[quote=Anonymous]Lived there for work for many years and I have a ton of theories about this. People on this thread talk about the transplants but I found it to be a surprisingly local and provincial place. People wouldn't be interested in inviting me places because they had a million friends from growing up on Bainbridge (or whatever) and their parents were from there too and they had a whole life there that was also based in how GREAT it is there. So some east coaster rolling in made no sense. Why would they include me?

I remember at my job there, many of the people in the same position were my age and life space (single). I used to make small talk and be like, "Oh, doing anything fun tonight?" And then they'd be like, "Yeah, we're all going to happy hour." And I'd say, "Oh sounds fun! I love happy hour." And then they'd be like, "Yeah it's the best. Whelp, see you later."

Eventually, after a year or two, suddenly the freeze thawed and I was embraced and had a wonderful group there and we all ended up at each others weddings and having kids at the same time. So that was nice and all, but christ, it took so. long. and a stupid amount of effort to make a single friend. [/quote]
