Oh, shoot, Caitlin! I am always amazed at how different anothers' perspective can be from my own. Never, for a minute did I even consider that you had said anything that suggested that you had lost any objectivity. In fact, what you did say was certainly how you 'felt', and there is never any reason not to express that. I was talking only about myself and my experiences and not in comparison to you or anyone else. Besides, to have any objectivity at all, I believe that everyone must first accept their inital 'gut sense' and work outward from there to expand their own horizons as you get to know each person as a distinct individual and that is when the realization comes to you that, though stereotypes are a starting point, that is not static, yet understandable.

I completely understood that your post was about only the initial take on people and as a group, I thought I agreed with you; that NYers seem to be much more 'in your face' than the average bear. And, for me, I usually enjoy that 'in your face' style of communication. I say, usually here, because it can become extremely tiring for everyone around. LOL 💘💘💘✨ - El
