Reply to comment by bcb1200 in Looking into moving to Mass. Would love to hear about the good, the bad, the ugly of living in your wonderful state! by InspectorFun1699

Agreeing with other folks who replied to my comment.

To be clear, Mass folk aren’t unfriendly or rude. Just private. And it’s totally a cultural thing.

As a general rule, old school New Englanders are raised to really not talk about 1) money and 2) our feelings.

That's great to know. I appreciate the social and cultural insights. Midwest doesn't really discuss feelings either. We only discuss money to humble brag about some thing we got on super sale at a department store. "Thanks it was on CLEARANCE!"
