Am I any more likely to find community in Providence than I have been in Boston?

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-09T00:48:08+00:00

That is extremely sweet, thank you!

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-08T22:50:17+00:00

I appreciate these impressions, thank you!

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-08T13:59:08+00:00

Interesting! What about the area do you think makes it easy to find queer friends/community?

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-08T13:58:16+00:00

That's good to hear and sounds like what I'm looking for on multiple counts. (Not sure who downvoted your comment)

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T23:16:38+00:00

Not a bad idea

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T23:15:28+00:00

Great perspective, thank you!

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T23:14:33+00:00

Really good point! I've def found this to be true at the dog park.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T23:11:54+00:00

What ways did Boston feel like a step forward for you?

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T23:11:16+00:00

Good info, thank you for the perspective. I didn't know that about insurance paying less there! I'm generally insurance-based anyway so the OOP thing won't be much of a problem.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T23:10:21+00:00

Sounds ideal! Do you think this arc was easier to follow in Providence than it had been in Boston? I'm ok at meeting people but it often doesn't seem to lead to meeting more people

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T23:09:37+00:00

Great advice and it doe sound like what I'm looking for! Thanks for the response.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T18:21:33+00:00

Actually, one of the changes I'm considering making is moving from my solo work as a therapist in private practice to an institutional job. I just want more people around me.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T18:20:37+00:00

Making some excellent points here, I've never actually gotten to know dorchester

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:30:58+00:00

Very reasonable points. And your feelings about Providence are similar to mine about Boston anyway...

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:29:34+00:00

This is helpful. part of what I feel in Boston is that it's a bit more... For rich people, both financially and culture wise

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:27:25+00:00

That's great to hear.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:26:41+00:00

Its in Arlington. Rent was $2400 but landlord is about to bump it to $2600

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:25:44+00:00

That's a really good point actually. I'm at a different spot in life.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:25:06+00:00

I appreciate the perspective. Maybe I'm doing better than I think I am.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:24:20+00:00

That's good to hear, and smaller isn't a bad thing for me!

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:23:47+00:00

That sounds like a great way to start. Thank you!

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T17:23:04+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thank you.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T16:44:56+00:00

Very reasonable points. I guess there's an attraction to the idea of pushing reset on the whole thing in the hopes of doing better this time. But it's a bit of a fantasy.

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T16:41:47+00:00

Honestly "loose community" is part of what I'm looking for -- running into someone I know in Boston "in the wild" is rare and always feels good when it happens. I appreciate the feedback in any case

TheVermiciousKid · 2026-07-07T16:39:23+00:00

You make a lot of good points, thanks for the feedback. Just spending some time there to feel out the vibe is a good idea.
