Neighbors are the people who live near us. In your opinion, what type of neighbor is the best to have?
- someone who is quiet
- someone who we are similar to
- someone who is supportive
In the modern world the status of neighbor has radically changed, many people sometimes don’t even know their neighbour’s faces. Even so, the characteristics of an excellent neighbor aren’t written down, nonetheless, the typical way that some people behave in this role may disturb others. In my personal opinion, neither a one who is acting like a ghost, none the one we can compare ourselves to, aren’t as good as a person who would cover your back in any situation.
To begin with, many situations throughout our ordinary life may contribute to terrible consequences and having a supportive neighbor may not only drive us away from those accidents but also create a fantastic friendship.For instance, forgetting keys are the most common scenario for young adults, who are busy with their work lives, therefore if our neighbor is invisible or doesn’t want to take responsibility for our keys, this accident may create a domino effect and lend into something bigger, than one lost key. The awful consequences is not something one would want, but if the neighbor is kind enough to take responsibility for your keys and have a duplicate, the whole event may be demolished within the seconds.
Secondly, neighbor is a role that contains many others stereotypical behaviour, even so people sometimes may not realize, we subconsciously act like a typical role and say typical words in order to not be penalized for our misbehaviour. One example of that is being quit by ourselves. Day by day we walk out of our house, cheer up the neighbor we see towards us and disappear on the way to the job. Keeping distance creates a hole between the neighbor, our unwillingness to continue a dialogue and push an initiation to have a couple of tea together after a working day, may lend into making first steps on the way of neighbour relationships.
In conclusion, I want to say that a stereotypical behaviour wouldn’t help in a situation of socializing and maybe the most common, but truly best advice is just being yourself and passionate enough to find a common connection with people, because sometimes we may not realize how good people are without taking a deeper glance.
