Yes. I grew up in Seattle and people rarely make eye contact. It&#x27;s terrible. It wasn&#x27;t until I visited other areas that I realized that it wasn&#x27;t just me.<p>People here do want to be forced out of their shell though. If you don&#x27;t require the slightest bit of affirmation in your personality, you&#x27;ll do fine in Seattle. If not you&#x27;ll most certainly get the blues. I do fine on some days and then sometimes it&#x27;s just a chore.
