I can’t stress this enough. GET OUT OF YOUR HOMETOWN. Even if it’s not forever. Move. Travel. See the world. There is more to life than the same 10 people and the same 2 bars.
You should be a good person ONLY bc it’s the right thing to do. You will rarely get reciprocity. You can’t model good behavior in hopes of getting it back. Attempting to do so is manipulation. Having character is a choice, & often a lonely one. Be good bc you are good.
