Psychoanalysis of my neighbor?

Question

My mom had mental illness and anytime we asked her to do something in a better or safer manner her first reply was 'ok, i will try'. I have a neighbor who is 30 years old and drives a car. He used to knock on my door a lot and complain a lot about our neighbors and that was my first indicator that something was different. So, I started wanting to figure out what was up. I finally had to stop giving him so much of my time in order to stop knocking on my door or bombarding me outside. The other day I decided to be proactive and ask him to do something different in that he not shake his keys 'unnecessarily'. I expected a reply like, 'ok, i will try'. The only reply I got was, 'am I bothering you' with a very direct stare. My gut tells me he was sincere but it still made me uncomfortable because his reply was so robotic and not friendly. I decided to let it go at that point. Prior to this day his mom left me a message one night to ask me to check on my neighbor and I did not have her number so I star 69d her number. I was taking my time to help her out. When I suggested she give me her number she said, 'no, that is ok'. I feel that was my way of trying to subtly get information on my neighbor so I could understand him better. This situation is so odd. I would have thought his mom would have gladly taken the opportunity to help me understand him better. Am I wrong on this?

Answer 2

It seems to me that your neighbour is diplomatically asking you to back off a little. I would do so if it were me. Regards UK

Answer 3

I recommend searching the Internet for "co-dependancy" and "adult children" and the disease to please other people.

It appears that one individual in this triangle is over invested in other people's problems.  There should be more limits and more self responsibility.

What benefit will it bring to your life and your goals if you understand your neighbor better?  If you understood your neighbor 1% better each day, would it help you?  If you appear weak or vulnerable or "usable" or open to manipulation to another individual, especially if you are living in the city or in an urban area, people will take advantage of you.  It's sad but true.  

A word on other people.  Some people cannot be understood, and this is assuming that they are even open to analysis.
