Friendly on the surface, hard to get past it
People here are warm and polite, and many friendships go back to grade school, which can leave someone who arrived as an adult on the outside for years. Winter lasts from November into spring with deep snow and short days, so months can go by with most of life spent indoors. The region is praised for its quality of life, and residents who feel shut out of that picture can feel alone in a particular way. It has also been a heavy few years in the Cities, and many people are still carrying that.
How peer support helps near Minneapolis
