Are S'poreans getting lonelier as our city becomes overcrowded?

If you do 'good deeds' expecting gratitude and/or reciprocity, then you really have to rethink your life's priorities.

It's not about expecting gratitude. It's about social etiquette. Least for my mentioned case, it is so hard to say a simple "Thank you"?

Guys, OP and me are not expecting gratitude or monetary rewards. Honestly, there're times when someone did me a simple favor like holding the door or offered to press the lift button. I don't feel gratitude at all. It's simply a social etiquette and I just say "thank you". At worst, it's lip service.

Oh now, recalling back. Mofo didn't say xiexie. That should be a subtle red flag. Please unlearn your "Chinese peasantry mindset" if you think otherwise. That's why I hang out with other races and nationalities when I was overseas.

I only cultivate relations with sane, rational or both people, period.

You are now talking to 1 of the world most sane l, rational and logical person aka clear minded.

There are 650,000 CECAs in S'pore according to the Indian govt. Imagine if you stay in Mandarin Gardens where up to 40% of the units are owned or tenanted out to CECAs.
