Moved to NYC for wifes job from a Rural Neighborhood am I the only one this Affects Negativley?
As the title suggests my wife got a good job in her field in Queens so we got a place in the city because her job is harder to move than mine. The thing is ive always lived in heavilly rural lots of trees birds chirping untouched nature, bird watchong, hunting, etc and quite honestly i never liked urban environments. I didnt come here because i wanted to Im not some expat here like others might assume to "strike it rich" id gladly take half of what im making now just to live in a slow area. I have always not been a fan of cities so i didnt come here expecting something else but i didnt realize how cruddy id feel everyday.
I am making this post to see if anyone else has had a similar experience of moving to a city not because they wanted to but for other reasons and if im alone in how badly its affecting me. I feel bad because i come home stressed and miserable after dealing with the city. The commute is the absolute worst part of it i hate going to and from work everythings too fast paced and the loudness and shouting and beeping and honking it all just leaves me in a bad mood by the time i get home. I dont like crowded areas so i dont go outside after work and i used to run in the woods everyday where i use to live but now i just dont want to deal with more people after work so i just sit at home. I just want to know if im the only one who feels like this. I feel bad because i want to stay here for the sake of my wife but honestly i just never enjoyed cities and now living in the city of all cities its quite the adjustment...
