If you lived somewhere different, would it affect your personality?

That's a great question. I was born in the south and have always been happy, cheerful, and nice to everyone I meet. I smile at everyone I pass, it's just natural (and I hate to say it but in the south everyone is related to everyone else, or at least related to someone they know) Anyway, I moved to Hollywood, CA after college and lived there for 6 years. I only just moved back to SC. Boy did that time in LA change my personality. I became withdrawn, less cheerful. In LA, if you smile at someone on the street, they look at you as though you are crazy. You learn to just stay to yourself and be less outgoing, if not so that others don't think you're crazy, but also to protect yourself from all the other crazies. It's taken me a while to get my self-esteem and cheerfulness back to where it was so many years ago before I left. I guess there's just no place like home. I'm interested to see how others respond. Especially those who have moved to other areas.

I'm not sure if it can affect personalities but it definitely affects people's moods.\nFor example in the winter alot of people suffer with a type of depression called SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) which is relative to the amount of sunshine they get. As sunshine affects our 'happy' hormones the majority of people seem happier when the weather is good.

I think this mostly depends on where you live.

Depends on where you are, but most likely, yes.

It changes depending on what you do, you have more of a chance of living alone if you reject other people and seclude yourself, than if you interact and be friendly.

it really depends on the person. I know someone who had implants who became much more mellow, but I've heard about people who go wild with overconficdence and end up ruining their lives.\nIt really does depend on the individual and their personality.

What about your personality?  Are you cold?

If there are true friends, they will understand your feelings. Moving from one extreme to another has made you see what your preferences are as far as where you choose to live. You are happy. They shouldnt hold that against you. Just explain how going back made you feel, the good about seeing them and the bad about the city.

maybe your personality/look just isn't compatible with the people you are surrounded by. i dunno i think that's my problem. everyone here hates me or treats me bad but people i meet from the other side of the country are nice and interesting. i'm definitely moving one of these days.

I think it depends on location, social station, gender, religion, family and everything else that matters wherever you live.

I think some will Beautiful! Alot of it would depend on the individual circuimstances. Some will stay no matter what may happen while others will leave immediately. It really just depends on the personality of the individual and the issues that caused it.\nGood question.

I used to live there and I'm not dull witted and rude.  According to my wife I'm just an a-hole, but not dumbwitted or rude.  I might have been dull witted and rude when I lived there though, I don't remember.

Yes, but in varying degrees. Clothing (or the entire lack there of) does not change a persons basic personality traits. What it does do is remind them of the confines and expectations to up hold, in the atmosphere which surrounds them. \n\nYou can put a flirt in a 3 piece suit, and the flirtation will still be there, simply in a more refined manner. Put that same flirt in a backyard BBQ, in a pair of shorts and the flirtation takes on a more open, playful & risque energy.
