I HATE Connecticut!

want to start a "i hate connecticut support group?"

Ugh..I'm not alone. I grew up in Connecticut and hated it. Moved to beautiful San Diego, went to college there and lived there for 8 years, Through a series of unfortunate events I moved ack to CT. I've been here a year and totally realize why I left in the first place. People think everything is their business here, so much drama.  I miss the laid back "whatever" attitude of SoCal. I never had a group of girls to hang out with here growing up because I can't stand their attitudes and the drama/ gossip/bitchiness. In Cali, I had so many wonderful girls, we nebver talked about eachother or got jealous- we were real friends.  And again, I have nto found that in CT.  Ugh, I'm starting law school next year and will probably stay on east coast (ugh) I dream of one day returning to San DIego, the best city ever.   And yes CT sux- the weather, the people (for the most part), the roads, the beaches, the "nightlife", etc...it all sux.

I have live all over the US, and by some freak accident, I wound up in CT.  I am married, have kids, and a house, and because CT is so damn expensive, I can never get enough money to move out of this state.  My life will be a struggle due to the money (or lack of) and the snobby, better-than-you, look at me wrong and I will sue you people that surround me.  Yes, CT is beautiful, but it should be when it's filled with homes that aren't affordable by the average Joe.  You hate CT?  I loathe it!

Wow! seems like most of you people have serious issues! CT people are wonderful, and drama??? Are you sure you had friends here in CT? This is interesting because when I lived in the south...most of the girls were materialistic, judgemental, and religious freaks! Not to mention very ignorant and sheltered! And reading all these post makes me realize how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful, affluent, and wealthy state! For all of you who want to go back where you came from just ask me for the extra cash and I'll be sure to buy your one way ticket! Get a life losers! We dont want you here anyway!

I'll take  one o' them tickets!

Well been liveing in ct. for 40 years, and let me tell you i'm out, it was nice when i was a kid not to many ritch yuppies judgeing and changeing the local lifestyles, ct. has become the home of the stiffed knecked judgeing, idiots i ever seen, id devalued greatlly over the years, there selling land in the my neiborhod letting these fly by night buissnesses in, can't shop in ct. without some idiot blocking the isle thinking he owns the place, pepole running qround acting like there in a hurry, frigin kids are raised like spoiled brats , the teens drive there rice burnners at 80 miles on hour thinking there hot shit, if i had a gun i'de prob. shoot one, bridgeport i call (monkey port) home of the welfare monkeyville should be nuked off of the map, the pepole who run buissnesses in ct. don't know what the hell there doing, they couldn't hire the right person if it saved there lives, the women in ct. are lieing evil bitches from hell, unless you have money your nothing, so ct. pepole keep your wasteland, i got a better life in another state paying cheaper rent and getting more while i laghe at you

i agree, ct. suck big ass dick, i took a vacation to ct. and it SUCKED! i warnned other , and many others have aggreed that ct. sucks, all your good for is LANDFILL!! so ct. people should die a horrable death, the people suck to, there rude, can't drive worth a shit, fuck ct. , rich ass retards

I'm here for college simply because my field of study isn't found anywhere else (puppetry). I come from PA home of Crayola Crayons the largest free admission amusement park in America and of course lots of beautiful trees. The people here (who actually like living and being from Connecticut) are the most self righteous, egotistical, emotionally dead people I have ever met in my life. The entire state is littered with high end shopping malls, kids who think they're the next best thing to happen to the world, and people who would never stoop to using a laundromat. I wonder if the NIGHTMARISH winters here have numbed all of their hearts and brains! My roommate is the most condescending, manipulative and egotistical person I've ever met, and most of the other kids at this college are the same. They're all fake automatons living in what they see as a utopia but is really a snob shit hole.

Hey, I've got an idea we should take to Congress. Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York (well, the part south of I-84) should just consolidate into one state so all of the assholes in our country can be from the same place. I even have a proposed name for the new territory: HELL.

I just stopped by to check out your site.

Ct sucks big balls the people here are cunt bags fuck everything about ct. paul strukus and people i work with are also assholes

that's very nice,I'm very agree.I like it

CT is an awful place to live, but then again so are other places, to be fair. I grew up here and still live here. After living in S. FL for several years I came to realize just how irritating the people in this state are. The 2 biggest problems in CT are the horrific weather and the people.

They are very judgmental and selfish for starters. They have some very peculiar habits: ie staring at you; smiling at you when you look at them, mandatory holding of doors; hogging the isles of stores; driving slow; etc. The sad thing is that don't even realize how rude and obnoxious they truly are. And the other thing is the automatic distain for anything that is not CT. I worked with 2 people who hated the most beautiful places they visited for the most bizarre reasons. Very odd to me.  They seem to be very closed minded people who don't enjoy diversity at all. And another thing, I come from an Italian heritage and I have never heard such ignorant dispariging words about my nationality as I have from people from CT.

We moved here my husband  and I for reasons I honestly can't remember today. What a mistake!!!! We d even bought a house (trying to live the American dream) another huge mistake. 1 year later we really hate this place, the house we bought seems to be a cord around our neck and worst of all are the people. After a year I managed to make 1 friend, none of my friends in other places I have been can't believe that we are having such hard time to create a social life. And God knows How much we try, but how can you when people around you are cold

like death, narrow minded, judgemental, sneaky, fake. I honestly never seen anything like this, and I lived in many states and country. I can't blame the cold, because people in Montreal are nicer and more open minded. God, I just need to finish my contract , sell our house and run as fast as we can from this hell.

