[quote=Anonymous]If you are asking this question, you probably just met. It may be an ice breaker.

Maybe they identify with where they live now. Maybe they had a painful childhood they want to not talk about.

I have a few friends who now live in the east coast but all used to live on the west coast before moving here.

One friend moved to the dc area from California. I have another friend who seems almost offended that this woman says she is from California even though she grew up and went to college in the Midwest. She worked in California, got married in California and California was her home for many years before moving to dc. The other ca friend is a native of California, was born there, grew up there, went to college, worked, married, had kid and moved to dc.

I have another friend whose parents went through an ugly divorce. Every time I talk to her she said she was from another place. I didn’t think anything of it because I also moved around a few states when I was a child. When I got to know her better, I realized she had a very complicated childhood including living with grandparents, having a parent “take” her, changing her name (immigration), moving within the US, etc. it would probably be easier to just say she is from Maryland, especially to a person she just met in casual conversation.[/quote]
