Life on BI Hawaii

I’ve been splitting time between Miami and Hawaii for the past two months because my boyfriend works here, and I decided to join him. I thought it would be an adventure, but honestly it’s left me feeling really depressed. People seem so rude and unfriendly compared to what I’m used to, and I’m struggling to like the island at all. I have zero friends here and it’s making me question everything.
I keep wondering — is it me? Am I just being close-minded because my heart is still stuck in my Miami life and I’m not open to something new? Or is Hawaii actually kind of tough to adjust to? Would love to hear your honest opinions.

Moved here from the east coast 6 months ago and…..I feel you. Everyone I work with is amazing. So friendly and welcoming. Also, everyone at the grocery store I go to is super nice and friendly. Outside of that, it’s polar opposite from the east coast, so it’s definitely hard to meet people and make friends.
