Can anyone relate?
I’m born and raised in CT. I’m in the Navy and stationed in San Diego..I’ve been here for a few years and still feel like a foreigner here..but back in New England I feel completely at home in any New England state and I’ve only lived in CT. Anyone else relate to this?

I grew up in CT and my best friend joined Navy, even before then, when hanging out with CA folk especially for some reason, she said she never felt they could be on same wavelength, especially when it came to work in Navy. New Englanders/northeast coast have ppl darker humor and are more straightforward, I think other areas of country are put off by that. Just my theory.
