Hey, why not. It was what you were feeling and a part of who you are. I don't remember much when I get really drunk. Wish I had a few of these to look at. Sorry your friends didn't show.
I never thought I would hear you say something about Regina being better than Toronto...
It takes a long time to figure out big city people. They have a way different view of things. Also the environment has way more distractions and if someone is trying to do it all something will be lost. Maybe they did try to find you and gave up and decided that you're flakey.
It's a good idea for anyone to be able to stand on their own two feet emotionally. You had a plan and it didn't work out and you're blaming the city, the gay community and others. I suggest not bringing them into it.
Yes the big city can be quite different....but not EVERYONE is that bad.
I was born and raised in LA, but I have honestly found that the most pretentious and annoying people are the ones who came here from small midwestern or southern towns. It's like they move to Los Angeles and start acting like they are really fabulous and better than everyone. In general, I find the people that are actually from here are far more down to earth than the people who migrated here.
Obviously, I don' t know ho wit is in Canada but that is what I have found here.
When people arrive in Toronto from smaller towns, it seems to them like they don't have to put a lot of effort into relationships - there's always another pretty face, so no need to inconvenience yourself. In reality, it is a big town with small, small circles, and after a while this kind of behaviour bites them in the butt and they have to move on. Look for people who've lived successfully in Toronto for more than 10 years, your chances with them are better.
This has been my experience as well. On the surface it appears to be unstructured and without guidelines but really it isn't. It's a microcosm of humanity so there'll be all types. I remember at first thinking I was lost in a huge crowd when I first moved to Vancouver. Now I realize that at first it appeared to be an endless flow of new people, and now later that has become a finite number of people. Just like in a smaller place I'm friends with some of the people I first met when I moved here. We've gone through stuff and I know who's still around and some aren't. Also I think they've figured me out. I might have seemed a bit odd to them as they didn't know where I was coming from either. Now they know how mundane I really am.
