  • I've thought of that, but he seems to not be annoyed with our other neighbors when I heard him talking to them. But I don't know how they have been with the helping him carry things, bring him food, etc. Maybe they've given him more space than I have, but I don't know, not even sure if that's it.

      • Just small talk, about the weather, music, movies, and I ask him how he's doing. But he'll stop me now before I even get far talking about anything, he'll either say nothing in return or give a very short response with irritated tone, like I said before. What do you think, should I just stop talking to him and stop offering him to help him with things? Because when I do now, he just shows no appreciation and really snaps at me. Why would someone get so irritable with someone who keeps being nice and trying to help him?

          I dunno. I would probably back off.

          • Good idea. I'm wondering though, should I tell him that I won't talk to him much anymore before doing so, or should I just not say anything and do it? Reason I'm asking is that me saying something first could ironically stir him up further because he's hated me calling him out on his bad attitude and I'd still be doing it in a sense even if it's to then back off. Besides, he might not believe I'll do it until I actually have gone a certain period of time not talking to him much anymore.

              Don't tell him you're gonna quit talking to him, and leave him be... just do it! Why would you tell him, what's the point of telling him? Actions speak louder than words, my friend.

              • Ok, I'll just stop associating with him then. I won't say anything else to him now, I'll just do my own thing, he'll do his. Like I said, the reason this bothered me was because I've done so many nice things for him and he was unpleasant in return, but that no longer matters now, I'll just move on now and not associate with him anymore.
                I appreciate your advice on all this
