I have a neighbors who seem to develop a dislike to her neighbors. She is always telling gossip and making troubles making her a total nuisance. Have you encounter the same things? Do you ever feel a neighbor is so nosey and have you ever experience having a bad feeling to a certain neighbors that eventually making your nerves out? My neighbors and I cannot really figures out why other new neighbors do not get well in good contact with her new neighbors. Is their are times you get puzzled why a neighbor dislike you inspite of you doing anything not bad? Do you know how to change your attitudes toward your neighbor who act like she own the world and never mind whose her neighbors are?

hello neelianoscet!
when i am still in my place of birth living with my parents, there our house is surrounded by many neighbors...all in all we have a very nice relationship with them for most of them are our relatives...but sometimes we also get some troubles with them especially when there's a new boarder on the other house or sometimes we get trouble from some neighbors from other family...
the usual cause of troubles is gossip! and some people who are talking at your back and seems that talking about our life is their joy...that really pisses us off!
i also don't like neighbors who make loud noise...like always yelling and playing their sounds soooo loud! its a disturbance for the community!
some of our neighbors dislikes us coz maybe they are envy of you, insecure and just nothing to do with their lives...
how we deal with these kind of people...well we just ignore them and their actions as long as it does not hurt us...but when they are getting too much that is the time that we talk to them to fix things out! as much as possible we always want to have a very good relationship with them coz
time will come or in some times and situation they will be the one who will help us and its very nice to live in a place where everybody is our friend or if not at least we are in good terms with them...that gives us a peaceful environment, peaceful life and mind...
just keep on being good to them...its normal for neighbors to have some misunderstandings sometimes and well, we can't really please everybody...
just pray for them! hehehe

Well, you are right as we cannot please everyone who comes across our path. We just learn to live with it. As long they never go to the maximum boundary it it still tolerable. They are also useful and in either way will serve as security in case we are out of the house and something happen in your house and no one is around. They will be the one to know what happen around their neighborhood. As they are always alert and hungry to know the events which already and about to happen. And, for sure if they are kind enough will also be the one to rescue anyone who are dire need of help. Keeping friendly is essential to any community.

those kinds of neighbors you describe are very insensitive to others neighbor who live nearby. Thus they think they own the places and have all the rights to make noises which they think are beautiful to their own listening but a bomb of loud noises. Therefore, to avoid quarrel or lot of arguments. It is best to avoid those types of neighbors and if you could no longer bear the noises.Then it is necessary that you talk with them that they would realize they are creating disturbance and you could not sleep at have peace by letting them know they are the sources.

I don't ave neighbors who act like this but some other ppl I know do have this habit. It can be very annoying sometimes to have terrible neighbors. Mine just come and ask for whatever they please often. This puts me off and I choose whether to invite them home or not. Some of my neighbors are rather nosy too, they nearly always ask me about the parties or gatherings we have at home and then want to know everything in detail. I make sure not to entertain such ppl often, it only puts me off!

We could not really avoid neighbors like that and will just learn to live with them. They are very curious and for sure they have other motives from doing if they always exceed the limit of gossip and intervene with your privacy. You have all your right to select your friends and deselect those you dislike. In that way arguments are avoided. just stay being right and you will gain more loyal and trusted friends. But, it is still good to remain friends with everyone, even with nosy neighbors.They will still have value in case their is an emergency in your house and you have no companion. They are the easiest person to rely on.

The kind of neighbor like that are really not the busy type of a person and maybe have no work. She get pleasure in annoying people and will really test your patience to the maximum limit. Anyway, we could not really change their attitudes as changes should begin with them upon realizing some neighbors avoid them to be their friends.

I don't believe to be indulge in all these things. I have many neighbors around but I love to be at home working or engaging myself mylotting. I don't gossip much with these person. I know many people who gossip about others but I don't respond to those people. I am just busy in my life. I love freedom and I lead my life freely. I don't interact with them at all. I meet them rarely say no..occasionally on festivals or in someone's wedding party.

It is better to leave them with their own business while you engage more in valuable activities. We really cannot avoid interacting with those kind of people who act like a paparazzi. It is one of their diversion and get fun out of it. thanks

I am student and i spend most of my times in the hostel but there are nosy people everywhere. There is this person called Amir, he always poke shis nose into my private matters, that is particularly, he also sort of spies on others to get information that he can use to cook stories and insult them. I sometimes hate him from the depth of my heart when he tells out some of my deep secrets. I don't how he will come to know of it but he goes gossiping like a woman.
Anyhow I do feel pity for him at times though, you cannot hate a person for his character can you? I just accept people the way they are.

