I have never been in such an unfriendly place - very superficial-anywhere else these people would be average income people. I have met some really great sincere people, but there are these others I unfortunately keep encountering that ask: What does your husband do? Who is building your house? Where did you move from? I am a pretty friendly outgoing person have lived everywhere - but this by far is the most unfriendly and we won't be moving anytime soon. I miss my other southern city - at least people were nice in general. People here act suspicious of you, don't smile, don't even say hello - just very cold. This southern town does not live up to that whole southern hospitality motto. And this is the home of a great university! Should I give this time and be patient? I admit I am ultra-sensitive, but I am kind. I haven't felt that here. It's all about how much money you have and what kind of car you drive. To that I say, Sam Walton drove a used pick-up truck. Don't even know me.

I had to move to the little town for 6 mts.

I was glad to get back to the big town I grew up in.

I may not know my Neighbors by name, but at least they wave or yell hey once in awhile. Report It

Well, there are wretchedly fake, pretentious bitches in every location, and no State motto is worth giving full credit. However, I have been in very similar circumstances, and therefore understand just how taxing a situation such as that would be. In all situations of that nature, I find it best to delve into my own studies, music, good friends, etc. Don't let it bother you so.

I know exactly how you feel living in a city like this myself. I finally started responding to these types of questions with a smile and "why do you want to know". The individual asking the question will get the message, and the focus will then be placed back on them. This doesn't work every time obviously, but it does set some boundaries for you to be able to share your personal information at your own pace. Good luck :)

It's great to live in a friendly community; I can empathize

with your plight.

If you can't move to somewhere better, look for opportunities to make sincere friends and to get involved

in meaningful activities.

Once people recognize that you're person of quality, they

will come looking for your frienship.

Good luck.

There ARE some small communities in the south that I (and I'm from the south) have found to be just the way you describe them. They and their families have been in the area for many, many generations and are skeptical of accepting outsiders. They ask nosey questions to try and find something about you they consider not quite up to their standards (as if they're perfect). Ask THEM nosey questions, don't let them get under your skin, they're insecure. Be yourself, be friendly and if somebody gets too much to take, just avoid them. There are a lot of nice people, you don't have to put up with snobbery from a few. The southern part of the USA has fine universities in many states SC,NC,GA,AL,LA,OK,TX,TN,MS,FL,NM,AZ)
