Let me rephrase that, CE, Your neighbors attack you for being different, for being uppity, for seeming to think yourself better than them. What does this say about your neighbors? They are sad, troubled, even pathetic individuals who need to put others down in order to feel good about themselves. The are so obsessed with their own social status that they have to spin stories about others - he's a f*g, he's nutcase, he thinks he's better than he is - to feel okay about themselves. They need to scapegoat you in order to bolster their own low self esteem.
So pray for them. They are sad and limited people who need to hurt others in order to sustain themselves. They are sick and suffering human beings.
See if you can learn to respond to them that way. Like - wow! I am getting better and changing my own life, while they are stuck in these sad and dysfunctional modes of judging and comparing and needing to put others down. How sad for them! How unfortunate that they don't have the opportunity to grow and change that I have.
