Knowing is a big word I’d say. I’ve seen them multiple times in the hallway or passing on the stairs. We say hello to each other, but that’s about it. So, I know who lives next door to us, but I don’t know what kind of people they are.
We live in a small village, so there’s no escaping each other. Everybody knows everybody, so naturally we also know our neighbours. We often go over for tea or they’ve even had dinner at our house on multiple occasions.
Yeah, I’m familiar with my neighbours. We’ve exchanged greetings and had a few brief conversations here and there. It’s nice to have a friendly relationship with the people who live nearby. We might not be close friends or hang out often, but it’s good to know there’s someone nearby if I ever need help or just want to chat. Overall, it’s a pretty chill atmosphere in our neighbourhood.
In all honesty, I don’t really know my neighbours that well. Living in a big city in a high-rise building, it’s quite common for everyone to keep to themselves. We might exchange nods or brief hellos in passing, but beyond that, there isn’t much interaction. It’s just the nature of city living, I guess. We’re all wrapped up in our own lives and schedules. But hey, it’s not necessarily a bad thing – it’s just a different kind of community vibe compared to living in a smaller, more tight-knit neighbourhood.
