I recently left the DC area for work, and came back to notice a huge difference in people. We are very miserable here in this town. I cannot believe I am still living here. Seriously I don't care about your status or what you do. Outside of work, we're all the same.

should I engage? Should I not engage? ok, I'll bite.

Speak for yourself. I'm rather happy.

I'm not miserable myself, but then again I don't work a high stress (or high paying ) job like so many in the area. DC is full of workaholics, by choice or necessity.

I'm not miserable either - I'm very outgoing and talk to everyone.

I may not be smiling and chipper but I'm happier living here working and getting a Master's degree than I'd be at mom's house back in Kentucky not working and doing nothing.

I've noticed a pattern with VRE so I'm not surprised. I've been in NOVA since 73 and am now ready to move further out for more land and country living but will never say I'm unhappy here.

No offense VRE but you've never seen very happy here.

Hmmmm that's subjective because I find this area way more vibrant compared to other parts of Virginia or other places where it seems like there's very little jobs/money moving around and everyone seems like they're barely making it by.

Wow! You ARE miserable, whether you know it or not! Who talks to everyone around here?!? Maybe you're the very definition of miserable in OP's opinion
