I'm from Texas, and I might move up to the Midwest or New England one day. Problem is, I'm worried that the people there will be rude to me. HELP.
Well, I have never relocated, and I do not live in the states. BUT, I do happen to know that this situation is exactly like moving school/graduating and going to college etc. You are going to find unpleasant people wherever you go, HOWEVER, You will also find wonderful people aswell! There's all these different clusters of personalities and tastes and you're bound to appeal to someone or be encouraged by other people where you move! Don't panic too much! Focus on getting to know the area you're thinking of moving to in terms of where everything is/where to go before you focus on 'meeting people' Chances are though you'll meet someone that would be glad to help you out if you're new to the area! You just never know what people to expect. But expect all different kinds.
It depends on where you move in New England, I can vouch for certain areas. Where are you thinking in New England?
Why are you worried about people being rude to you? There's nothing inherently wrong with being from the South.
I think it's less that and more to do with our stereotype of Northerners as being rude, unfriendly, etc.
I'm from up north, people seem pretty friendly around where I live here in central Massachusetts. I think if you just avoid uptight rich people you'll be fine
Not everyone up here is all that bad. Some places are more friendly than others, but mostly everyone in New England are at least nice. I recently moved to Western Mass and everyone here has been more than nice. Heck, the police show up to strike up a conversation with us. Not everyone here is a character in Ethan Frome.
