Came here to say the same thing. I loved being a transplant living in Nola. All the old ladies were so nice to my friends and I.

Like we've got sweet grandmas up in New England, but I haven't been called "sugar" by anyone since I moved home.

If someone you dont know in New England calls you "Sugar," call the cops, like right then.

I assume because it would be hella creepy! I'm in the Boston area. We call each other "kid". Hey kid!

Nobody says stuff like that to strangers up here. It's just not our way. We're still friendly, just not like that.

I don't know about friendly lol

Been living near Boston for a couple years now and on western mass a year before that and everyone seems pretty cold

Depends on where you're from, I guess. I've lived in New England for about 35 years, but I've been a lot of places. All the US states, a bunch of different countries.

New Englanders seem cold, but that's just the way people are up here. It's always been that way. We're so close together, minding your own business is really the only way to get along. 

However, I've had a bunch of flat tires in New England, and somebody always stops to try and help. I've pushed a lot of cars out of snowy ditches myself.

I was just thinking this 🤣 ever been to Philly? Friendly is NOT necessarily the term I'd use.

its a different friendly.   my car got stuck once in philly late at night and people stopped, got out, helped me push it, made sure i was safe, and left.  hardly spoke a word.

Yeah you have a point actually. I misinterpret "brash" and ball busting as unfriendly often. Nuances in communication alude the ever living fuck outta me.
