What fairytale do you live in where people walk down the street and make new friends with strangers?

Go to a fitness class, join a club or an adult sports league.

Canadian here, I think they're even more introverted here. Friendly on the outside but deep down they're wishing you'd shut up so they can move along lol

OP is certainly being melodramatic but I had a much easier time meeting people in the south. The culture up here is definitely less outgoing

Have you not left Boston or something? Seriously. That comment shows you don’t really know what you’re talking about, even if you’re using hyperbole to create your nonexistent point

People here are closed off. It’s literally a given fact. And you’re arguing against that haha
