Will you still say hello to a neighbour who insulted you?

@valherma00 why did he swear ? What had happened ?

@Traceyjayne maybe my approach wasn't the best but i left sticky notes when i heard a noise late in the evening, after 10 p.m. i did that for one summer and next year as well so, only 2times. having an experience with an older neighbour before, i didn't want to ring the doors but maybe i could have done it first. the third time in whole i actually rang, it was during the day, when i heard a really hard drilling, 1-2 years ago and i wanted to know what was really going on in this apartment, in a nice way. you know, this apartment doesn't even have a name label; i don't know their last name cause it's not writtenc and most apartments do have their name on the doors. back to the story, i rang several times and immediatelly, when he opened the doors he was dismissing me, saying what and telling me i better not leave sticky notes again (not sure how he knew that was me, i didn't sign the notes), plus saying f bomb. i tried to ask is he repairing something and he interrupted me he'll call the police if i keep doing this. i only asked is he the owner but he was talking to himself and after swearing i said he should look for a treatment.

i'm doing that with an older male neighbour and i started saying hello first, even though he insulted me but to a younger one, maybe of my age neighbour, i am not saying hello; he swore a couple of times and i hate seeing him but, the thing is, i sometimes forget how he looks like cause, i don't see him often. to his family members, i say hello but i wish they won't greet me sometimes and reminding me how their partner behaved towards me.

Crikey ....are they still doing that ! I remember reading your posts about it a while ago ....it must be frustrating for you.

@Traceyjayne Oh, it continues and still pretty bad. Fortunately, I have been in Florida since December 4th and will return for more of those lunatics on April 30th.

i have 2 male neighbours who insulted me with words when i tried to tell them or ask them about loud noise and some furniture in a staircase, which i believe it shouldn't be on the stairs and blocking people from coming through to someone's place of living. first neighbour is right next to me and after some time, i started saying hello to him but, just that and other, younger one is the one which face i forget and when i see him, i flinch a bit but i won't say hello to him and don't like when his wife or partner says hello to me, even in informal eay. i guess i'll never get an official apology from people who are violent and molestors but, okay, i know what i am and i know that there is no logical explanation for verbally insulting someone only cause they asked or pointed something to you and, yes, these people are fathers to their daughters but are easily insulting someones daughter. what a pair of gentlemen, right? in your case, i understand your hisband but i also agree that we can't escape from the way we were raised also, some lunatics, for sure, i'm sorry

i'm doing that with younger male neighbour who insulted me but with older one, close age to my father, i couldn't help, i greeted him a few times. although, in all honesty, the best day is when i don't see either of them.

yes, i'll greet them even though they never apologised for their words.

yes, i would ignore the one who insulted me too and you can't believe what a younger male neighbour who insulted me did; he said hello to my mother but not me. what a low person i still say hello to an older male neighbour next to me who insulted me but, it's only a greeting and i sometimes notice he opens the door but shuts down when i go out. i am glad you have some good people around you. o, names, they aren't that important this troubles me from time to time and i would like to go back living in a house cause, living in a building isn't always safe but living in a big space alone, it's not good. ah, love, come to me

@valherma00 You'll find the right person for you one day. I firmly believe that.

@DaddyEvil i thought about your words when i went into a tram today and there were mostly highschoolers there

some societies portray weakness different and i am glad you wisely explained that and i agree with you. i am doing me. only greeting, that's it.

yes, it's hard sometimes to extinguish what is pretending and what is being a bigger person. even though i was insulted by an older male neighbour, i started greeting him first but with younger male neighbour, i am not greeting him and i don't like when his wife or partner greets me, like it's all good and reminding me of his behaviour but, i'm trying to find a peace with the past.
