Especially around this place where I now reside. (I had one local describe the prevalent behavior here as 'Nordic taciturn', and they see me as really gregarious. Like, loudly so. Which is hysterical to myself, as where I am from, folks see me as rather introverted, even though I was a performer.)

But, I appreciate the support. I am trying to be more expressive and less 'enraged to the point of lashing out at everyone and everything'.

You know... typical Taurian behavior.
