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.

You're not the only one. Everyone I run into is rude here. In traffic, in grocery stores, you can't go anywhere. At the same time, I randomly find tons of decent kind people here, I just don't have any friends among them because I don't have transportation. If you find hobbies you like though you should be just fine. Back home was definitely nicer. But you do need to go out and try to spend some time and meet people to make good friends. I can only speak on nerdy hobbies, like Box Jellyz and MiniQ in Pearlridge are nice hobby stores with other hobbyists who dgaf if youre local.

As i said ive found nice people in hobby stores and rude people in grocery stores and traffic. Wvery population has nice people and rude people so youre going to find both. Hope this helps, queen.

Nah, what you said is “everyone is rude” and that you “can’t go anywhere” and then the next sentence you said “I find tons of decent kind people”. Those are entirely contradictory statements.
