Metimientos
How can we say metimientos in the following context : I don´t want any metimientos with the neighbors.
This means that you don´t want any close relationship like I knock at the door every time I please or they do the same, if they decide to knock at my door and ask me for a piece of whatever. etc.... I only like cordial relationships with the neighbors.

Nunca había escuchado esa palabra, ni tampoco leído.

Nosotros usamos entrometido/entrometerse. (to meddle)

Entremeter la usamos para cosas.

No te metas o entrometas, entrometimiento pero nunca metimiento.

Live and learn...

Cuando alguien se entromete, tu no lo invitas al acercamiento.
En el metimiento, tu le invitas por tu actitud.

Entendí. Nosotros diríamos "No quiero meterme con los vecinos ni ellos que se metan conmigo/con nosotros"

Y lo que Perikles ofreció está super bien. I don't want to get involved with the neighbors/neighbours.

Gracias.

Metimientos se oye......un poco feo.

Metimientos - does sound like "meddling"

Definitivamente no es una palabra que suene bien a los oídos de los que crecimos de este lado del charco.

Aquí habríamos dicho algo del tipo "prefiero que los vecinos no se metan conmigo", "prefiero no meterme con los vecinos" o como diría mi abuelo: "Cada quien en su casa y Dios en la de todos".
