So many brilliant insights here that perfectly describe the underlying issues of "MN nice"!

You nailed this: "we Minnesotans have a fear of being lied to and deceived, because we know how nicely it can be done."

Also this!!! "To conceal your true self, is to lie to those you love."

I haven’t even watched Love is Blind Minneapolis and no, that’s not me squirming on the 4 train from 14th to Brooklyn reading this post, many decades removed from living in MSP, wondering how the hell the author read many, many of my personal journal entries. So so so so insightful.

Kelly!! 🥲 I’m so^4 excited you read this, let alone felt this. Isn’t the state of ours something? And I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Feeeeeeel soooo similar about Southern niceness too. I really enjoyed reading this, "a polite deception" just the phrase itself explains it all.
