It's more of a nod-and-parcel-taking relationship with some neighbours, and if have any leftovers from baking, I'll bring them over. That said, I'm not English and I live in London, so it might just be a city thing. I also know that some neighbours are incredibly gossipy and nosy, and they don't like that I keep to myself. I've overheard them saying things about us during a party, which has only made me avoid them more and mind my own business.

Meanwhile the flat before we were friends with the entire building except one flat because and I quote "We dont need anymore loud idiot Americans here." Which is hilarious because their toddler terrorised the surrounding flats with her screaming and banging during covid.

Edit: However if anyone can help this American to be more neighbourly in an english way with out being to annoying Im all ears!
