I live on a quiet street. Its a small crescent of about 10 houses. The houses are not close to each other and I could sit outdoors and not hear whats going on next door.
Ive talked to only our neighbors to the right and dont really know anyone else. I wouldnt even recognize them if I were to meet them at the store.
Do you know your neighbors?? I mean do you REALLY know them? Are you friends with your neighbors?

Hi. MagicalBubbles. I don't think that anyone in this world REALLY knows their neighbors like that. I may know OF them. But I don't REALLY know them as well. Many neighbors tend to try to become better acquainted with each other, but they still won't be considered someone that you will completely trust just on the spot. I have seen my neighbors and I don't know exactly what all of my neighbors look like. Most of them drive past my home in my yard or they will be leaving out of the mobile home park. They do drive slow so that they can look in my face but I don't do the same thing to them. I don't have time to look in their face because I have important things that I have to do. If they would like to speak, I will gladly speak to them too. I just don't be up in their face like that because I believe in giving my neighbors their own personal space.

I know most of my neighbour, well actually I know most of the people in my housing area, most of them is my childhood friend and close friends, some are relative, its good to get to know neighbours, you can't have the perfect neigbour, but all humans are not perfect. :) For me I prefer to have neighbours where I live.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
You're right, humans are not perfect....I think we'd be very boring if we were perfect haha!
Sounds nice that you live around your family and childhood friends.....good for you!!

I don't know mine, I only have spoken to them when there has been a problem, if I met them on the street I wouldn't know who they were. It seems like we are always in a fight to maintain our land, neighbors move their roads and fences, ruin the creek and in other manners affect our land. I wouldn't really care if just one of these things happened once in a while but if I don't complain they just keep on doing whatever they want and my land gets smaller and smaller, and I still have to pay taxes on the whole thing.

Sorry I couldnt get back to you sooner.....Ive had problems similar to yours and had to take action. People have NO respect for other's property anymore and its a darn shame!!
You are right to fight for your land, its YOURS and you pay for it!!!
Im also sorry you have to go through this, I know its no fun and if everybody minded their own business, live might be a bit simpler at times.....right?
Thanks for replying !!!

I know my neighbor's faces. I'm aware who lives in the house around me, but I don't REALLY know them. I don't know what they are really like, well I can assume from their approach but I don' t really care to get to know them either.

Sounds like you and your neighbors keep to yourselves. I can tell you dont feel too comfy around them or you would get to know them. At least you know what they look like.......its a start lol.
