So many hugs.
What do your other neighbours think about this? Is it possible you can get some kind of help from a neighbour, such as accompanying you when you take out your rubbish bins?
Unfortunately not, there's a few NQR people here and the quiet ones like me also keep to themselves. I've found it best honestly, to avoid neighbourhood drama or unwanted advances. Apparently though there have already been complaints so other people have been reporting this
Get to know those quiet neighbours. You and they will be safer. At the moment you are all each of you alone trying to cope. Loud obnoxious people thrive when they see everyone is separate and afraid. Band together and the obnoxious people likely won't even start.
Maybe you could drop a note in a neighbour's letter box?
I’d really rather not buddy up anymore. I’m a more introverted person, have hit my tolerance for people and even some of the quiet ones aren’t trustworthy or I find myself caregiving extensively for others with energy I don't have.
It sounds harsh but I'm exhausted and trying to protect myself from that.
hugs, I understand
Thanks. It's shit eh. Hopefully one day I'll find somewhere else where I can just keep to myself
