without poster here about basketballs! Awful. We had a very large family across the street who always bounced basketballs! The single mom has wild parties at night and he drinking drug parties went out into the street. Swearing and hearing glass break as common at 2 am. Next door to her was a religious nut who drove her churches van home and would scream at her poor children to get out and open he door in the middle of the night... It was in a very demonic voice and she was quite abusive to her children... Who cried and tried to reason with her. Next door to me was a drug bust that had the parents jailed and kids removed.
The entire plan was full of people who were either on drugs or just plain crazy.. The few good people ran into their homes after work and you never see them again.
I found out later that the last two home ownes had issues too and that. They both lived there under 18 months
My lesson here is that when in doubt to buy a home... Don't. I had doubts about this plan but was told it was very affordable for the area and relatively safe. It wasn't. It was a upper class slum ghetto. Looked nice and had an HOA whom hid their heads in the sand.
Thankfully we got out before the crash and was a me to sell with no loss. If e had waited even a few months later we would of be trapped there As the values went down 30 grand almost over night.

I have had so many varied experiences with neighbors. I have moved around alot when my husband was going through he ropes in his career and I mostly had ran into other stay at home moms or the elderly. Sometimes drunk college students and grown adults living at home in the parents basement. I would say that even with the few good experiences in my opinion... It's better to just keep to yourself. I lived in mostly upper class areas that were either gated or were well sought after areas...so that being said, should tell you something. The first place we lived was an apt in the Midwest that was very private and wooded. High on a hills and close to the city where we would bike in on any given Saturday and have lunch. We were just married and had not started our family yet so we worked and were very busy. I don't ever remember seeing an neighbor or anyone saying hello and I didn't think a thing about it. We did once get a visit from the local amway rep and I can remember inviting her in and having lemonade on my terrace with her. I was you g and I was far from where I was born and raised.
The next place we lived was down south... Deep South. Where if your not born there and pack a friend... Your tolerated at best. I did meet others like me but we had not much we in common. Either thy were much older or they had kids. I was told by two local business ownes that if you moved here and had money people would first ask your last name and then check around and if no one knew you... You were trouble and most likely a drug dealer. I asked these two business owners why they would be so friendly to me a d they said that they were unlike most of the folks around town. It was very odd. We glad to move when we did.
We then moved upstate and lived In a townhome next to nice friendly elderly couple who were very nice and would bake us cookies. Their grown son was a user and was in and out of trouble often... Thankfully we found that when we were moving and I didn't have to worry about my home being broke into.
Then we bought our first home and met our new neighbors who were too friendly who wanted to socialize way too much. We did not want to drink every weekend with them and then they just stopped talking to us. It was weird. They were quite offended by that. And they smoked in their home while we were visiting. I have asthma and yet I stayed way too long. I mentioned that and yet they kept lighting up...we then had them in our home later and had an smoking area outside on the patio...they were insulted by that.
Then we moved back home where are planning on staying for good. And the neighbors here are a mixed bag of nuts. One elderly woman has no boundaries and talks extreme political views and gets angry if you don't agree with her. I put her on the hello and goodbye status and then she went talking behind my back to the new neighbors who are way too friendly to the point of creepiness. I avoid them like the plague. The other neighbor said my dogs can't bark in a rather rude letter. Legally they can bArk up to 15 minutes a day. I never broke that rule. Apparently this guy has alot of enemies and he is quite shady. They have very odd habits. Will leave it to that. He threw a Rick in my basement window. I called he police and they said he has a record of arrests and DUI so I just avoid him as best we can.
We then have a crazy woman who walks her dog every three hours who lives with her mother. She is bipolar and is downright nuts. She also spreads rumors and apparently has no life and needs medication.
I have give given up on people. I seem too much and honestly people as crazy. I will say hello if spoken to but I keep on walking as I speak it.
I really enjoyed the comments here. And I agree with the senior citizen here said that the best advice she has ever gotten was to say hello but keep on walking
