Ive been here for 8 years. Have 3 beautiful children an amazing husband. We bought our house a few years ago. However, this place is not for me and I am struggling to believe that I will be here for the rest of my life. The dryness and altitude are killing me. I grew up in Florida and I just visited recently and I realized how much I missed that place. I remembered my old funny laid-back self. I came back full of life joking at everything. Gosh how did I become so dry here. Anyways idk if its just venting or what... but coloradans are definitely not my people. 8 years here made in total 5 friend 3 moved to another state, one is leaving next year and one stopped talking to me because God knows why. For now i have to stay here for my husbands job. But I am struggling y'all.

I came from Jordan to Colorado it’s been 3 years for me here. I miss my home town too but the change is good sometimes. I agree that it’s hard to find friends here I had 4 and now 3 good people. Try to join groups that interests u. So u can do some activities nd not feel alone.

My heart goes out to you. I can tell you the Colorado I grew up in and loved is not the same Colorado we live in today. The same goes for a lot of the people. Feel free to message me and vent anytime!

I feel the same way and I wish we could sell and leave back to Arizona because I hate Colorado it’s not for me and I don’t fit in with the casual friendships people have

Let’s connect! I’ve been here since 2011 cause of my dad’s job I just had my first baby last year so would love to connect!

I moved here from CA!! I’m really missing the beach. If you want to chat feel free to Dm me. If we are close maybe we can grab coffee or something

I was born here but felt that way when I moved from the Denver metro area to Colorado springs. I complained to my mom every day for weeks. I moved to pueblo and now feel much more at home

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. It's ok to miss where you came from. I'm was born here and miss how it was growing up. It's drastically changed since we 2014 and it truly saddens me too see it now. Feel free to add me. I'm always down to make new friends.

Wow this is literally me exactly! I live in Colorado as well and have been here since 2018. I’m also from Florida. My husband and I are seriously talking about moving back because of the culture here and how it’s nearly impossible to establish a social circle

Same! I moved here 2 years ago and I came from Utah and I felt the same there. I’m from California and tbh that’s just where I want to be.

I couldn’t have said it better. People are so flaky. They break their word easily and it makes it hard to try to trust people after you’ve been burned so many times. The culture I come from is nothing like this casual American attitude to life and friendships and it’s something I’ve tried to get used to, but I’m not. I don’t think I ever will
