Their eyes are on you

Have you ever felt that feeling that whenever you go home from school or from work, the moment you step in your neighborhood, your neighbors are actually observing you. Sometimes, I just can't stand feeling that way. But it's really true.
I don't usually go out and mingle with my neighbors, that's why, maybe, I become a mystery to them. Would you do eavesdropping to your neighbor, too, if you don't get to talk to them most of the time?

yeah, when we moved to the previous house where we lived our neighbors used to stare at me when i go out or come home from school...
i was new to the neighborhood so i was shy to talk to them... but they were talking about me, they think im a snob...
i didnt really care though, im not there to impress them anyway...

I do feel like my neighbors are a bit nosy and it's funny sometimes to watch them, but I just brush it off. It's also funny that you say that because our neighbors across the street cut down the main tree that blocks their house after it's been there since before they even bought it. That's crazy lol and it wasn't dying or nothin. Also, the lady next door is over neighborhood watch.. so i could understand why she'd be a little extra observant. But, that's weird too because she's NEVER home... she's a podiatrist so she don't time to do that really.

Hi, utakgaga. Yes, I have felt like this a whole lot. The people that live out here always watch us when we come in and out. They are usually standing around watching us when we bring our groceries in. They also just be outside even we I will go to check my mailbox or just when I am dumping my garbage. I don't like others watching me when we are entering this apartment complex. My husband plans to get us a house so that we can move in another couple of months. I am very unhappy with where I live at. These people out here are wild and creepy.

Well most of the time it happens that when I come back to home my neighbor knows that she has come . They always like to check from their spy eye what is going on here who is coming , when they are going .Sometimes it happens like they ask me you came at that time with somebody else ..who was that? I feel really embarrassing that how can they think that whats going on who is the helper blah blah ....just cant take it so now I had just stopped thinking about this...

yes, your comment just reminds me of one of my experiences when I brought home one of my guy friends for some school project. My boy cousin was there at home, so I didn't have to worry about rumors to go spreading along. But eventually, the next day, somebody from our neighborhood told my mother that I brought home a boyfriend and they said we were all alone in the house. *sigh*

I hate it when people do that, especially when it is your own family getting into your personal business.. ^:|
