[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't lived in the Pacific NW, but living in southern CA I noticed a lot of pretending to be mellow that disguised anger and aggression. My people are New Englanders, and if there's an issue, we get it out in the open and we're over it. So I hated dealing with that forced mellow thing. I hated thinking someone was okay with me when they were actually angry, but their weird code forbade them from addressing it. If a New Englander appears to be friendly towards you, it's genuine.

I loved living in the midwest. I felt that the people were generally balanced in being pretty honest and reasonable, but neither overly aggressive nor fake nice.

I hate the southern thing of fake superniceness, with the dead eyes and them actually judging and hating you underneath.

The weird thing about their "mellow" anger is that it also appears to last much longer- where on the east coast you would have it out and be done, on the west coast it seems to last indefinitely, long past the point where a normal person would let it go.

Can I ask where you lived in the midwest?  I wonder if I should move there. [/quote]
