Compared to them, I’m broke. My street has 1.8mil+ houses on it. We got a super good deal on this place, it’s getting leased to us at cost.
We have to drive 10 minutes away to go grocery shopping. Not that there aren’t stores around here, but who wants to pay $8.39 for a box of organic hippy brand cereal?
The street address?
I live in my house, they live in theirs.
Maybe you should try living in theirs
I’m normal /s
I’m weird. No sacaram intended.
It is so brave of you to share your struggle with that horrible affliction with us here.
I’m a foreigner. Most aren’t. I work from home. Most don’t. I drink kava everyday. I doubt anybody else does.
I’m on Lemmy

And they use… reddit… eew
Language skills. I suck at the local language. The rest of them are native speakers.
I live in my house, they don’t.
They’re conservative Christians and I’m a socialist atheist 🤷♂️
I don’t own a car
My neighbors come in two main flavors: they’re all either devoutly religious or think the moon is hollow. I’m just a regular atheist, guys, stop freaking out about fake shit!
Most are retired or have young kids. I am mid-career with no kids.
There are a lot of 1st - 3rd generation Indian and Pakistani Americans in the neighborhood. They are good at cricket and I am not, though that doesn’t stop me from joining in the occasional pickup game.
I go running in boring sweats and tees. I haven’t invested in “athleisure” leggings and whatnot; I don’t think I standout as a particularly fit or fashionable person. Neighbors frequently comment on how much exercising I seem to do. Which once they pointed it out, I don’t ever notice any of my neighbors exercising outdoors like I do. Unsure if they exercise indoors, at some gym somewhere, or just don’t at all.
or just don’t at all
I would wager it’s this one. I found that folks who noticed my activity levels tended not to be active themselves so it stood out to them.
What a strange question to ask
Can I ask what brought this about?
If I never eat another plantain or yuka again I’m ok with that.
I ride a bike as my primary form of transit.
