[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbors want to have the kind of street where we all have dinner together or throw a block party. I do not. The issue is partly their personalities, and partly that when I'm at home I just like to be quiet. But, I do want to have the kind of neighbor relationship where we can grab packages for each other, water the garden, etc. I have taken care of everybody's cats when they vacation. I have several people's spare keys for emergencies. I want to be a good neighbor! I'm friendly! I just don't want to go out to dinner or play cards. I have tried saying I'm unavailable, I have tried going once for form's sake, I have tried saying "oh that's not my thing." The summer invitations and offers to schedule around my availability are becoming stressful and I'm avoiding the front yard so I don't have to defend my calendar. What do I do?[/quote] So, this character defect of yours, OP: Were you born this way? Or did this nasty personality develop over time?[/quote]
