We moved to a new county recently, we don’t know anyone it is a completely fresh start for us.
DH has said hi to several of the neighbours who stopped for a chat when they bump into each other on the drive ways, but when it’s me… silence.
Not one single neighbour has said hi back, even when we left the house together and immediate NDN was in their garden, we both said hi and the man only said hi to DH.
Im now wondering what on Earth we have walked into. None of the women speaking, none of the women being spoken to. Is this a thing? I find it odd and have annoyingly taken it personal as it’s been 4 sets of neighbours. I don’t have 5 heads or intimidate anyone or particularly unapproachable. I’m friendly to everyone and I’m really sociable so for this to happen it’s made me feel a bit uncomfortable. It appears just the men on the road speak to each other and the women are ignored like 1940s housewives.
After several attempts of saying hi to the couple next door and being ignored I completely stopped. I just awkwardly walked past them without either of us acknowledging the other.
Obviously we don’t want neighbour wars by confronting anyone, and I’ve accepted they don’t want to speak to me, but can anyone share their stories/theories before my head explodes with confusion!?
