Kind of a rant post as I was thinking about things, but anyways. I’m about to finish my degree here so I’ve been here ~4 years and originally I’m from the south. People here ARE friendly, and no they won’t reach out automatically as a stranger like people down where I’m from do- but the vast majority are friendly if you do, which is great! Now here is the issue, people do NOT follow up like at all. I’ve also seen this difference with friends I’ve made who also are out of state- and they’re the ones that I hang out with the most and consider my best friends. However the vast majority of WA born (not all) are IMPOSSIBLE to make plans with. I’m talking people you try to reach out to meet up, they go “omg yes that would be fun!”, and then you never hear another word until they dip like 2 hours beforehand (or never respond at all!). I really cannot understand this kind of behavior and it’s super frustrating when you’re trying to form a genuine connection with people and honestly an asshole move.. again it’s not everyone but it’s so SO much the majority, and I’m not alone on noticing this w/ other out of staters 🥲🥲
