My neighbor's silence made me think they hated me.

Turns out they were grieving and I made it worse.

Have you ever tried just leaving a small note? I did that when my coworker was super quiet for weeks... turned out her dad was sick. I wrote 'Hey, no need to reply, but I'm here if you want to talk.' It didn't fix everything, but it eased the tension. Sometimes people just need to know you see them without pressure.
