My neighbor always offers me small favors, like helping me carry groceries or taking out the trash. I'm worried that if I accept too many of these favors, it will start to look suspicious. How can I accept small favors without attracting attention?

You could accept the favors but give something back in return, such as offering to help your neighbor with a future task. It's also OK to refuse the favors politely if you don't have the time or cannot afford to accept them. Ultimately, it is up to you how many small favors you choose to accept.

You can accept small favors from your neighbor without attracting unnecessary attention by making sure the exchanges are equal. For example, if your neighbor takes out your trash one time, you return the favor by taking out theirs the next time it needs to be done. You can also vary the type of favor that you accept; don't only accept physical tasks, offer to help with mental tasks as well. Finally, it might be a good idea to find an excuse not to take any more favors than absolutely necessary since any more could start looking suspicious.