Some person really enjoy telling to other secrets as you could easily identify them as not trustworthy and deserve not to be your friend. They get excited and find pleasure seeing that you are affected. but, if you try to confront him, he may stop and may be aware that you are hurt. If you explain him about your side he may understand and stop telling it to other person. as something need to stay secret as it may be embarrassing and may damage your reputation.

I have a colleague who is nosey. I have developed a certain bad feeling towards this person and I cannot help myself to overcome this situation. i try to be in less contact with this person. But I just try to be polite and not trepass the boundary line of a professional colleague

As the saying goes you cannot please every person you will meet. Even though you do nothing to them they still continue to make gossip or somehow you could easily feel if the person is sincere or back fighter. Your behavior is good and just stay as what you are and you will win more friends instead of enemies.

Thats the thing that I hate with our neighbors. I don't talk to them, I just pass on them everyday and they always spread gossips about me which aren't true. There was a time that me and my mother got into a big argument just because of some rumors about me. I don't have to change my attitudes towards my neighbors as they don't do any good thing to me, I don't care to anybody who doesn't care about me. I have a helping hand to anyone who deserves it. I try not to do anything wrong to anybody as I am an assertive person but if I have done something wrong, I would apologize directly to the person. Those gossipers don't have an interesting life of their own so they make gossips on other people's lives. Their souls will be burned in hell someday hahaha

Yeah, we could not really avoid neighbors who are fond of gossip. They are the first one who know the news and entertainment news in town. They act like a reporter and it is really annoying. But, at least it is good to leave them as they are, as long as they never attack you directly. Rumors will die down as they engage in other topics.

I too have a nosey neighbour, who wants to know everything that I do and who wants me to share each and everything. It was okay when it comes to kids, but when it comes to something more personal I dislike it and I started avoiding her. Slowly she started telling stories about me with the knowledge she have gained earlier. This became a great problem and I have to face inquistive questions from other neighbours, but they learnt slowly that those were tales spun by her. And now she have no friends amongst the neighbours but we all are quite close to each other.
I like those people who respect other's privacy.

If we always avoid our neighbors who are too interested to know what going on around the life of their neighbors they are really becomes source of irritation. What we do now is to be patience as we really cannot avoid talking with them that's why they are neighbors. They are times when they could also offer help as goes the saying no mans is an island. Somehow, they are nuisance but they will be the first one to help in case their is emergency situation. They are always watchful and the first one who will know the if their neighbors have been victim of thieves or in case you are not in the house. They will be the one to report in the police.

I certainly felt the same. My neighbor really nosy sometimes, and he sent us a letter to warn us not to park our car in the front yard. That isn't his business. I can do whatever I want, it is my own personal property. Not his. Just keep your nose out of my way. He is really a nuisance for sure. I just don't my vietnamese neighbor, who always stick his nose to somebody's business.

Their are really neighbors who enjoy doing it over and over again with their neighbors. They enjoy in annoying people and if you reacts with their try, it means they are effective nuisance. But, it is also good to have a heart to heart talk to them instead of tolerating them to clear out really their intention on making us angry with their motives.

hi there, there are some differences in neighbourhood between urban and rural life. i live in rural life, where maximum families are dependent to cultivation. there are only two BA passed students in this village( 45 families) and both are me and my sister. so we have to maintain a distance from our neighbours. someone can say that it is wrong. but if we go near too near to them than we feel that their rustic attitudes will influenced us. but it is not that we are not well connected. we help every families in their certain problems anf we alspo get their helps.

Usually if you live in a city neighbors house are closer to each other but are not really interested in knowing their nearest neighbors are usually busy working while the kind of neighbors in rural house as what you say live in distant or only few but you know each family. Mostly have no jobs and engage in gossips as their past times.

There are a few of this type in our neighbourhood. They don't see eye to eye, but with us all of them are good. We are always helpful to everybody and so everyone respects us. We never expects anything in return and we are never in their company. We always keep to ourselves. Only when someone needs our help we indulge in a manner where others are not affected. We do justice to all and so our words carry weight.

No, I am always in my room seldom I go out and I am not aware what's my neighbor's are talking of. Though here in our village people are seem one big family.
There are few who don't have work or not so busy that's why they engage themselves in this kind of habit to avoid boredom but many are doing this to backbite because of insecurities.
Yes for people in some places are having this crab mentality. To gossip, backbite, scattered issues to make a bad reputation to a certain person. But in here the person itself doing this bad habit is obviously the one in bad reputation in the community.
I'd rather concentrate here in mylot and forget that gossiping I make this position whenever I'm on. I type everything I want to say so long as not violation to TOS then presto I make money!

That is better we need to concentrate on our own business rather than looking around to sniff something from neighbor which will cause us troubles. Nosy neighbors somehow have values they are the first one who will know if their is something wrong and you can turn to help,because they are always watching their neighbors, just like an instant security.
