Examine what's preventing you from relating to your neighbors. In the past, people were friends with people older and younger than them and from different social classes. Millennials seem to have completely lost those skills which severely limits who they interact with.
- SillyUsername 3y agoWe get on reasonably well with one neighbour, who we often discuss house maintenance but whenever I've offered to help fix something in their house, they only want advice. Strangely this person will stop and have full on conversations for 30+ mins in the street with me, but nothing comes of it aside from catching up on local news. At the back of my mind I do wonder if not being more social is something to do with one of my kids being mentally disabled and somehow that's awkward or intimidating for them (e.g. they might not know how to react, or might think I'd like them to babysit etc). Maybe this will change and improve over time.
