I’m dealing with a really uncomfortable situation and could use some advice. I live in a block of flats, and for the past two years, my neighbor has been harassing me over small things, like my door being open. She constantly shouts at me to close it when she walks past, even though I’ve explained I just came in and forgot to shut it. She’s also made comments about not wanting to get food on her clothes when walking past my house, which I find completely unreasonable.

The situation escalated after I cut her off. We used to be friendly neighbors, but once I decided to distance myself from her and limit our interactions, she began harassing me. It’s been going on for a while now, and I’ve even had police involvement. They considered investigating her behavior, but I decided not to pursue it. Housing has sent her a warning letter, but things haven’t improved.

To make things worse, I have recordings of her threatening me in the past. She’s not just shouting at me about the door but also making unreasonable demands. I feel like every time I leave or enter my home, I’m walking on eggshells, worried she’s going to complain about something else.

I’ve tried to stay calm and ignore it, but it’s starting to take a toll on my mental health. People say I should just keep living my life and ignore her, that the videos would be in my favor if she reports me (she recently recorded herself loitering outside my window telling me to shut the door) But I’m not sure how much longer I can handle this, and I don’t want to escalate things unnecessarily.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? What would you do in my situation? How do I handle this while protecting my boundaries and keeping my peace of mind?
