Sounds like you're the weird one
I don’t have blue hair and 10000000000 piercings
Yeah but that's not exclusive to NYC, you're going to find that in a lot of places across the country. Is this your first time living in a big city or something?
New Yorkers are the opposite end of the spectrum from the strange homeschooled kid. It changes you to grow up with minimal human interaction, but equally if you live in a shoebox with people you don’t know / hate an all six sides of your one room.
Additionally, the way to stand out in a flood of people is to be objectively weird. However, all that does is raise the bar on weirdness needed and lower the bar on what draws public comment and approbation. No social regulation from your fellow citizens, and it’s bad for everyone involved.
takes the expression of "four walls" to a whole new meaning
Manhattanites are about being yourself and expressing yourself. People from smaller cities out of state are used to fitting in. In NYC you can be whoever you want to be.
NY has eight million people in it. If you walk down an average street and see someone, odds are you'll never see them again. Why would they give a shit what others think? I agree with Isaiah, you can be whoever the hell you want to be in NY
Sounds like you’re just boring, maybe Charlotte would be more your speed
I’m literally an expat and have studied/lived in 4 different countries, New York is just different
Stop saying NY the when you mean NYC.
I grew up here. Some Manhattanites love the fast pace and bustle, which is what other smart people who come from elsewhere love about new york, the stimulus. It isn't a great place if you move slowly. Those people who like the fast-paced environment, especially if you grow up here, have idiosyncrasies based on being around the best things the world has to offer, food, culture, urban violence/street cred. The people who don't like fast paced but grew up here, develop more introverted idiosyncrasies.
lol as someone who grew up in the UES, hearing transplants say "Manhattanites" is cringy as hell. Really trying to separate themselves from the rest of the city. The population that I assume you probably have interacted with is a very small say around 200-250k people out of the 8.5 million people that live in NYC. The true New Yorkers are very different from that small subset and if you live here beyond a decade, you will see that too. Until then buckle up.
I moved to NYC recently too and I love it out here. I saw a tiktok (or some other social) about how people in other cities are "nice but not kind" but in NYC people are "kind but not nice". I have found this to be 100% true and, personally, I think it makes for the better of the two options. I'm still adjusting but I'm glad I made the move out here.
Majority of "New Yorkers" are not from NY
