How often do you visit your neighbours????????????

Damn! I should start to talk to the neighbours! I never did but I will start for sure!

this is so sad! Just imagine the plight of the man when he was dying, such a lonely death he had! But we are approaching days when this would become an obvious end to most of us. Just imagine our lifestyle today. Most live ion multi storied buildings alone and we have no time to peek in next door. we hardly care and stop for others. we have forgotten to smile, pat, hug and hold hands!!

having said this, I live in an old neighborhood where I have grown up with aunts, uncles, grand ma, grand pas around. Its like a beautiful community and even though I hardly visit others my mom is very good in socialising. she has her buinch of friends and they party off and on. I scold her many times but this incident made me realise little of it in fact so good!!

Thanks for sharing this.

Just greet them in the morning when they going out or you can give them some delicious food infront their gater or door to make them befriend.

Oh my god, I haven't visited my neighbours in like..3 years! Its mainly exchange of pleasantries when we see them. Its not like they want to be visited either.

Well,i remember when i was a boy,i often play with the neighbours' kids,our families has been neighbours for generations,we could not be more familiar with each other,but after we moved to a new place,neighbours equals strangers:-(

That is a very sad sad story. You have to wonder though why put the blame on his neighbors? What about his family members? You mean to tell me not one family member ever tried to call him or get ahold of him? I always wave at my neighbors when I see them and say hi and ask how they are doing but that is the extent of it. I never spend more than 5-10 minutes talking to them nor do I hang out with them. If that makes me a bad person so be it.

I live down a gravel road with only a few houses on my road. But I do know my neighbors and three of us walk together for exercise. The others are about the same age group and we always talk when we see each other out and about. I agree, though, neighbors need to be checked on once in a while. This was a really sad story you sent and hopefully it will open people's eyes. Thanks for sharing.:)

I see the neighbors outside on a regular basis. The people directly next door to us are older so if I didn't see them go out to get their mail or leave the house in their car for awhile, I'd go over there or call their daughter. I don't visit them because the wife is rather annoying. She's always questioning me about religion or something I do not care to talk about. She's a bit senile as well.

I heard this story on television and it's hard to understand how this man was dead in a chair for over a year. I would think the utility companies or other sources would be calling to discuss an overdue bill. There would be a red flag somewhere. Never seeing any trashcans outside should have been some concern. Mail piling up in the mailbox would also be strange.

Yes, neighbors visit each other in our country. I respect our neighbor's privacy and won't go ring doorbells to visit. Many also work away from the house.

I don't pay a visit at their house but I make sure that they know me and I know them, especially those that knows my family.

i sometimes visit my neighbours
