I moved from the shorline of CT to southern VT in Cavendish. I love it here.

Literally everyone i have met is amazing. None of that NY/CT/RI/Mass attititude of “me first, out of my way, no time to talk” it’s been 100% friendly, helpful folks that see you working in your yard and stop by to offer help.

Online, in FB or Reddit it seems to be the opposite. The “fuck off we don’t want you here” comes from the seemingly younger crowds and the anonymous users of the area.

Some of the Facebook groups can come off pretty elitist and don’t seem to really be interested in helping anybody that’s not from Vermont figure out how to fully integrate here.

On Reddit, where things are more anonymous, people flat out come off as vitreous or mean.
