[Dianne]

I just moved to New York from the SW, most of my family is from the South. I can’t get over how blunt and aggressive people seem to be up here or the lack of casual conversation before major issues are discussed. It has taken me months to realize they don’t mean to be rude. You may come across to them differently than you realize. I find it hard to listen to what they tell me, because I spend the first half of the conversation shocked by how they say it and feeling attacked. Try slowing down, smiling, and not anticipating a fight; I know I wish the people around me would do that.
