Reply to comment by asocial_butterfly in Boston is such a lonely place. by [deleted]

Another PNWer here. My experience is that PNW folks are nice but not friendly and Boston folks are not nice but friendly. What I mean by that is that someone in the NW is generally open and willing to meet new people but they are flakey and not the greatest friends. Bostonians are cold and closed off but if you make friends with one they will give you the shirt off their back and be there when you need them.

I like this. I'd rather work harder to have better quality friends.

Yes!!!! I can absolutely confirm this as having lived in Boston and Seattle. In Boston people don’t want to bother you, but most are actually willing to be bothered and will become your friend, they just won’t start the conversation.

I moved from Boston to Portland, and this is absolutely correct.
