[quote=Anonymous]Op, I’m mostly introverted and frankly I like a bit of distance from my direct next door neighbors. It doesn’t sound like you gel with them anyway. So I’d lay off the efforts to befriend them. You can be friendly and neighborly, but you don’t have to be hanging out.

As for your daughter, it sounds like they interact because of school and activities.  For this reason it may be helpful to facilitate some kind of relationship, preferably under your watch, on your property.  I say this as someone who has a daughter who struggles with social interactions, making friends, knowing how to join a group.  I had to really coach her through it all and hosted a ton of play dates when she was young.  Don’t pass on your insecurities, but just give her the tools and strategies she needs to manage various social interactions.  Give her books if needed.  And then also facilitate extending her friend circle to some other friends- ones she naturally gels with, are nice, and share similar interests.  It really helps to like their parents too.

Good luck OP. And don’t move- that’s crazy talk.[/quote]
