Nextdoor Neighbour From Hell

You may feel the same way about animals as I do - I care deeply about animals and insects.

I didn't know that nextdoor was dog sitting, I just heard a dog barking and whining in distress. I went next do to see if there was a dog there, and yes there was.

My nextdoor neighbour had seen me on his doorbell camera, and he called me to ask if everything was OK - I said yes, and I was just concerned about the dog. He appeared OK with this, and said that he'd come home to check on the dog.

He came home and rang my doorbell. I answered the door only for my nextdoor neighbour to start screaming in.my face calling me a liar and a bull sh*ter, and why was I going to call the police and RSPCA when the dog is fine? I didn't even say anything about calling the police or RSPCA, I just heard the dog and wanted to know if it was OK. He then continued screaming at me for being in his garden - it's private property, and looking at his house. He then went, but started sending me nasty text messages.

It's been a few days since the incident, but I feel absolutely heartbroken, and I keep crying. I can't avoid him, as we live in terraced houses - I can even hear him walking up and down the stairs. He's scared me, I'm so upset and frightened. What can I do?

  • Dear Behind The Mask,

    I've joined this Society due to neighbor issues and that's why your tittle got my attention. 

    I send you a hug, since it was so violent the reaction of this "human". I can feel that sadness and that you cannot stop crying and i'd be scared to. At the same time, i would feel sad since it is unfair to change our life or feel guilty as a consequence of someone reaction.

    Nowadays, i'm finding some peace wearing headphones, listening to for example Calm (meditation app) or piano music of my favorite artist. And go out of your house using them. 

    Hope you feel better Slight smile