I really hate Connecticut

I was born and raised here in connecticut for the past 22 years, and since then it has been very hard making friends in this state. It is even harder to support yourself financially. Many of the people that i had gotten along with moved away, when i ask them 'why'? they all say that it was just too damn boring and expensive.

To be fair with this state, it does have its fair share of problems that any other state faces i.e. crime, taxes,etc. But it is true that the people here are snobbish as well as closed-minded. Also don't be surprised if you find that it is completely devoid of culture.

I moved to the Spartanburg area of  South Carolina in 2003 after living in Ct. for 38 years.  

One thing in particular I don't miss about Ct. is the  constant and excessive foul language. Although people sometimes curse down here to, people from Ct. seem to enjoy it.  Even worse, they dont just curse when they're mad, but direct vile language at other people.  

Say what you want about the bible belt. But if nothing else, it does serve to influence mannerism within this region.  Lack of church influence in Ct. might therefore  partially explain why too many people behave the way they do.

My aunt, a native South Carolinian likes to refer to new england as the land of the unchurched.  

The weather sounds like Chicago but there's less to see in CT.  At least here you can stretch out at a bunch of museums or at least you get adjusted to the weather.  i used to hate not having a garage though, that sucked.

I grew up in SC and moved up here to CT 10 years ago. Im dying to get out of this state and move back down south. I hate the weather and especially the people!! CT natives dont understand unless they've been down south, its a totally different lifestyle..

Not sure who the hell signed my name on here, but I never wrote any of that. Whoever the sad and lonely person is that felt they needed to represent me, I feel sorry for you. Get a real life, some real friends and leave me out of it.

Please disregard the comment above from Joe Murdocca as it was not posted by him but by someone else. While conducting an internet search he has come across this post and is appalled that someone would put this here. The opinion written is not his opinion.

Thank you.

LMFAO!!!!

This state does suck and I've been stuck in it my entire life...looking forward to brilliant change!

Just moved to CT.....moved from the south and I can't stand it here.  Hate everything about New England so far.  I'm sure it is a nice place to visit but I would not want to live here.  Oh wait, i do...where is that prozac.  

to Missing the South:  really sorry, it doesn't get better here.  New England is bad, CT is the worst.  I'm from Maryland/DC and stuck here 10 years.  If you can't leave because your spouse got a job here or whatever, you're going to have to hunker down, stay off the prozac, and try to come up with some MAJOR new projects in life to preserve your sense of well-being (and keep from becoming like the cold-hearted, selfish, angry natives).

OMG......I thought me an my GF were the only ones! We hate CT, everything you guys said is so true!  Please lets start the damn group! This place sucks and it drags you in. Im out of here in a month and everytime I talk to some one about moving its like its forbidden! They have that look on their face like "You cant leave CT.......thats....thats not possible". They all look so shocked! and for what? Its just Moving. People here are so wierd. I have friends everywhere else but here! That goes to show you how they are. I love all you people that wrote these comments...keep it up lol Lets Start the group.( Notice the dates on these comments, this discussion has been going on for years! thats how bad it is here).

Doug again:

Lived the first 40- years of my life in Ct. and now live in South Carolina. Most of my family are generational southerners so I am well aquainted culturally with both these regions.

Let me assure all of you that southern people have their share of aggravating behaviours and social shortcummings( albeit, different of course). I mention this because many people from the New England states show interest in moving south. But what you don't hear about is that  some of them end up moving back to their cold, depressed northen states because they found out the grass isn't always greener someplace else.

Move south if you can tolerate:

-The land of the 40- year old grandma.

- Passive-aggressive nature of southerners being friendly to your face and talk smac behind your back.

- the highest homicide rate per region by a wide margin.

- the highest divorce rate per region in the US despite being the most religious.

- Meth use and manufacturing is a major problem in much of the south. Whatever meth problems you have in Ct. ain't no problem at all.

- Rural areas in the south often have a disproportionate amount of serious crime based on it's population due to poverty, combined with a skewed sense of southern honor which  often leads to interpersonal conflict.  Very, very different situation indeed compared to those quaint, rural and safe weekend excursions to all- white Vemont, New Hampshire and Maine.

- Fat people all over the place. The concept of health, is just that. . .a concept.

- virtually no consideration or concern of open space and land preservation in general like Connecticut and the rest of New England. When an area begins to develope, they end up building the shit out of it with high-density treeless subdivisions and commecial districts that seem to go on forever.

- The land of  contradiction: You see a billboard and on it says "come worship with us, First Baptist church of whatever". As you continue driving you see another bill board and this one says "Lucy's Love Shop" next exit. Go figure.

- Don't even get me started on billboards, those ugly eyesores. No concept of visual pollution.

Enough bashing on the south. . .

Granted, many people from Connecticut are a miserable bunch. I'll even go as far and say that they seem to take a kinda "pride in in their combination misery/arrogance. I certainly don't miss the middle fingers, the honking of horns because I didn't go the second the light turned green, nor the constant profanity directed "at " other people. But in all honesty, I'll probably move back north(not Ct.) in another year. The only thing different I found is the the people down here just have different problems and besides I miss my ice fishing and snowmobiling too much. Guess that rules out SC- huh.

Doug
