How easy it is as an outsider to make friends. You guys are nice as hell. I moved here, back at the start of 2024. I've got my small group of friends back in New Zealand and thought I'd have trouble making new ones. But Americans have been some of the friendliest people I've met.
If you're from somewhere else, that's instant intrigue, and you'll have no shortage of Americans wanting to chat with you and befriend you. ☠️
I was on a solo trip, lying on the beach somewhere in Florida. A man with a sun shelter near me saw I was burning the f up. He invited me over to his shelter. I was hesitant to accept, as I knew it was common for Americans to extend an invitation without expecting you to accept.
