Why do people in Boston seem depressed, act so unfriendly and hardly talk on the "T" train?

If you want to hug people, go someplace else. This is not your town. New England (minus Cn) not your place.

"Cn"?

I don't talk to strangers on the T because you might end up talking to someone from Colorado.

Because it is a big city subway system. NYC/London/Tokyo/DC all are the same way as well.

Probably because everyone is being squeezed by the crappy

economy and overburdened by taxes.

Kind of makes it difficult to stay upbeat.

They're mostly liberals and when liberals let down their over-happy facade and reflect on their meaningless, self-loathing lives where they failed "to save the world" and never met their Disney prince/princess they revert back to the cold, dreary people they truly are.

Mostly liberals? Only about 1/3 of registered voters are Democrats.

What year are you living in?

Significant of nothing. This is a one-party state.

^ Sounds like Mr. Grumpy is living in his head again. What a shame.

Because you're the annoying out-of-town guy looking for smiles and rainbows in everything you see.

Can you name a single big city where people act friendly and talk to each other on public transportation?

The big city can be a tough sell for hicks like you.If you have to ask...

I couldn't figure this out during the year I lived there. I'm from Colorado

People on a train can spot a rube in a flash......you probably got spotted quicker.

Why in the heII would you want to talk to a stranger on the train anyway? You some kind of weirdo?

Because you are only talked to if you're(colloquialism)

"not a bad guy."

"This is a one-party state."

Which has a long-standing tradition of electing Republican Governors. The people who really have the power --know as "The Vault"-- are not liberal.

Anyway who cares if they're liberal. You want something different go to Tulsa.

Why do people who aren't from the East Coast expect everyone to constantly engage in shallow displays of fake friendliness?
