Have you ever had to deal with a toxic neighbour? I’ve had to deal with a few of them in the past, but there is one I am dealing with right now who takes the cake.
Initially, something seemed off about the neighbour, but there was nothing that screamed trouble. As time wore on, my sixth sense kicked in and my suspicion of him kinda grew. By the time 8 months rolled around, I was proven right. We’ve hated each other since.
He now goes out of his way to try to get a reaction out of me. It’s kinda scary in a way, because at times, it comes across as an obsession. He has a wife and kids, but has absolutely no problems using them as pawns in a game only he knows the rules to. It’s now gotten to the point where I’ve gone to a higher authority to go after him (which he is aware of), but it hasn’t phased him at all. In a way, it only seems to have made him more motivated.
We believe he’s a narcissist (he’s been displaying a lot of their qualities). We’ve been trying to ignore his attempts to get us to react to things that he believes will set us off. While we hope he’ll dig his own grave and bury himself (as those who get cocky do), we’re aware that most likely won’t happen. For now, we’re choosing to ignore and go about our business.
