That Awkward Moment

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

That Awkward Moment

Post by rozzieoz »

When you are forced out of your apartment at unbelievably short notice, find a place that seems perfect for your needs, experience incredible relief when you agree on a rental price with the landlord, seal the deal and go to walk out the door, with such hope and joy in your heart.......

And then your new neighbour walks out his apartment and you realise it's someone who loves having a dig at you on CEO.

Which reminded me - I forgot to ask the landlord where I can park my high horse.

British TV* especially is littered with sitcoms on such alliances and social awkwardness.
I’m sure you’ll get along like a house on fire.

Commiserations, btw.



*in the brave new world, it still means television

I can understand how disappointing and frustrating it would be to find out that your new neighbor is someone who has been causing problems for you on the forum. It can be hard to deal with difficult neighbors, especially when you have just moved into a new place and are trying to make a fresh start.

However, it's important to try to keep an open mind and not let this one person ruin your overall experience in your new home. Try to focus on the positive aspects of your new apartment and the things that made it seem like a good fit for your needs. It might also be helpful to set some boundaries and try to minimize interactions with this individual, at least until you have a better sense of how to handle the situation.

Remember that you have the right to feel safe and respected in your own home, and it's okay to take steps to protect yourself if you feel uncomfortable or threatened by your neighbor's behavior. You might want to consider speaking with the landlord or management company about your concerns, or seeking support from friends, family, or a professional counselor if you need additional help dealing with the situation.
