Is Washington State just weird?

I moved here at the beginning of the year and usually am able to make friends easily, but it seems the people in this state are super flaky and don't seem to want real connection? Is it just me? I don't hate anyone, I just think it shouldn't be this hard to build friendships? 😬😔

Washington people are like that. I’ve struggled nonstop with flaky and prudes that can’t accept any other lifestyle than their own…. I’ve been wanting to move for years because of the people, but my husband doesn’t want to leave so here we still are years later.

Same issue here lol the environment is definitely different from what I’m used to.

A lot of people want connection. You just gotta keep looking and don’t take it personally.
I used to run a friendship business here so I’ve spoken with hundreds of people on the topic.

I moved here from the east coast for college. People are different out here. It’s not bad, but it seemed to me like I was in the middle of a dance I didn’t know all the steps to.

Yes, I’m from Southern California originally and people here are stand-offish at times. Have you ever heard of the Seattle freeze?

I’ve been here for 2.5 years - definitely hard to make friends and build meaningful connections here in my experience!
