I had the same experience living in Vermont. While I love
Vermont b/c it's so beautiful, it was really hard to meet people
there and make friends. Not only b/c of the isolating country environment,
but also the people there just had a certain attitude...Kind of "kept to
themselves"....you had to live there for like 10 years before you would
be accepted as "one of them". It's so much easier for me to make friends where
I live now...I don't know if it's the difference between the warm and cold environments
or what....(I live in the south now)...but people just seem much more open and friendly.
Come live here--in Durham, North Carolina--people are great, there's plenty of culture,
and it's extremely gay friendly. Here, you practically have to feel a little sheepish if
you admit to being straight :-)It's rough not having those "real" friends around...that year I lived
in Vermont...I was so lonely I think it made me more than a little nuts.
You need people you can _really_ talk with, and really laugh with.
