However, it does exist that neighbors in the same building or even on the same floor do not communicate with each other. When this resident is a busy worker or a very independent young man, the concept of neighborhood communication between these two groups of people is relatively weak. But if you say that you live in an elderly community or a community with similar social status, and then most residents are families, it is impossible not to have such a situation.
For those who really don't communicate much, it's because they are in a life experience of high-intensity work, all their energy is used to cope with their work, interpersonal communication at work and their most basic arrangements, and they have no extra energy to take care of people living around them. For them, the place to live is not home, but a place to stay. When you have no feelings for the place where you live, you certainly won't have a deeper desire to communicate with your neighbors.
And when you really regard a residence as a place to settle down, you will always have some contacts with people around you, because this residence is no longer a simple foothold for you.
Of course, compared with the past, there is indeed a stronger sense of indifference. Personally, I think it is because the rapidly developing information society makes people's mental state in a simple but substantial state. People spend a lot of energy in their minds every day to deal with the impact of these complicated information and various exchanges on the Internet, so our desire to communicate with people will become weaker than before.
