I love living out in the sticks (10 acre farm) where my next door neighbors are 1/4 mile in each direction. We do have an older couple directly across the street that are friendly, but still very busy, so I only talk with them a few times a year.
I don't go out of my way to strike up conversations with anybody, and may appear standoffish, but in truth, I don't want to discuss their problems, or hear about health issues nonstop.
