Someone from our rowhouse locked all their familie's biciycles to our storageroom bicycle rests so that they take up all the space on the floor there, and succesfully prevent anyone from using one third of the rests - which are there so that people wouldn't store their bicycles on the floor to take up all the space.

Sometimes neighbours need to be punched in the face.

You don't have an angle-grinder? Or a stick welder and a knack for sculpture?

I like that idea! Brilliant! I like the "punch the neighbors in the face" idea too. Too bad I'm a more or less non-violent person.

You could also cut holes in the tires.

I favour the WD40 and a lighter.

Face feels like it's going to explode. Keeping me from sleeping. Ugh.

Just realised how low my self-confidence is right now. Guh.

People. I am going to give up with them.

Woooo. It's not that I feel bad in a whole! Just stuff I used to be like "YEAH WHATEVER" about suddenly seems like huge adn frightening tasks. Must get over myself.

Someone like me who is naturally introverted and doesn't often seek to make friends actually putting themselves forward tentatively to someone, and being utterly ignored.

Back to your shell, little hermit crab.

Back in your cage.

Keep trying! I used to be incredibly introverted, it just takes a bit of fighting. (It would seem it can get back on top of you, too. xD)

You can't let it get to you. It may not have anything to do with you. They may just be socially inept. Like me. The friends I have today are the ones that understand me, and that is very few. If they call and I'm not home, they know that I probably won't call them back. If I get an email from my friends, I may respond, I may not. I'm not trying to be an ass, and I'm not being lazy, it's just the way my brain works. Everything in my life is prioritized and structured, and any variation can throw a wrench in the system. So if someone calls me and I don't answer, I probably won't call back because it isn't part of my daily routine. I'm just a mental freak like that.

So don't take these things personally. You never really know what's going on in the heads of folks. It's always better to just assume they have some issues going on, not you.

I actually act like that as well. Sometimes it freaks me out to realize just how intense my routine can get, and how I act to maintain it.
As for keeptheflame, well I commend you for doing what you did, it takes alot of guts, and is no easy thing. I know it is something I have stuggled with.

Hey, you are obviously in good company here. People are very difficult, and it is hard for an introverted person to get out there because of the potential for pain (I know this from my own experience). As said earlier, it probably isn't you at all. And really, there is nothing wrong with being a hermit crab. I like them!

My personal cure for being introverted isn't something I'd reccomend. My grandfather went nuts, eventually killing my grandmother. Dad's terminally ill. Mom got killed. I had to get divorced. Putting myself out there and being shat upon doesn't really phase me anymore.
