Moving to a new room is always stressful, but also room for new experiences. Building good relationships with your neighbors can be both exciting and rewarding. Who else will help you out when some products or tools are missing, you need to look after your child and discuss the latest news!
Instructions
Step 1
Try to remember your neighbors by sight. It is not easy in a multi-storey building, but at least you need to know your neighbors on the floor. When you meet them in the elevator, always say hello and smile. In the future, they themselves will begin to greet you in return.
Step 2
Be friendly. Start the conversation yourself, rather than waiting for someone to ask you something. Modern townspeople are taciturn people and for the most part closed. So you yourself will have to take the initiative. But people are drawn to positive and open interlocutors, so most likely they will not refuse to communicate. Start a conversation on topics close to neighbors: about children, if the neighbors have them, about a pet, or about the lack of hot water.
Step 3
Memorize the names of your neighbors. For a person, there are no sounds better than their own name, so you will be treated more favorably if you know the person's name and address him when you meet him by name.
Step 4
Make a request. If you have recently moved or are renovating your apartment, you can use this to make friends with your neighbors. Walk around the apartments and try to borrow something for a while. Surely you are missing some tools: drills, ladders. Politely ask your neighbors for them - someone will definitely have the item you need. After you return it, you can not only thank the neighbors in words, but also present a small gift, say, bake or buy a cake, invite them to tea or beer.
Step 5
Offer help yourself. An elderly person can be offered to go for food or medicine, a young mother - to sit with her baby or hold the door to the staircase in front of a stroller, a woman - to help with bags. This will not make your neighbor obligated to you, but it will definitely improve your relationship. From now on, you will be able to talk more warmly when you meet.
Step 6
If you have unnecessary things, this is not a reason to throw them away, especially if the thing is good. Or you have too large a harvest of fruits and vegetables, and there is nowhere to put it. Try to offer unnecessary things or crops to your neighbors, for sure someone will agree to take it. But even if not, you will have another reason to strike up an acquaintance and be useful to your neighbors.
Step 7
Owners of apartments in buildings under construction have the opportunity to get to know their neighbors even before moving. In social networks, there are now almost always groups of houses and neighborhoods under construction. There you can find people who will live nearby and get to know them better in advance, and if people turn out to be pleasant, then make an acquaintance. Do not give up this opportunity, because you live next to.
