You’ve already condemned yourself for being an out of stater and you don’t even live here yet. You can’t go through life terrified of being the new guy unless you’re willing to work the same job your entire life in the same town of the same state with the same friends you had since high school.

Being new in a place isn’t inherently wrong and don’t give too much legitimacy to people who may hate you exclusively because they don’t know you yet. People move around, it’s been part of humanity from the beginning. The key is PARTICIPATING as a member of the community, and that’s actually true everywhere. Any club, any group - when you’re the new guy, be kind, listen, and participate. Don’t shun yourself into a corner and be strange. Engage!
