Introduce yourself to a neighbor whose name you don't know.
Why this matters
Nodding hello for years is easier than saying your name once. After you do, the building feels a bit different.
What to do
Pick a neighbour you see regularly but do not know by name — on your landing, in your stairwell, in the yard. Knock or ring at a decent time: a weekday evening before eight, or Saturday during the day, not before ten. Have a reason in your hands: a bag of home-baked biscuits, a notice about a meeting, a question about the bins or the internet. Start with your name: I am Sergei, I live in number 32, I have seen you for years and never introduced myself. Keep it short, about five minutes, and do not go inside unless you are invited twice. On the way out, say they can knock if they ever need something — and mean it.
Afterwards
How many years have you lived side by side without knowing each other's names?
