Reply to comment by brymandog in Vermont Native by brymandog

I think some people are scared of Vermonters with all the hate and slander out of staters get. Of course a lot of it is justified...but the good people coming here that could benefit all of us are on edge. I mean the number one tip moving here is switch your plate and blend in as fast as possible. I know some people who are terrified to be asked where they came from.

I'm not scared of the type of native Vermonters who see me as an invasive species but I am expecting a confrontation at all times and operate at threat level midnight. That changes how I deal with people right off the bat and I find myself reverting to my gruffer self by default and I don't like it. I rather enjoyed the laid back middle-aged dude I turned into rather than the bar-fighting rapscallion I once was.
