A recent Reddit thread titled, "What is up with millennials not wanting to get to know their neighbors?" explored the question of why the largest living generation has a reputation for being less-than-friendly.
"As a millennial, my wife and I moved into a mixed [age] group neighborhood a few years ago," the original poster wrote, adding, "Over the years we’ve made a few friends with our neighbors mostly older like boomer or Gen X."
While the issue was puzzling to the OP, commenters weren't surprised. Quite a few admitted that they didn't go out of their way to socialize with their own neighbors, and the reason why was super relatable.
"I’m tired boss," declared one person. "I don’t ignore my fellow neighbours, and I will have the occasional small talk but thats as far as it goes. Im an Introvert and I work in the trades dealing with egos and a--holes for 8+ hours so my energy at the end of the day is virtually nonexistent. Just because I don’t talk to you does not mean I don’t like you. Im just spent."
"This is so accurate," a third commenter chimed in, explaining, "I am 'on stage' all day. When I get home, I don’t want to talk. I’ve got 2 kids and a husband so it’s unavoidable, but that day after two 12 hour shifts? I’m sitting on the couch all day in silence and decompressing while my kids are at school and husband is at work. Last thing I’d ever want to do on those days is go talk to my neighbors."
