Compatibility with people where you live

Got to thinking about how connected, compatible, or relatable we feel with people in our area, community, city, region, town, etc.


Sometimes, i feel a big disconnect, mainly cultural and sometimes personal, with the people who live in my area, etc. There's a feeling of difference i can't articulate. There's no connection, etc. There's the sense of always having to try a bit too hard to feel somewhat at ease. Not that i don't interact or have good relationships with people, but there's a definite disconnect with the culture of the cities/towns where I live.


So, do you feel a sense of compatibility with people where you live? If yes, how? If not, why do you think?

Nearly all the boys (99%) have silly haircuts and tacky jewellery and loud-engined cars... The girls wander around aimlessly, trying to get their
