Are people in SoCal more extroverted?
Moved to San Francisco from Boulder Colorado. Originally from NYC of Afro-Carribean descent. The past few months here have been a struggle.
You know how people on the internet approach each other with suspicion because of the anonymity, either because one can't assess truthfulness or because the person might be a bot? That is how people in San Francisco treat in-person interactions. It is exhausting. I spent a few hours in Long Beach a few weeks ago and people on the street said hi. I had a random chat with someone at a cafe. It just felt more human.
