Atl, Ga by way of Alabama
i moved to the Atl area from Alabama this time last year and ive pretty much been on my :manny: steez. especially when it comes to the females. i moved here not knowing anybody except for a homeboy ive known over 10 years. no fam no nothing. im an introvert so ive never had many friends to begin with. but since ive moved i feel like a new person. i get at these chicks like its nothing. and i always have a built-in convo starter. i tell em im new to Ga and inquire about where do they go to hangout and getting the number for her to show me around sometime. i also think i have a case of anxiety about being around alot of ppl. back home it would take alot for me to do little things like go to a walmart or a grocery store but here i dont get that feeling anymore. i go out to sportsbars solo and chop it up and socialize. now ill always be an introvert and enjoy my own company and :whoa: when it comes to being around a lot of ppl but it feels good to be free of that anxiety now that ive relocated. Anybody else ever relocated and started over personality-wise??

Yeah, I usually end up changing my personality with a major academic/career change. This in the past came with going to college, then law school, and most recently starting my career. I'd have smaller increments of personality change in between with what extra curricular activities I would participate in, but otherwise yeah, it would depend more on what I was doing with my life rather than geographical location.

Nah. Not really. I think moving to New York from Pittsburgh actually was good because I was able to be myself more and be accepted. I can't say the same about Pittsburgh. I was myself there (all the time, cause I don't know how to do anything else except be me) and people were not feeling it. I just really felt like I violently clashed with the whole social dynamics and "scene" of that city to the point I felt like I wasn't wanted there.

I also thought (this sounds cray) that I needed a new group of friends. The friends I came up with in Pittsburgh were friends from high school and the older I got (and that from was a predominantly white private school), I realized that I didn't have much (if anything) in common with them. I guess I was looking to find more people I could relate to moving to NY and I did.

I'm about to relocate to the south in a week or two from the NJ-NY area, so I'll see if it changes.:manny:


It's gonna be interesting tho... because I'm not familiar with the south at all because I've spent all of my life in the north so it's gonna be a whole new experience for me. :ehh:

My birth name was dikk Whitman and I was born in Illinois to a 22-year-old prostitute (who died giving birth to me). I was subsequently given to my biological father Archie andt stepmother Abigail. My dad used to beat the hell out of me on a regular basis and Abigail verbally abused me, referring to me as a "whore child" and neglecting me. I never finisheded high school and eventually ran away to enlist in the U.S. Army. I was sent to fight in the Korean War and put under the command of a Lieutenant Donald F. Draper. During an enemy artillery attack, Lt. Draper was killed by a gasoline explosion accidentally caused by me, which charred Draper's body beyond recognition. Seeing this, I removed Lt. Draper's dog tags, switching them with my own. I later awoke in a hospital, was presumed to be Draper, and was awarded the Purple Heart. Eventually I (as Draper) moved to New York City where I worked as a fur salesman and attended City College at night. Roger Sterling discovered me at this job, and brought me to work at Sterling Cooper. Now I'm a massively successful ad exec with a beautiful blonde wife and 3 kids and I need to do everything I can to stop anybody from finding out about my former identity.

That's cool. It's mad cheap down there isn't it? I have family from St.Croix and Jersey and they moved down to ATL. They're living in 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom houses with a good amount of land that would cost them the same as renting some 2 bedroom shack in NYC.

Make sure you don't bring your up north attitude with you in the south. Every time I meet up with someone from up north they tend to be arrogant and hostile.
