What would you do?

Today, I took a deep breath and started journaling to "figure out my life." Two hours later, I had written four pages of ranting about my upstairs neighbor's loud footsteps and zero pages about my life goals. FML
I agree, your life sucks 133
You deserved it 298

Same thing different taste

I guess your first goal is to make your upstairs neighbor stop stomping on your ceiling like a buffalo in heat. Depending how it goes, your second goal might be to move out.

🫂 I spent 5 years in this particular circle of hell. If you have any health and safety agencies you can get them to test if the noise is above the legal allowed limit? I know in the UK that if an upstairs property has hard floors you can complain to the Environment Agency and they can take the neighbour to court to force them to put sound proofing and carpet down. I don't know if you have any such laws but if you don't then I can only recommend seeing if you can move to a single story or top floor property. It's beyond heavenly having just a roof and the sky above you and you'll never be comfortable with living under people ever again. Even just everyday, quiet living noise will chew on your nerves for years to come. Unless you've been there, people don't realise just how badly it effects you. 🫂
