Today, many people do not know their neighbors. Why is this? What can be done about this?

Nowadays, it has been observed that

people

hardly connect with their nearby

residents

This

is

due to

the nature of the

job

and

personality

traits

of most

people

.

However

, it can be alleviated by initiating social media

connections

and forming

community

groups. I will explicate these in the coming paragraphs with a logical conclusion. There are two main factors, which could be; the nature of the

job

and

personality

traits

such

as introvert. To start with,

as a result

of the kind of

work

of some

people

, they barely have the time to relate with their neighbours. Some

residents

have a type of

job

that requires them to

work

for long hours and only give a day off to rest,

therefore

, they do not have the chance of relating with their fellow dwellers.

For instance

, a lady who works at a company leaves home to resume by 7am and comes back by 9pm rarely has time to associate with her by-dwellers.

In addition

, owing to the type of personalities

such

as introverts, some individuals tend not to have an interest in communicating and connecting with those in their neighbourhood.

For example

, an introverted man prefers to stay indoors in his apartment to get acquainted with his neighbours.

Thus

,

it is clear that

the form of

work

and

personality

traits

of many individuals can bring about fellow dwellers not relating with one another. There are some strategies that can be used to encourage

connections

among

residents

.

Firstly

, a form of social media

connections

can be made for those in a particular neighbourhood with a tight type of

job

so as to create a platform for communication and getting to know each other between them. To illustrate, a

community

that contains

people

with

people

that

work

for long hours created a WhatsApp page for introduction and connection of their

residents

. Furtherly, another way to confront

this

issue is by organizing

community

groups that will encourage each member to be accountable for one thing or the other.

For instance

, a

community

formed an association for the dwellers and mandated each resident to attend meetings

as well as

relate with each other.

Hence

, these will help

people

with tight working hours and even introverts.

To conclude

, It is obvious that the nature of

work

and

personality

traits

of individuals can be the reason

residents

rarely connect with each other.

However

, creating social media

connections

and

community

groups are ways of addressing these issues.
