this is true. Overall, people are not happy in dc, its a city full of stress and angst. I am from NJ everybody takls to each other ,greets people in stores, people are not as fearful....Here there is alot of fear and stress, and it across all class levels, poor , rich, students...People are stressed out...the city is like a weight on the soul

​

I lived in austin tx and florida, but never felt like this there. I love austin because people are like smiling all the time, NJ too. maybe not smiling but they care about each other, in DC people just dont get involved, they are detached and introspective, and really dont care about each other

​

tht being said. i am still here because the quality of life and things to do, and gree space. I have had to put effort into my social life, i have a good group of friends who i met at church and sports groups so indivudals tend to be good people but the culture is stressful and unhappy not good for creative types
