Are people bored?

You have the right not to accept a request for friendship on Facebook. You decide. 

Some people are so pathologically social that they would send it automatically out to all friends of friends...

I hope you can still find a quite spot in your home. I also don't like it much when there's too much noise in the gardens of the neighbours, but then I also don't mind staying in. 

My brother in law had this weird way of talking to me... 'I spoke to a guy, he's at least as clever as you are'... I broke contact with him, so happy about that.

Easier said than done, if you're having these thoughts of not wanting to live, better go see a doctor. I did, I talk to a psychologist once a week and I take anti-depressants. And I'm doing rather fine. If I look back now at things that used to get under my nerves then, and I laugh at now, it's amazing. 

If your mind is chaotic, don't try to take on more than you can handle. Make sure the important stuff is controlled. 

Thanks. I dont want more tablets that's all the drs do. Counsellors never understood how I thought so I gave up after starting a new with the 6th person.

My husbands off work still. Our kids at home. I go to the garden to read, I'm reading war and peace at the moment. Yet I go in the garden and lay so no one can see me unless they really try to peer in. Today an old guy who i avoid as he has a weird thing for me and a history in the neighbourhood tried talking to me....i went in. Then another neighbour i like tried chatting about fences. Then another neighbour chatted about weeds and the council. I just want peace. I tried ignoring people and wearing headphones but social Distancing missed our town as they simply come close!

War and Peace, what kind of title is that for a book? So all-encompassing... Did he also have other books, like 'Earth and Ocean', or 'Day and Night', or 'Summer and Winter'... just trying to be funny. 

I do hope the neighbour that tried chatting about fences was given a proper feedback... how about: 'Ah, fences, what a great thing they are, I wish mine was just a bit higher so nosy neighbours  would not be able to engage in smalltalk with me... '...

At 20.00 the neighbours come out and do engage in smalltalk, the children are then running around, if one of these 10 people gets covid-19, they all do and probable the older ones (80-plussers) will be in dire need of ventilators...

We tend to call that time of the day (20:00 => 21:00) The purge... oh, look, the neighbours are having 'the purge' again... I feel like going to ask them: is corona having dinner right now, so it's not out to infect y'all...

Thanks to the extra time I have with the lockdown, I started looking a bit into philosophy and religion. Probably Albert Camus 'la peste' is one I should get reading. 

One of our neighbours are a very loud family. They scream at each other even if they're 3 meters away from each other. They have a dog, the type that gets you in the news when it eats your baby or toddler... it's called Devil. I used to call him my little angel when I could still pet him, but they put up a fence. They shout at that dog, but that dog never listens, so the shouting is pointless. It's also not like he does things you should not expect from a dog. Sometimes I make sarcastic fun and I say: 'devil, spit out that little toddler's hand, bad dog... 

I can still get in the house and relax. So that's rather ok. 

We have the same here, children going around in groups but the parents wont send them to school due to they may catch the virus lol. We had a group of kids aged roughly 10 to 16 all drinking alcohol and smashing bottles. Their not from our road but a neighbour told their parents and the parents said she shouldnt be spying on children! These kids were screaming and shouting as obviously drunk and smashing glass everywhere! How can you not miss that? I said it's fine, next time we just call the police. They only came back once then!

War and peace so far is giving me another insight into how strange human behaviour is haha

If it's about the weather, I tend to bring the conversation towards global warming. 

I also have the feeling most NT-people need this smalltalk to constantly have the feedback that they are real, observable, and able to communicate with their surroundings... like they live in constant fear of disappearing when they would pass a stranger without acknowledgment...

Would be an idea, if somebody says hi, reply with: 'I saw you, you're still there, nothing to worry, I heard you, voice still working aok, now carry on!'... 

I love to joke about this, but just giving a standard reply is probably the best thing in this situation. There's lots of people left that like discussing the absurdity of being alive, you can read Camus and enjoy it.
