We have a new neighbor here beside our rented house. She is very proud and that she always show all their new gadgets and if they buy things even we didn't see it They will tell it and said. They tell everything what they have.. and how much they bought. even we did not ask for it. She is proud to tell that it's her daughter who have a Japanese lover who give money to her daughter every month. and and when the japanese is not there. the filipino lover of her daughter is the replacement and also as what she told to my mother. This filipino whom like us, is rich too. When they have car they used to park in front of our house . Honestly, to show it is ok but what is irritating is everyday and what she is doing is really obvious .Should I avoid talking to this new neighbor of ours?

hahaha... i think of Mr. Bean. It is okay... just let it be, feeling affected will just tell them that you are envious and jealous of their wealth. Who knows, you might need something and you will find it there in the yard. so relax.. it is okay.... They did not run over your plants, trees or flowers, right? so let it be. you will have wrinkles when you give much attention to something petty like this.

I would avoid talking to her. I don't want to be friends with someone who doesn't treat people right. I mean, don't they ever think what would happen when the Japanese lover would know? I think these types of people are not good influences, I would try to avoid them as much as I could. Just to keep the peace, I would be civil but I would surely stop talking to them (I would avoid if I can). Have a great mylot experience ahead!

thanks laydee for giving your opinion. yah, it's better to stay here inside of home than to spend time to talk to her . well they have store so when I go and buy to their store that is their chance to tell everything they have within that day.

I have a friend who always update me where she goes for holiday, the new car that she bought and the new condominium, etc. So, I really happy for her but when I have something nice to share with her, she seems to look at me blankly and just change to another topics. Then I realise what type of person she is. I just do not bother to tell her anymore, I just be a good listener and take things lightly. I never have high expectation so that I won't be dissappointed.

There are such people who likes to brag on things most especially their success which is quite just too ordinary for some people and with this, it is somehow annoying to entertain their talks about some things they liked to brag about. Your neighbor is quite overwhelmed by the wealth they have, and her sharing on her success through conversations is kind of way too overboard wherein she adds up information that is so, not necessary to share in public. This results that the conversations makes it look that she feels superior and too boastful. If I’d be on such situation, I would definitely ignore that neighbor although it may seem as if I am snobbish, it’s a sign that people can’t get along with that person because that person doesn’t care too much on the subject he/she is conversing most especially boasting on their success.

That kind of people are irritating. Avoid them. Just listen from one ear and out the other. Be civil. And one more thing I want to ask. What is there to be boastful about your daughter having two lovers at the same time?

I do not like such kind of a neighbor who seemed too much attached to material things. Just do not mind her.

I keep myself to myself, that way there is no one that knows what is going on in my four walls. Some people like to brag about all the things that they have got or what they are going to buy all the holidays they are going on or have been on, so I would just say hi and keep walking, that way perhaps they will get the hint, saves so much trouble in the long run.

There are all kinds of people in this world. Some are very boastful and showy. If they don't show, they find it not worth it...so it is a need for them, to make their purchase justifiable! I even have relatives who are crazy over 'glory' and want people to praise them. Just do not let them bother you. Being diplomatic and just be courteous will make your day sail smoothly.

Hey, it is not just your neighbor loves to show off, and telling everything what they have and how rich they are. One of my co - worker also telling us the same thing, how rich his nephew, his families. How smart his family members are, etc..... We heard over and over that story, and we simply getting tired of those tall tales. I would definitely try to ignore those people, and avoid talking to them further.

If bragging is all that she has to say, I think that you should just find for other people to talk to or just do something else than talk to your neighbor. I don't want to waste my time with person like them. But I do pity her. They only brag about what they get from others. Aren't they ashamed that they are actually using people just to have things for themselves?

If I had a friend like that I wouldn't mind borrowing these things she keeps boasting. Just let her words pass your ears and you'll be fine. If you can't handle her, then you can spare the headache and avoid her. But that's not so nice. There are proud people who do this. I don't really know why they have to bother boasting. It must make them feel good... or they just find it an enjoyable hobby. Personally, I wouldn't be so proud of things that I bought NOT with my own money. It's not their money, it's the Japanese's money.

If I were her neighbor, I think she'll stop talking to me after just few times. I have a way to let people know I'm not interested to engage in some conversations. It's all just in my 'selfish' body language, nothing rude or harsh or anything like that...

its ok not to avoid her. its alright, it doesn't hurt u, does it? its annoying, yes,but u have free entertainment. her whole personality is a joke, just laugh with it. she is boastful maybe but see if she still has good heart. Who knows she will help u one day in your most worse hour? As long as she doesn't gossip other life, its alright, just let her gossip about herself. ;-)

I think you should not waste your time listening to your neighbor's stories. You can engage in worthwhile activities instead of giving her your precious time. You can read a book, go to the gym, whatever. I do not like talking with neighbors because I am too busy for that. I just smile and wave at them and that's all.

Yeah, maybe you should avoid talking with her sometimes. This kind of people are iritating and usually they are comparing their lives with others or maybe with yours and putting you down for what you don't have or cannot afford. You might just get disappointed with this person, so it's better not to mingle with them.
