This is correct but yet a completely foreign concept to some. In less affluent cultures this is how people conduct their lives because their survival very much depends on it. But in our modern, increasingly individualistic way of life going through the discomfort of "getting to know" your neighbors carries with it more cons than pros. You likely don't share any common interests or goals & are way too busy from $DAYJOB to build common ground. That same $DAYJOB may eventually pull you to a different city or state causing the weak connection you struggled to make to fade away. Building relationships with others takes time and effort but the norms we've settled on in society make it very challenging to do so.
