It's stupid I was doing a home project just attaching a piece of siding near my roof. A nail got loose so there was a tiny gap in the siding. So I put on a screw in its place. I didn't have much screws on hand so I used this spare one that had a small darkish purple spot near the head. Anyway I got done. Didn't think much of it. Then hours later I start thinking to myself "oh no what if it rusts and breaks off". It's really not a big deal if that happens as I can just put another screw in but I've just been consumed by this thought. It's annoying I can't go a few minutes without having it on my mind. It's on repeat. This has been going on for 2 days.

I bought my current home going on almost 3 years now and have never once spoken to my 2 neighbors that live on either side of me. They're not too close to me but close enough where you can see their faces. Only interaction was when my neighbor saw me and waved. In my other place we lived very close so it was basically forced social interaction whenever one of us happen to step out of the house. Ideally my dream home would have no neighbors but I had to make compromises🥺 Is it customary that newcomers introduce themselves upon arriving or do the neighbors usually supposed to greet the new neighbors? I live in the south in a small town.
