So my neighbor next door is schizophrenic and mentally ill. How do I avoid talking to him?

The best way to avoid talking to your schizophrenic neighbor is to not engage with him. This may require ignoring him when he talks to you or avoiding walking near him. If you are aware that he is coming over to talk to you, then you can simply let him know that you do not want to talk and that you need some time alone. It can also be helpful to have a plan of what you will say in response to him so that you do not feel rushed and can easily refuse to talk.  You can also be assertive and set boundaries, such as keeping your conversations short and refraining from sharing personal information.  Finally, you can always ignore him and pretend that he isn't there. Although these may be uncomfortable and unfamiliar measures to take, it is often the best way to ensure your safety.
