They simply don't yet know they want to be your friend. Abduct them and bring them on an adventure, use that time to learn how your lives can mesh together.
You can't go wrong with motorcycle journey and/or hiking up a mountain.
You aren't wrong! Only problem is that I don't know how to drive a motorcycle and we don't have mountains in my country xD
But in all seriousness, I genuinely think they don't want to know us, and I want to respect that. Maybe they will warm up to us eventually or maybe we will remain strangers, but I'll continue to smile and wave whenever I see them. So far the only living beings who's given a fuck about us are local birds, who use our garden for nesting, a neighbor's dog who spent the first three months of us living here, barking at us everytime it saw us and a neighbor kid who was super chatty about princesses one day when we were out gardening.
The dog doesn't even come over to look at us anymore. I'm actually starting to miss him barking at me every single day. The only time he came out barking recently was when a delivery guy came to drop off a new fridge for my boyfriend. Then all of a sudden, Mr Dog could bark. The driver was scared, while I was low key jealous. Like bruh, at least he acknowledges that you exist, mate. Do you know how devastating it is to move in and getting used to this big dog greeting you everyday and then one day, all of a sudden, he just stops giving a fuck about you and ignores your presence??? It's bad enough that the human neighbors pretend I don't exist, but now even the guard dog is like: bitch, you boring.
Dx
My boyfriend thinks its awesome that our neighbors don't care about us and would hate my dream scenario of casually inviting people over for a beer or coke on the veranda and chatting about whatever.
It's not like I want people to run through our house all the time and us never getting any privacy, but I would like to have spontaneous chats over the hedge a couple of times a month at least. Even every second month would be cool. But you can't force people to want to what you want, so eh.
