Soy The soy on Reddit is unbearable

[Sex-Starved Beast]

My upstairs neighbour in my flat has started blasting TV late at night and it annoys me a lot. I have to ask him to lower the volume, even though I have high inhib and social anxiety and I'd rather avoid human confrontations. The problem is that he only does it at night when I'm too tired to get out of the house and ring someone's doorbell when I'm not entirely sure it's him. He's also a mentally ill smelling hoarder, so I doubt that talking to him will change anything, just like how nothing changed when my dad complained about his neighbour's dogs barking at night in the past, but I should still try. I already tried banging on the ceiling, but it didn't work.

I'm not at home now, and I was thinking about it. Out of curiosity I looked up similar stories online like I always do for everything, and I found one guy with the exact same problem as me asking for advice on Reddit.

The top answers:
«Get a white noise machine»
«Move your bed, find good plugs»
«Strenghten your windows (!?)»

What? Why would you go through all that in your own house when he's the one in the wrong? These people will let anyone walk all over them, somehow more than us incels who often are high inhib pussies and have gotten abused by others all our lives. I can't believe that these beta soy losers somehow have girlfriends while I don't. Fucking pathetic losers.

Reddit and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

One thing I can tell you from personal experience, if you complain to your neighbor about their noise, even if you're very friendly and polite about it, they will take it as a declaration of war. They are more likely to increase their noise just to spite you. You'd legit be better off calling them a slur.

Part of the problem is people are very isolated, hyper-introverted, and atomized. So many people don't even know all of their neighbor's names. There's no sense of community anymore, so nobody cares who's sleep or tranquility they're disturbing.

Another problem is the cucked attitude society has about this type of thing these days. Complain about the noise and you're seen as aggressor and the asshole. They really think people have every right to blast loud music for hours or have a large dog that barks nonstop for 15 hours a day. I can remember a time when noisy residents were the ones who were hated. Now people who complain about them are the enemy.

Constantly noisy neighbors aren't some "minor inconvenience" either. Sleep depravation is no joke. It can dramatically decline your quality of life. It's detrimental to not only your mental health, but your physical health as well.

Also complaining to authorities does absolutely nothing. At most they'll just be told to try and keep it down. There are no meaningful consequences.

The only real thing you can do is move. Believe me, I know it sucks. I've had to deal with noisy neighbors on multiple occasions and it absolutely ruined my life. Having to go work a stressful job after only getting 2 hours of sleep because your neighbor's dog barked all night or decided to blast bass heavy music until 3am is fucking brutal.

In a fair world this shit wouldn't be happening, but society has decided you are not entitled to peace and quiet in your own home.

This is one more reason why if I magically won a large sum of money, I'd buy a house on a large plot of land in the middle of nowhere. This issue has legit amplified my misanthropy.
