After visiting a different city I am beginning to believe the Vancouver social scene isn't for me. No one cares that I left, or that I've returned. I'm pretty sure that my roommates like that I pay rent on time, but other than that they couldn't care less about me. Friends only message when they're down and in need of support - which is rarely reciprocated: I can't remember the last time someone asked me how I was really doing when I'm spinning out of control. Everyone seems to only care about their status; social, financially, etc. So I go to a different city and it seems like people respect each other and are considerate towards one another. In Vancouver I've been trying to online date and just feel worthless in doing so. If I match I'll send a message and not get a response. I guess "hi, how are you" isn't enough somehow?! I don't know how else to open a conversation. It's been a few years of this. Different city - I actually chatted with and met an amazing person within a few days. Now I'm back in Vancouver wondering if this is where I should be. My heart is dying seeing how people treat each other on the street and online (confessions is sad to read these days). Everyone is so defensive and adversarial; it only makes me wonder how we arrived here. It's such a waste of energy. Kinda babbling here, guess I didn't realize how dissonant my feelings towards the place (And it's people) in which I live.
