030720 Clearing the backgarden overgrowth/fell out with the neighbours/phoned Millicent

NEIGHBOUR DISPUTE/NOT TALKING TO ME, ANYMORE...BECAUSE I WENT AND SNUBBED THEIR CHILD

(There is a huge build up of backgarden debris which as built up unchecked for around 1 and 1/2 years long. I'm not a back garden type of person...so, I hardly ever go out there. Nevertheless, looking through the windows I can see the massive mess...extending going from top down to bottom.) 

Yesterday, I went out into my own backgarden; where I decided to start cutting down the lose/or, dead branches...and, tearing up the utterly useless weeds; to go throw away, later. 

Well, one of the next door neighbours children said, 'Hello,' to me...; but, as, number I, I couldn't actually 'see' them through the tall garden fence; and, number 2, I was too deeply engaged on doing what I was doing...which was clearing stuff up; therefore, I didn't bother answering them back.

This, unfortunately, was a really big mistake to 'ignore' them...; as both of their parents seem to be, really and truly, mad at me...; and, in fact, we are no longer on 'talking' terms, anymore...it's now pure 'silence'; which I see as being a pity...as I kind of liked them.

On the other hand, it's also like a bit of a 'test'; if you haven't actually done them any major wrong, yet; and, already, they've have chosen to go and behave like that...; then, who knows what would have happened if you had done them something seriously wrong, then...?!

The way I like to play it with the neighbours is to stay the hell away from them as far as is possible.

The fact is, I severely lack self-confidence; I'm autistic: Asperger's Syndrome; I also suffer from ADD-Attention Deficit Disorder/BiPolar/and, also, severe shyness/I also have some facial disfigurements/-etc. Furthermore, I'm not as 'fighting fit' as when I was young. So, being that I'm extremely awkward socially speaking; therefore, I prefer to play it perfectly 'safe' by just keeping myself strictly to myself; because, I know, that participating in any sort of neighbourly interaction could possibly spell serious trouble for me either sooner or later.

PHONED MILLICENT

Yesterday, I phoned my cousin, Millicent; and, told her that things were tough...being all alone with nobody to chat to; she said other people have to suffer the same, too; especially, the over 60's+...with which I had to agree.

(I overheard heard her husband, Trevor, speaking in the background; but, didn't actually talk to him, personally.)

I mentioned to her that I was attempting to go learn, maths; and, was finding it extremely difficult. She said, she had the same sort of difficulties.

At the close of our conversation...she said I must tell Sharon, 'hello'; to which I answered, yes, I would remember to do that.

(I think, this might be the 3rd phone call I made to Millicent in a week; whereas, normally, I don't tend to call them more than once in 3 to 6 months. I don't want to call them too frequently...in case she might just get sick of me!)
