Giving someone a good deed – but it is better to make sure that the other person really wants to be helped.
Homer Simpson and Ned Flanders in real life? It looks.
If we ask anyone if you prefer to have a kind and sympathetic neighbor, or a always evil and vindictive neighbor, it is almost certain that everyone would prefer the first answer.
But having a kind and always helpful neighbor can be a problem. By the way, it’s already being a problem for someone.
One man published his unusual case in Reddit: he and his wife are think home (they love) because they have a Neighbor “too friendly”.
He is close to 70 years old, the couple is in their 30s.
Context: O neighbor feel alone. It was left widower five years ago, It has no children and renovated This year.
The lonely neighbor has very little to do and no company. It needs much more attention than the one the couple wants to give you, summarizes the portal.
And this need for attention It was visible on the day they went to that house: on this first day, the neighbor appeared.
When they make a barbecue outside, the neighbor always appears, asks what is happening and is gone a bit.
The problem is: the neighbor wants intervene In everything the couple does.
“And it only gets worse,” adds the report.
Help? No thanks
Giving someone a hand is a good action, but it is better to make sure that the person really wants some help.
First example: One day, the lonely neighbor borrowed a leaf blower, a device to take leaves out of the calendar. The couple lent. After a little, there are noises on the roof of this couple’s house. He was the neighbor there on the roof of their house, cleaning the calers with such a blower who borrowed.
In another situation, the surveillance cameras warned. The alarm fired, the couple – who wasn’t home – went to see what it was. And what was it? The neighbor was installed there at the door cleaning the garden.
O insulation and need to do something, to be useful. The sense of community is different.
So they are thinking about selling the house. With disgust. Because they love the house and still bought it in 2017; That is, before the current “madness” of the prices of houses and high interest rates.
Among the comments, a pertinent suggestion: Volunteering. For the neighbor, of course.
The core of the question is that the oldest neighbor needs company. The couple does not want to be this company constant – and has the right to not want to. Just want to be at peace.
The neighbor has “more peace”.
