How friendly are people in ATL/how open are they to making friends? Just moved from Chicago to Dallas with my family and there's a huge cultural difference in terms of how friendly people are.

People are nice but I don’t have many friends who I actually do stuff with regularly on the weekends 🥺

Exactly^, went to college here and starting my career here (hopefully people are friendly post grad). I feel that a lot of Georgians that I met from college are cordial nice and want to come off that way but don’t necessarily want to be friends with you. Some already have their main friend groups and just want you for going out etc

Atlanta is a mixing pot like so many cities. Two of the primary metro counties (Cobb and Gwinnett) have been some of the fastest growing in the US since 1980. Not unlike other growing areas like Dallas, Phoenix or Austin.
The most outgoing neighbors in my immediate vicinity are yankees from New York. Who would've guessed? We have folks from Georgia, California, Ohio, and Virginia as well.

Dallas, GA or Dallas, TX? I feel like people in Dallas TX are usually pretty friendly. If you're in Atlanta proper people are also very friendly. Atlanta has a lot of transplants (Dallas TX, too!) so you wouldn't be alone in that regard.

SC1- my wife is from there. Also OP was talking about moving to Dallas, but about culture in Atlanta. Pretty okay assumption it could have been Dallas, GA since their post wasn't really clear about why they wanted to know about Atlanta culture

Atlanta is great, you just have to put yourself out there. Go to events even if you’re by yourself. We have wine festivals, volunteer activities, 5Ks. These are all easy places to meet people.

Chicago culture is a little different from Texas/ATL (southern culture). There are transplants at all three locations so it should be a melting pot but dominant cultures are still there

Advice for getting over feelings of jealousy? Also related for me, how can I learn to be indifferent to people I don’t like… rather than actively dislike them? I feel jealous feelings only when it’s someone I don’t like. I want to get over both feelings… learn to be truly indifferent to others. I try to tell myself I shouldn’t care, but so far I am yet to feel it. On the inside I do know it bothers me.
