All my neighbors are loud with families and parties and maybe that's part of why the noise bothers me is that I'm alone, but it is triggering for someone who's so quiet and conscientious. I'm starting to be louder in person when I see them. So they know that I'm still there, because I'll know something happened to them if I ever sleep through the night, but my silence would go unnoticed. You feel me?

God I’m sorry that sounds awful. I like Prods advice. No need to match their vibe. Praying for your peace

I feel you, Jay. I used to hate being alone, always needed someone around or I felt like I didn’t exist. But I’ve learned there’s a difference between being alone and being lonely, and honestly now I love my peace. That said, you don’t have to just tolerate things that mess with your peace. If the noise is disrupting your life, maybe let them know. Do you like to read books?
You get it.
Invite yourself to one of their parties. Bet they won’t mind
