I normally post in the Depression areas on Psych Central. This is my first post on Anxiety, and I do have that.

This morning I got a message from the manager at where I live saying that the downstairs neighbors feel that I'm making too much noise. That I'm stomping and dropping things. The manager asked me if I would be more aware of it. I try to be as quiet as I can be.

The neighbors complained about me a year ago (I had just moved in) when I was working out in my unit. Since they complained, I quit doing that particular exercise and did something else. It seemed to have worked out better.

Why did it take them so long to complain? It's been about a whole year. And they never told me directly. The manager told me not to talk to them because they are shy. I wish they would tell me instead of going through the manager.

And now I feel like I'm running scared. It's too bad because things have been going very well for me. I like the place I live at a lot, but I'm not crazy about my neighbors. I want to move eventually, but I'm not ready for it yet.
