I appreciate that your interaction with that woman turned sour, but you really gonna stop that one incident stop you from offering a helping hand unless asked?

Like how many times have you held the door open for folks and got a thanks of a smile of gratitude? I think the woman who yelled at you might be the outlier in these sorts of situations. Just sayin, the onus wasn’t on your trying to help

Yeah I don’t think that holds water in such an international city like Boston is now. In this case the woman was an immigrant and had a very thick accent when she said thank you. So some folks just can’t.

But I totally agree. In a pinch. New englanders on the whole are there for each other when needed

To each their own, just cus someone made life choices you don’t agree with doesn’t make them deserving of derision

Not bragging, making an appeal to common decency

Thanks 😊 . I’ve been all over the country and world and have never found a less friendly place.

But so far the best suggestions I have gotten are the Boston chapter of the AMC, checking out the CIC, and investigating the Boston discord. With any luck I can find some folks I fit in with 🤞

Really? Would totally be into going on your next hike. I used to go on pretty hardcore hikes in my teens and 20’s but that was ages ago and I could def do with a reintroduction to it lol 😅
