New In Town
If you are new, making friends is all ON you.
They do not care.
They are established.
They have their friends.
Be careful though.
If you try too hard, they will think something
is wrong with you.
If you do not try hard enough, they will say
that you are stuck up, unfriendly, snotty, rude.
Weirdly enough, there is an exact middle of the road balance you have to find.
The trick is, that each neighbor’s middle of the road spot is unique.
So you have to be a great people-reader in order to make new friends at all.
Good luck new neighbor.
