Making “Real Neighbors” With Greetings

After seeing the seven 'Mother's Love Languages', I made a resolution to practice greetings, the first item, on a daily basis.

I greeted neighbors in an elevator with a bright voice, who usually pretend not to know or shake their heads when I run into them.

When I greeted them for the first time, I could see that the residents in the elevator were startled.
Then, everyone greeted me face to face, saying, “Hello.”

We’ve only been greeting each other consistently for about a week, but we’ve already become close.

It was a small act, but it made me feel happy.
Even though we lived in the same building for over a year, we didn’t know each other. However, when we greeted each other first, it seems that we have become real neighbors.
