[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like to rock the boat but also want everyone to like me. What a narcissit. I find people who characterize or conceive of themselves as too honest for other people to handle are often just idiot loudmouths. Not sure what place would be a good fit for a personality like that.[/quote] I don't think OP expects [i]everyone [/i]to like her. I think she probably wants [i]some[/i] people to like her and not to rush to exclude her because she can be outspoken and opinionated at times. That sort of stuff can just be the kiss of death in Vienna. It sounds like you either have no idea how quickly Vienna parents can ostracize someone who doesn't fit the mold or are one of those folks. [/quote] It is bizarre to me how people are so delusional and out of touch that they can’t even fathom that people in DMV suburb like Vienna are more conformist and than usual and that is more milquetoast than most areas. The DMV, especially NoVA, is much more conformist than the nation in general because there are a lot of government employees and a lot of defense contractors. These aren’t the type of people who are known to think outside the box and break the rules - I know that might be a shock to some people. There are places in almost every place in the country that would be less conformist than Vienna, or extreme cases like Austin, Bushwick, Silver Lake, etc. To act like the whole country is just homogeneous and there’s no different in the vibe of Vienna and the vibe of even a place like Takoma Park is just not true. OP just hasn’t found her tribe and should move to someplace else. It’s not her fault.[/quote]
