It's just isolated!!! OP has no point. She needs to take her meds stat. Wow, California is a huge, diverse state. You think Los Angelenos are mellow until you start driving in the city. They drive horribly in NYC, too. Yes, in a different way, R At least they don't waste time in traffic the way people do in LA. That's the geographical nature of LA, not the character defects of its people. Oh my sides, r20! In Bakersfield! Cali recently rated 50 in quality of life in US states. Desperate Living.

We are either surfers or pretentious rich kids. Also, you can't really compare the level of kindness in LA or New York to that of the rest of the US, because they are major cities. Major cities in every country are often considered to be a bit more rude because: One, you have a large amount of people in a small area so your percentage of people that would be rude or aggressive will always be statistically higher; Two, major cities are far more fast paced on average so disputes are slightly more likely than a calmer suburban environment.
I don't think one can make generalizations about California, because it's such an enormous state with such diversity.
I think if you hang out a lot in parts of LA and Orange County, you'll find a ton of really stuck-up, shallow, image-obsessed people that aren't the nicest bunch On the other hand, there are many parts of California that are full of really sweet, kind, generous and polite people as well.

It helps to be mindful that L. My first friend in L. Next, we threw a small party at my house for an author I knew. Before long, Cathy and I, with French journalist Emmanuelle Richard, were bringing together hundreds of people, mainly journalists and authors, at monthly book parties we threw at bars and restaurants around L. In just a few years in Los Angeles, I not only found close friends but helped create a vibrant community of writers and thinkers.
In the community in L. I was running late for an appointment, but I gave them quick directions. The man thanked me, but he looked confused. I ran to my car, pulled out a pen and paper and wrote the directions down.
