Usually New Age attitude fanatics. I told someone people were nicer to me in Costa Rica. They reasoned it was because I was different, had a different attitude, outlook, energy, etc.

I flew into California with all this positive energy, wanting to connect with people but nobody was interested in connecting with others. Everywhere I went people avoided talking to others. In bars, on the streets, on the bus, on the train. Actually when I find Americans are being uptight I found refuge in foreigners with their socially relaxed vibes.

So how the hell do we explain that our frustrations socially are just our own personal flaw?

That's the price we have to pay for being human. Its not easy. No one said its easy. Its the toughest job in the galaxy, just to be a human being. Just take it in your stride and move on and learn. The rewards would be far greater with all the experience you have accumulated.

You are on the right track...Don't let negative vibes distract you....I also meet lot of negative people we all do...but its worth it I believe for being human....
