I hate talking to or being involved with neighbors in any way
Someday I will live in the country with no neighbors around at all, but for now I live in the city. Why does everyone think you have to talk to your neighbors? Why is that so widely accepted? Why can't I just live here and you leave me alone? I have a great new apartment, unfortunately it's in what I call a "nosey neighbor neighborhood". Is it normal that I want to be able to go out in my backyard without having to engage in small talk with the people over the fence?
