I definitely agree. It’s highly exaggerated. I can’t stand the passive aggressive bullshit that they pull down south and in the Midwest. I’ll take our directness any day of the week.

On the flip side, I don’t find Californians to be any “chiller” than we are.

I forget where I heard this but I agree that New Jerseyans are kind but not nice, whereas Californians are nice but not kind.

Like a Jerseyan will fix your tire on the side of the road but then call you a dumbass for not knowing how to do it yourself. A Californian will sympathize with your plight but then shrug and drive on.

That’s probably bc it’s from a TikTok going around.

I feel like I've heard it a while ago originally. But I hate it because it's wildly inaccurate in my experience. But anyway, how do you define kind and nice. I don't feel there is much of a meaningful difference between the two.

California sucks because of that "chill" attitude.
