I live in Brazil so you can already imagine the hell it is, people drunk and drugged all the time walking on the street, fights at dawn, noisy vehicles, ignorant people who only care about their own nose and zero empathy for others. I can say that this shitty city helped me to reach that level. Can someone please drop a nuclear bomb here?
I live in the US and have moved around a bit. I always think that a new place, a new environment, will make everything better. It does for a week or so. Then I'm right back to where I was.....avoiding everything by staying in.
I gave up on that. Packing is exhausting. Although it can get very snowy and cold here and I hate snow.

All the city kids wish they lived in the country and all the country kids wish they lived in the city. Me, I wish I didn't live at all!

I wish I was born in a Scandinavian country or Canada. I like the cold and they're more lgbt friendly than my current country. I feel like it would give me more of a chance in life but I still could end up ctbing. Idk

I remember listening to this in my ninth grade Civics class we had a good laugh then. Thanks for sharing this funny video haha
My problem with where I live is the climate. Too hot and sunny for my liking. I have noticed in the brief cold weeks we do get I'm slightly happier.
I don't mean to undermine your experience, but I just wanted to share that the Czech Republic has always been my favorite place to visit. I've been there twice and I absolutely love it. Prague is my favorite city in the world, but I've spent most of my time there in Hradec Kralove. This is just my experience visiting and my experience of the friendliness of the Czech people. I know it can be much different living in a country. I'm sorry you've had such a negative experience.
I'm Canadian. I miss it there tbh, but I made my adult life here in the US and married an American. If my upcoming ctb attempt fails, I think my best bet would be to move back to Canada and try to start over.

I hate the town I currently live in and can't wait to move. My neighbours are hell, and everyone in the town is either related or have known each other from school, anyone who moves into the area is an outsider and treated as such, its horrid.

In the usa the average per capita income is $50,000. After a self employed person pays taxes on that amount they are left with only $38,000 to live on. If that person lives alone in an apartment which costs on average $1200 per month for a small one bedroom, they have $24,000 left. If there are kids to raise this is really scrapping the barrel to survive.
Between taxes and the high cost of keeping a roof over one's head the middle class is squeezed to the breaking point so the rich top 1% can live like royalty and pay almost zero taxes due to the tax breaks they get. I get no benefits from the taxes I pay whatsoever that I can see. I wish I could leave this country.

For the first year he was in office he pronounced China "Gina" as in vagina. He called Nepal "nipple" and had never heard of the place. Yet another reason I hate where I live.

My family of 6, gets by on UK £14,000 a year, this is after rent and council tax is paid, I'm self employed. I think society all over is just fucked!
Small liberal town where everyone knows everyone. Everyone here is either rude, bitter, or jaded. I can't wait to move back into a big city and disappear into one. Because in big cities, if you don't like someone, you can just go to another part of town and it's a whole new area.

The crime rate is fairly high in my city and the police can be corrupt. But, I love my city. I don't drive and there is great public transportation here, of course now I'm not going anywhere due to covid. My city is also on the water. Last February I was finally given a window office at work overlooking the water. Then we all started to work from home.

I'm from a rural area and the city is fun to visit (briefly) but I feel like it would wear on me too. Noise & people aren't my favorite. Where I am now is too small to be considered the suburbs but I still can't take how many people there are & being able to see my house from the street/having neighbors freaks me out. At least there's okay takeout and I don't have to drive an hour to get to the store aha.
A lot of the people I grew up around couldn't wait to move away to the cities but...hard pass.
Seconding that the small town viewpoint & resulting drama (because everyone knows everyone!) is a big drawback especially if you're not the cookie cutter type. I'm sorry it's been so bad for you. My hometown is very similar.

I used to live in the south east of England now in Yorkshire. Probably great leaving that area. So busy and clostrophobic. Being where I am now is better than Where I used to be and it's less busy at the best of times

Love/hate all around
I love the state I'm in, but I don't really like my city. It could be worse, but it's just... grungy and badly maintained. I don't live near any of my friends. But I'm stuck here pretty permanently, and it ultimately doesn't matter. My needs are met, and things are convenient. It's not like I leave my apartment much anymore, and I do like my apartment. My building really sucks (and most of my neighbors), but my actual apartment is nice.

I've never exactly hated living here, but I do hate my living conditions and being trapped here for so long. If I could go back in time I'd have made those changes when I had the opportunities. Granted I could probably try and turn it around now but I've waited too long and have no reason to try anymore, I've even been offered a new chance to start over I just don't think I can emotionally do it.
