The Uninvited Neighbour

Today's Tip

French apartment buildings hold an annual fete des voisins, and beyond it the convention is that neighbours are greeted but not befriended by default. Proximity does not create obligation.

Try This

Greet everyone in your building by name for a month without extending any invitation. Bonjour in the stairwell is the entire social contract, and it is not optional.
