I just had to reread the OP, it's even funnier than I remember!

Just read the 1st post, the rest is fluff.

Yup,

I don't understand the dissatisfied morose feelings. I came to Switzerland 15 months ago, I've had nothing but good vibes from the Swiss where I live. I think it also goes on a person's personality, if you give off a keep away vibe no one will want to interact with you.

This.

Switzerland is not nirvana. And I’m sure people sometimes end up in miserable circumstances which may or may not be of their own doing. When we moved here in 2007 from North Carolina, I was more comfortable here than I was in North Carolina....I’d already spent several years feeling like a foreigner in my own country.

Sometimes shit happens, it’s not always your fault. But sometimes people have a huge sense of entitlement and expectations that are unreasonable.
