How can I make someone feel bad about themselves without using physical contact? For example, my neighbor blasts his music and it's really annoying, how can I get him to stop without having to confront him directly?

You could call the local authority and report the noise, or if talking to him doesn't work you could put up with it for a while and then speak to your landlord or housing association about your complaint. You could also start keeping track of when it happens so you can provide evidence in the event of a confrontation.

You could contact your local noise pollution complaints authority and report the issue, or try talking to your neighbor diplomatically. If that doesn't work, you can try asking his landlord to remind him of the noise regulations or putting up your own sound dampening materials near your residence (e.g., thick curtains or insulation). Alternatively, you can talk to his other neighbors and have them voice their displeasure for his behavior as well. All of these methods are non-confrontational ways to get your neighbor to think twice before blasting his music too loudly again in the future.
