One Word..."MOVE" |

I grew up with a series of unpleasent neighbors and the most reliable method of dealing always seemed to be a combination of avoidance and awareness.
For example, the middle-aged couple living next door who enjoyed shouting at me when I showed up peddling Girl Scout cookies - avoided them.
For example, the guy across the road who liked to peep in the windows to watch people - we kept an eye out for him AND made sure we had good solid blinds and curtains.
For example, the lady down the road who went off her meds and ran out the door dressed like Rambo, shouting about aliens, and firing a rifle - kept an eye on her (avoided the hell out of her, too). That roadsign never was the same after that...
I made it through childhood with these neighbors with really few incidents by trying to be aware of what was going on and keeping myself away from unsafe/unsavory neighborhood characters. Worked for me, anyway...
Good luck with your neighbors! I hope they're not vicious or litigious like the ones my cousin is dealing with right now - they're saying that she's sneaking into their yard at night and pooping on their lawn! (They're flat out crazy. They even have blank photos they gave to the judge as proof that she's doing this.) |

Be nice to them. Fake it as hard as you can, but be pleasant, friendly, and considerate.
This does not mean you need to invite them in, or go over there. You don't need to agree on anything or party together, either.
The idea is that people like people who like them. If you seem to like them, they will usually start treating you differently, and maybe you can live side by side in peace. |

Try to ignore them. Try to avoid shouting matches in the front yard. Hope to God they move soon. |

don't pay any attention to them...I'm sure they don't care if you like them or not. Just b/c you're neighbors doesn't mean you have to be best buds |

Tactic 1- go out of your way to be nice to them. Believe it or not this has worked in 2 cases, and helped me realize that there were reasons for them to act like they did that made sense- and they weren't as bad as I thought either.
Tactic 2- ignore them. Works sometimes if #1 just can't.
Tactic 3- move. (the new neighborhood will probably have at least one idiot neighbor in it too) |

in our neighborhood, we don't even know our neighbors. if they do something so annoying that you actually notice them, ask them to stop and if they don't, destroy them first when you take over the earth. |

Try to find common ground. Maybe you could become friends. Someone needs to take the first step towards peace, let it be you. |

Try to ignore them. I used to live next door to my ex-husbands brother. Those people were loud and obnoxous, and i had to be nice. My sister in law would come over and wake up my kids cause she has a loud mouth. They would invite themselves over for our bbq's. It was crazy. If all else fails MOVE! Good Luck. |

If your neighbors are directing any sorce of negativity towards you or anyone in your house hold the last thing to do is ignore them, you fight fire with fire, heres something that ticks my neighbors off all the time, I go into my backyard when they're in their backyard and I talk bad about them on the phone sometimes no one is even on te phone but I talk about them neway say your obnocuious rude comments out loud yea their dog looks like a mangy rag or they never mow their lawn it looks like crap, I've been thinking of calling the health department. Those are some example of my phone conversations that I have outloud its halarious they cant do anything except slam thier doors and nothing more its halarious lol try it |

believe me I've been there and done that girl....I really couldn't stand my neighbors but you don't want to move because of them or otherwise they'll think they are the reason you moved and then they'll get the best of you like they wanted. my advice is just to ignore them and act like they don't even exist that makes them mad as fire....but hey it works |

It is an anxiety issue that is better dealt with, so don't move away or ignore them. That's avoidance. Focus on being a little more assertive with everyone. Make it your goal to develop more self confidence. You'll start thinking more about important life issues, and that's when liking the neighbors will decline in (proportional) importance. |

Keep to yourself. Chances are, there is a good reason you don't like them, right? Well, then stay away from them. |

You should just learn how to deal with that neighbor or dont talk to that neighbor at all and that way it will keep the tension from rising |

try to put yourself in their shoes,and treat them with respect and kind heartedness.
it go's back to what mom always said
" treat people the way you would like to be treated"
you do not have to like someone to be kind and considerate to them. |
