IsoM, I didn't know you were Canadian!!
> When I lived on the prairies, most people >found me weird (& even told me).I've experienced this. When I lived in a smaller town, I was frequently described as eccentric.
> I didn't fit in there & while I enjoy being >alone, I felt lonely & out of place there.
>
> Now that I'm back where I love (on the west coast), the people are far more accepting & variety in people is welcome.The strange thing is that I had more friends in a town of 60,000 in a quite conservative part of the state (north central Wisconsi), than I do in Madison, WI (275,000). I can't figure out the difference. Especially considering that here, people tend to agree with me more on political issues. They're just not as friendly.
*sigh* I'd like to try the west coast. My gf and I have talked about trying to immigrate to Vancouver.
But once again, thanks for your insight. I'm glad knowing I'm not the only one who's experienced this.
