I got injured pretty badly and singing has become off limits for me. I've tried some easy exercises but I can't do much.

What's worse, is that my neighbors deliberately smoke e.g. food and shit, and it's making me feel really sick and hard to talk.

They passive aggressively demand silence, but are allowed to do e.g. noisy construction work, hold mega parties and outdoor funnies with family whatever.

I'm sorry, but you don't consider yourselves noisy, but my practice and attempts in rehabilitation 'noisy'?

And you asked me to be quiet, but you're not doing the same?

Are you mentally alright?

In the meantime, I'm going to rest my voice as much as possible. I feel sad I'm losing a bit of timbre and projection.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the validation. I thought I was actually being a bad neighbour for not wanting any interaction! And guess what! Today they're having a huge birthday party for their kids in the backyard. We live in units!

My next door neighbors love to act as if they're friends with everyone and 'in control'. I can't even go to the library or a walk to the park without seeing them staring at me or coming up to me to say hi. I just moved back home, recovering from assault at work, and anyone with common sense would see that I am not in the mood to be jolly, let alone deal with strangers. Because of their constant harassment I had to start walking out from the back alley to go out.

Who knew with all their paper degrees respect and boundaries were not subjects that were offered within their degree programs. Oh wait, I thought that was part of the inherent requirements of any institution.

Then, construction started and they started having this huge drama about where a tree goes.

And they asked me, an injured person, to stay at home to watch over the fence so the construction people won't do anything. I'm sorry, but I already have my hands full with looking after myself.

The noise is also unbearably loud. Do they not care about me going deaf or something? They have several children, one which are grown up. Why not ask any of them to stay and look after the house?

What is your problem?

I'm seeing a therapist, and I often wonder, what is wrong with these people, yet I'm the person who is going to therapy and shit.

Thanks.
