The rules are made up and the points don't matter

You speak on behalf of others that have stated the opposite and you speak to my motives incorrectly.

I don't wish for people to normalize this as the end of the symptoms cause it creates a world where people who are suffering as well don't have others to look to for having to go through the struggle of bettering oneself. People are in here normalizing the act of the anxiety and not the stress of rising above it.

I'm responding to the conversation as it is happening in here. You are responding to how you wish it was because it's easier to blame the squeaky wheel.

Expensive, cold, and dark. Otherwise sounds fantastic.

It does feel like it might be, but I don't know if it really is.

The UK generally has extremely good fire safety regulations, so if this was getting people killed I feel like it would have been the subject of some scrutiny.

The house I grew up in was this way, and the house I live in now with a new door (<10yo) is still that way.

As a kid I never thought about it, and I don't remember ever being stuck in the house.

The way people normally deal with keys is that everyone who needs a key has one of their own on their keyring, and there is usually also a 'house' key which stays by the door and isn't taken away anywhere.

Did she happen to mention there is, in practice, a difference between casual and formal communication? And that different rules apply to each?

Completely depends on culture. Even in the US, I like working in the northeast because people ignore each other and it's fantastic. In the south it actually impedes my work because it seems like everyone wants to have meaningless conversations all the time.

Please don't misquote me, I said nothing of the sort.

*Isn't necessarily means >0% chance
*Probably means >50% chance

They are not the same

You're not a threat and you don't set my nervous system into meltdown. It's the level of abstraction that I need to interact at all.

Or God forbid someone just disagree with the way you said something and express it without needlessly aggressively defending of it because it's not ok apparently to adjust your point.

We need not rely on pedantry to cover why your statement was poorly received in some ways. In either casual or formal I still find your comment distasteful and I would not be alone even if you are not in support. If you think I misunderstood your point remake it for better understanding or else you insist that that was the one you wanted to make without change.
I just don't care when people get upset when I push back against their engrained thoughts cause it truly doesn't matter if you think of me poorly for as long as you remember my existence. My point is to be opposing you in that statement.

I'm not going to back off of it because you think mine invalid. That was likely always to be the case no matter the tone or verbage I used. This it's not for you. It's so the pushback exists at all. So that there isn't a world with only your opinion and take in it.

So I put it back into the world again.
No it's not normal to be so against your neighbors existence that you consider them buffoons for existing in a social space to the point that you simply have to wait for them to leave, and no that's not normal of social anxiety to have no mechanism to handle that other than seething anger at others.

People who say Lemmy is not a social media site might just be right.
Because apparently the people here do not want to be social they just want the media.

The whole neighborhood, for the most part, consists of friends. It's employee housing for a ski resort so they're all at least coworkers, with the exception of the cop who doesn't do anything but is used as a threat against everyone else by the landlord and me who's an unemployed arguably crazy person who's trying to get on disability for the seizures and is allowed to stay since I sleep on my dad's couch and he gets along great with the resort.

I think you might have taken the cartoon too seriously in the first place... it's literally a "cartoonish exaggeration", we don't literally hate these people, we are fully aware they are normal and doing normal things... though from your posts, it does seem like taking things literally is possibly a common occurrence in your life. We are having fun here, or at least the rest of us are, we thought you were too.

Not me. I even talk to people in the bathroom.

You are their neighbor and they are yours. Why should they say hi first and not you ?

no cap, it's really skibidi

Never really got this myself. Maybe it's not a rational thing since who gives a fuck?

I'm usually rushing out somewhere when I leave the house and a few of my neighbors are talkers, which I normally don't mind at all. But sometimes it makes more sense to just wait inside for a minute rather than get stuck in a 5 minute conversation.
