[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a person complains that people in this area are "so unfriendly!" I immediately know they are transplant.

Lived her a lifetime, it's all I know, and I think people are friendly enough. But I understand that in other areas of the country people can be super chatty and friendly so when people move here and it's a you mind your own business, and I will mind mine and we will be cold polite as needed, that it feels unfriendly.

I came here from Connecticut in the early 90s (so feel kinda native by now) and I thought people were very friendly, chatty, and Southern.  Ha.[/quote]

Natives are very friendly!  It’s the transplants who are unfriendly.  Especially young, white women. They think everyone’s a threat to them in some way. It’s such a strange way to live. [/quote]

Very true!  Then transients — who, for the most part have only looked to other transients and relatively recent transplants for socializing— complain that people in what they call the DMV are less than friendly.  [/quote]
