I find this interesting because I live here now (R.L.) and I think most of the people I've met in the almost 3 years I've lived here to be very cold and unfriendly. I can't wait to move away. It is Rice Lake, people here are not friendly at all.

(I keep saying I'm not quite sure what area I want to settle, but I think inside I've made up my mind it's probably going to be R.L... haha)

I've experienced a lot of that in Great Falls, Montana on the other hand... where I'm currently residing. When I tried to talk to my neighbor who was the same age back when I was 14, she kept acting like she was trying not to laugh. Like she was thinking, "Why is this girl talking to me?" It was weird. Of course, nowadays I wouldn't let that deter me, but back then being a shy kid anyway, that made me cower more into my shell.

I've always found it harder to get people to open up around here, even when I was actively trying. That's a problem here, not in northwest Wisconsin.

I'm sorry to say I just can't relate to that. I loved growing up there and when I've been back to visit in recent years, the town was always friendly wherever I went, even if I didn't know the people. I'm talking just clerks in the stores.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. People are different and relate to different places.

I'm curious - what cities or towns did you live in?
