Tell, me people of Massachuetts, what’s the deal please !

Since moving to Massachuetts in 2022 and living on my own I have noticed people, are mean, angry and rude. Now I thought many it was just me, thinking so, but, it isn’t. I know this because as I try to figure out the best way to get along here, I have heard others say it and then found articles on it online.

Now, here is one of the things I found online, not written by me, but by others- read this and you will see-Some say that people from Massachusetts are rude for a variety of reasons, but not all Massachusetts people are rude and mean:

Sports: Some say that being proud of sports teams or watching professional sports can make people irrationally angry. 

Sense of entitlement: Some say that people in Boston behave as if they are the only people in the world and lack common courtesy.

Lack of self-awareness: Others say that rudeness stems from a lack of self-awareness.

City-dwellers: City-dwellers tend to interact with more people than those in rural areas, and some say this can lead to perceptions of rudeness.

Road rage: Some say that road rage is a common rude behavior in Boston.

Cutting lines: Some say that cutting lines is a common rude behavior in Boston.

Another Person said this-I lived in MA for over 60 years. I always wondered why groups and clubs seemed a bit cliquish. It was very hard to make friends. People would pretend they like you, exchange numbers and you never hear from them unless you make the first move. In some cases I felt like I didn’t belong. Try going to a place like Whole Foods. Most of the time you’re just another customer. If you say something to someone, they ignore you.

I have been saying this for two years now about Massachuetts people and people tell me I am full of shit, the people above have live here most of their lives. Sadly, I can now say I am not alone in feeling this way. The real question is why, and how does one overcome it? Lets see, Westborough and the Bourghs around it are all family orientated, Boston is 33 miles from me, and while a nice city, it’s people are again somewhat put of fish and rude at times. Then they say go into Worcester and try that, I have seen people there too who act that way but not as much. So, do you talk to people here or don’t you? Do you avoid politics and religion or what? What subjects are safe, is it Sports, Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins and Patriots? I find most Massachuetts people to be what they call themselves in many ways Massahole’s rude, indifferent and crass. why is it? The few I have met who are kind of friendly and will talk to you are in the hospitality field here in Massachuetts, for they know, they make their money that way. How, does one actually, make friends here, I have yet to figure that one out ? Then, they complain they can’t get dates if single, divorced or widowed. Well, Massachuett’s people, if your so set in your ways and unable to communicate with others, rude and crass, and mean, of course, no one is going to like it or you. Being kind is a way to go, but, kind and nice gets you shit upon too and taken advantage of, so what’s one to do? Tell, me people of Massachuetts, what’s the deal please !
