I don’t know if this the right forum.

So for a year or 2 now people have been hanging out behind my home there’s so much yelling and noise some are probably teens. Even with lockdowns they still were doing their thing. I usually just draw the curtains and close the back windows to be safe and to shut any noise but It’s just too much. I’m always stressed with all this noise I feel like I can’t sing or watch a movie in peace both because they ruin the mood with their noise and cause I feel spied upon. 

Dad yells at them sometimes to go away or tries to chit chat and be friendly so some days are better and others worse. I just feel there’s no safe place for me. Especially now with the hot weather I can’t even open a widow cause it’s just so fucking awkward to have random teens and some adults hanging outside your house. There’s a billion other places they could choose to hang out in the neighborhood and they choose a strangers house? I talked to my sister whose studying in another city and she says I’m overreacting and it’s not the end of the world. But she has t been home in like 3 years.

Maybe if we got thicker curtains it’d feel better? Maybe they’ll notice the changes of the curtains and start knocking on the windows for fun again? Its like our family is dancing the dance of trying to be friendly and being mean enough to make them go away without becoming targets for them and they slash our tires or break our windows or something.

This happens like 3-4 days a week for a while now with weekends being usually quiet. But sometimes it’s like afternoon till like 10 at night. So I just plan around them and use my headphones when they are around or try to use another room at the front side but it feels so weird. Like I feel judged and spied when I yell or I’m loud, like if I can hear them they can hear me right?
