"The girl who used to live below her decided to move to another unit because of it. I’m super conscientious and have a lot of anxiety related to being an inconvenience to others, so I’ve gone to great lengths to avoid confrontation. I’ve bought thick foam slippers, reduced my vacuuming to once a week, bought a small, hand-held vacuum instead of using my expensive Roomba, I don’t have people over, I watch to see if she’s home before I do anything even slightly noisy, etc. I have repeated panic attacks and am always on edge in my own home because of it, and the management company won’t do anything about it because she’s threatened to sue them for discrimination. I’ve lived in apartments for 12 years without a single complaint from anyone. I know I’m not doing anything to deserve that kind of reaction."
