New Neighbour & Food

I don't mean to be horrible but a new male neighbour recently knocked on my door to introduce himself and gave me a plate of food.

I wish I refused it but was being polite. Now I have a plate to return.

I don't mind someone introducing themselves but he's invited me over and asked me if I want more food.

I don't want food. I don't want new friends. I just want to live here without hassle.

This is the second time this happened this happened. Do people not realise that it's not a nice thing and makes people uncomfortable?

Cultural, my neighbours brought round amazing food for Eid. Another told me to help myself to her overhanging apples, so she always got pies/apple sponge from me. If you don’t want more, just tell him you’re on a very restrictive diet due to allergies. Dear me.

I accept it was well intended. I just think that perhaps some men have very little awareness when calling to a woman's home when she's there alone and don't consider that it might make people feel uncomfortable. That's all.

I wasn't rude and never would be. I just gave to bring back the plate.

Well maybe the delivery man or post man shouldn't come to your door.

You are well and truly a miserable Debbie downer
