Insanity is the norm here. The older woman neighbor spent 10 minutes messing with me by banging around pots and pans and listening in my apartment and getting in my head. Now in this land at least, she got her toehold in my mind and has power over me. At least in this land that’s how it works.
Does the TV talk to you as opposed to at you?
It does to me, if it’s mumbly. If I’m listening straight up then I don’t get secret messages.
But the inflammation in my brain has recently reached a point at which it doesn’t matter as much anymore. I just play with the messages and “interact” with the broadcast. Used to stress me out greatly, but now it’s not a big deal.
she wasn’t messing with you…nick, you are the problem…nobody has EVER messed with you…you always think someone’s messing with you…

With all due respect, when people are so sure of something and a 100% positive they are right, when they are so wrong, it’s OK because it fuels me on and makes me try harder and gives me confidence knowing people can be so fallible.
Be civil and supportive peeps. Flag if something crosses boundaries but please be kind to each other.
It was a bit harsh @jukebox and we can’t know how others live their lives just as we don’t diagnose or tell people what is best for them. Peace peeps.

i apologize nick, it’s just that you have been saying neighbors have been messing with you for decades…see a pattern??
Obviously we’re not in your shoes so we can’t tell if this is real or imagined.
But ask yourself, does it make sense that your neighbours would constantly go out of their way to torment you? In other words, they have nothing better to do with their lives than to make you miserable?
Some of the stuff may be occurring, maybe once in a while…at other times, probably not. You’re like a cat with it’s back up, just looking for the next shoe to drop around the corner.
I think Juke has a point about the pattern stuff with you. He could have been more subtle, but I think he was on the mark.
When you feel your tenants are acting up, just go outside for a walk or put on headphones. Don’t let others live rent free in your head.
If you’re not listening intently. Your brain is filling the white noise background into something it’s not

There’s some metaphysical chicanery going on. It gets really bad. Like, straight up parallel conversations going on.
The same used to happen to me; if it happens these days I’m so desensitised to all of it, I don’t react anymore

@77nick77 you assume that sounds from other apartments are directed at you. I doubt any of your neighbors think of you at all. Pots clacking, coughing, and laughing are normal actions.
Maybe you need to stop listening to your neighbors. I doubt they spend their day waiting to see what noise you will make next.
People don’t spend their days doing normal things to torture neighbors. They do normal things to live. And you’ve said this happens everywhere you’ve lived. That means you’re the one with the issue- hearing things and thinking they’re about you.

@77nick77 Dear zombie is right. It seems to be a common theme for people like us.
I was paranoid when I first moved in my flat with this too. Just live your own life mate. Its almost a delusion of grandeur that we would even think someone would go to so much trouble to make a noise to annoy us.
Roxanna springs to mind with the same on here.

My mom bangs pots and pans together, cusses, and slams cabinets when she’s upset but it is not aimed at neighbors. It’s just her venting. It’s probably not personal
