An antisocial woman in her late 20s lived in a quiet neighborhood with her equally introverted husband. When a new neighbor moved to town, publicizing their pro-life and other beliefs through signs and flags on their property, she didn’t think much of it. That’s until the neighbor was at her door asking for friendship. itch
They’d Lived There A While
The woman said, “My husband (36m) and I (29f) have lived in our neighborhood for about 5 years.” They loved their neighborhood. It was nice and quiet and allowed them to live the quiet life they had always dreamed of. It was quite literally their dream home, and they were so grateful to be in it.
They Weren’t A Social Couple
She and her husband were both equally introverted, enjoying the quiet life at home. Living in the outer part of town gave them a more laid-back existence, as their neighbors also tended to keep to themselves. But then their new neighbors moved to town…
Her Neighbors Weren’t Afraid Of Who They Were
One day, the woman was on her way home when she noticed a difference in one of her neighbor’s houses. It seemed a family had moved in with young children. But what was more noticeable was the political signs they exhibited in their front yard. They were very obviously pro-life and proud of it.
The Neighbor Wanted To Be Besties
The woman knew they were at opposite ends of the political spectrum but didn’t think much about it, seeing as she would hardly have to speak to that neighbor. But a couple of days later, she answered the door to what she thought was a package and found a smiling, fast-talking lady.
She Wanted Friends
Facing the woman was her new neighbor, who had knocked to introduce herself. They were about the same age, but the neighbor had three children and was a stay-at-home mom. She began talking a mile a minute, asking the woman about the area and telling her about her life. This was already exhausting the woman as she just wanted to be left in her lovely quiet home.
They Just Didn’t Mesh Well
The woman was uncomfortable when the neighbor asked her about herself, clearly trying to make a connection. But every time the woman shared something personal, her neighbor looked more and more disappointed. They were clearly very different people, and the neighbor seemed to be trying to push them together. The woman thought there must be other, more similar people around that this neighbor would gel with more.
But Then It Got Uncomfortable
The woman said, “She asked if I had children (no), did we plan on having children (no), do I know any of the social activities in the area (no), do I know any local mom groups (confused no), do I ever babysit (hard no).” All of these questions left the woman exhausted and confused, she really didn’t want anything to do with this neighbor.
They Didn’t Like Much Of Anything
Pouting, the neighbor pointed out that the woman and her husband didn’t like much of anything. The woman laughed, informing her that they kept to themselves and liked to live a quiet life. But if the woman was looking for friends, she should go to the center of town where there was a school. There was lots more going on over there. The woman and her husband didn’t feel like it was their responsibility to make sure their neighbors had enough of a social life.
She Invited Her For Coffee
But the neighbor was persistent. She wanted to get to know the people closer to home, so she invited the woman for coffee and to meet her husband and kids. But things got awkward when she said no. The woman informed the neighbor that she didn’t think they had much in common and didn’t see them ever becoming friends. The woman again directed her to the town center, where she was sure some mom groups existed.
This Stung
The neighbor was visibly upset and called the woman and her husband rude before storming off. Later on, the woman felt a little bad, but it wasn’t the fact that the neighbor was a mother or had different beliefs; the signs put her off. She didn’t want to be involved with someone who was “Visibly and enthusiastically cheering about destroying the lives of thousands of women.” But all the same, she knew she had been harsh. She asked the internet if she was in the wrong.
And The Internet Had Thoughts
One person said, “Points to her for having the guts to straight up knock on a door and ask to be friends. I haven’t been that brave since I was ten.”
Others Chimed In
Another supported the woman, saying, “She literally came into your space and is pouting when you’re uncomfortable yet honest? I can already picture the type of friend she’d be.”
