What kind of neighbor are you?

If you want to have good neighbors, you must first become a neighbor as you expect them to be around you. There are some tips that will help you better integrate into your neighborhood and implicitly into the community you belong to. Quality relationships, developed with those around you, will positively influence the smooth running of things in daily life.

1. A sweet attention / a small loan
Whether you chose to move to another city, changed your neighborhood, or didn't know how to start a conversation with your neighbors, there are some simple methods that can open the door to communication and a lasting relationship. If you enjoy meeting new people and making friends, a cake, a knock on the door, a smile and an invitation to coffee will be enough to get you started.

Hand up who is an introvert. I definitely am. If you identify with me, you understand how difficult it can be to get to know others. In this sense, there is a good option: you can ask them for help in a domestic situation or you can borrow from them a tool / utensil you need and thus the exchange of information will be inevitable.

2. Save their name / Log in
Pay attention to what your neighbors are saying at a block meeting or in other situations. Thus, you convey to them that they are important to you and you appreciate them. Relax the atmosphere of your relationship, ask for their phone number, Instagram or Facebook account. In this way, you will be able to find out a lot of information about them, you will get to know them better, and the face-to-face discussions will flow.

3. Good neighbors rarely gossip
If your neighbor knows the problems and conflicts of most families in the neighborhood and still adopts an indifferent attitude and is a diplomat, then you can definitely rely on him to keep track of your personal life. This is a proof of maturity in the relationship with those around them, regardless of their context.

4. Help and say "Yes" whenever you can
The neighbor who says, "Let me know if you need anything," probably won't help you whenever you need something. You, on the other hand, are a good neighbor and really want to help.
To overcome meaningless discussions, anticipate their needs when possible. If they have children and they need someone to stay with them one night, and you know you're available, help them. If someone needs an object or anything else, show that you care.

5. A basis for conversation
Are you in the park in the neighborhood, are the children playing freely, and are you paying attention to them? Then it's time to start a conversation. You already have one thing in common and a basis for discussion. No matter where you start the conversation (whether it's children, a pet, a job in the same field, a common hobby, etc.), this is a natural opportunity to get closer to people in your community.

Most of the time, the neighbors can be your second family. This can be confirmed by me, a person who has been alone in a city for 5 years, away from family and, above all, an introvert. Regardless of the circumstances, the neighbors can turn into people you can count on in a time of crisis, regardless of the time. We all, whether we recognize it or not, need someone to know us, we need close physical support, both in difficult times and in those of joy.
