People treat me as an outsider here in California, because I'm from the Midwest. People in my neighborhood treat me as an outsider, because I am of a different culture. People at work treat me as an outsider, because I am the only woman. There will always be something or someone that will set you apart from the masses. -Seems like their problem, not mine.
Maybe you do think too much....but at the same time, it's subjective, as so many people are going to agree and disagree. I come from a small city in Idaho, and wow...the bitterness locals had about the influx of people(mostly from California) from other cities. Now I live in Austin. Unsure about how others feel about my presence. But I left for reasons, as we all do. I 'live' here. I'm not visiting. Yet, still I feel a weird step back when I tell people I'm a transplant.
People will experience “living” or “visiting” some place in their own way.
Those who want to go to visit or live somewhere need to do their own research and assess what they see, read and hear. They need to understand the nuance, the bias of the source.
This is a great, related article.

You don't think too much. I'm more afraid of people who don't think enough.
