Just be polite and say hi , bye . Having someone that close ( a duplex ) They can do a lot of harm ! They know when you come and go (if they really watch ).They can rob you , or set you up to get hurt by their friends , if you live downstairs , they can run around and make you feel as if the ceiling is falling .Too close to hate .REALLY ! The hi , bye may just keep both of you protetced .Probably not what you want to hear , but things could get horribly bad . Report them to the landlord and the landlord may evict them.If moving is not your choice , then just Kill them with kindness ( sort of speaking , a very old saying).I disliked my neighbor for 17 years .And stayed , until I bought a another home .But we knew we didn't like each other . Still sometimes we live where we need too .I worked a lot and came home to court less of problems until I put a camera on and recorded my yard and house .He then just gave mean looks.I was okay with that ! No more broken windows , / eggs / garbage in my yard, ect. He only needed to be charged one time for his actions and became the peaceful neighbor .Beware they may have cameras as well .

I know what you mean. It sucks doesn't it. I live in a duplex, and continually have problems with neighbor, but here's what I've learned from it. ..... When I find myself yelling and screaming back and forth, and playing her game, I'm doing exactly what she wants. She loves controversy. I don't. So............. now, I try, and although it's not always possible, I don't give in to her childish behaviors, and I don't entertain her hatred. Now, I try to say nothing. Zip, zero, zilch, nada, .... It drives her nuts I'm sure, and in a sick kind of way, I get some satisfaction out of the deal too.

It wouldn't be the first time. However, think about what started the hatred to begin with. Are they noisy? Are you noisy? Think about it and make a decision to stop hating them.
Ask them over for a BBQ and get to know each other. Make a commitment to like them and learn to talk rationally with them. Do nice things for each other, who knows you may become best friends!! It just takes some effort.
If none of these suggestions work, then I suggest you find another place to live. I understand that some people are just impossible.

Many people look at the negative side of having a neighbor they hate, but you can also look at the positives:
-- Telemarketers got you down? Let them know you're interested in their product, and give them their info, and since you're "changing to your new phone service", give them their number as well!
-- No girl scout cookies or local solicitation. Their kids will avoid you, since their parents will know their kids talking to you will inevitably result in them talking to you.
-- An honest opinion. Wearing a new dress? Did your husband get a new car? Ask them what they honestly think of it! They won't lie, since they don't care how you feel about them!
-- Convenient excuse! Left behind trash cans? It's your neighbors, your trash was picked up on time. Missing your bills? It was delivered in their mailbox, not yours. Be creative!

You basically have two choices.
1. Ignore them.
2. Move. Buy your own house. That is what I did after years of living in an apartment building with noisy neighbors.

When you read the bible from Matthew chapters 5 to 7 you'll find that what Jesus talked about, it's scandalous! He asks the most impossible things. But guess what, there's a key to being able to do all of that. When someone gives their life to God and God's Holy Spirit comes into them, God actually does something no person can do on their own - he changes their very nature!
So the person who gives their life over to Jesus will be changed, either dramatically or gradually, and they will desire to love their neighbour regardless of how awful they are. And not only that, because of God's Holy Spirit (the Spirit of God) living in a person, they can ask God to fill them with His power and they will have it in them to be able to keep loving their neighbour.
It's like a person has a superpower of love that will win over someone else's superpower of hate. Only difference is, it's God's power working in us, we're fully dependent on Him and not fully independent like Superman (and thanks to him the world's insurance companies are all in receivership).
blessings,

Well I guess that would be something you would have to pray about ,and ask for help with. You can forgive them ,but you do not have to be around others that hurt you etc..I even have anger towards others we all have struggles. We have to work these things out with Gods help through prayer.

If they don't hate you and you are hurt by something then clearly state them. If they are not willing to solve problem then get help from law. If it doesn't work then try to move out.

Then you must be pretty miserable. You might want to try not hating them it might be more fun.
You have a choice in life so choose not to hate.

Talk to your landlord if they are disturbing you with for example loud music. Otherwise look for a different place to live.
