Not able to like this City. Am I missing something? I am in my late 20s
I’ve lived in Bangalore for years, stayed in Pune for around 4 years, and recently moved to Gurgaon because my client location is here (office is in Noida). One big reason I moved to Delhi NCR was that it’s closer to my hometown, so I can travel on weekends and take care of my parents.
But honestly, I’m struggling to like this place.
I live around Sector 21/22 area, and the experience has been frustrating. Roads are a mess, something chaotic is always happening, traffic feels terrible, and there’s this constant uneasy vibe. Civic Sense is 0 and nobody follows traffic rules, the electric rickshaw people and their way of driving is sucking up my energy. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I often find the environment stressful and sometimes even creepy. I’m a man, and even I don’t always feel comfortable because of the random fights, hooliganism, and general chaos around. Prostitution,SPA and what not is there if you are roaming late night near Metro Station.
My lifestyle is pretty simple — I don’t drink, smoke, party, or have a girlfriend. Most of my time revolves around work, family, books and being available when the client calls me onsite. I tried online dating but it's full of scams.
Now I’m stuck in a dilemma. The only thing keeping me here is that I can stay closer to home and support my parents. But at the same time, this city is slowly starting to irritate me mentally.
Has anyone else felt this way after moving to Gurgaon/Delhi NCR? Did it get better with time, or did you eventually leave?
