I grew up in a large metropolis, and lived there for 30+ years.
I can't stand it anymore. I found out I really enjoy living in the countryside, with access to some nature.
I associate nature not to loneliness, but to solitude, which I usually find desirable. And the bustle of people around me is deeply annoying. I can enjoy going to a cafe when it is mostly empty. If I start to listen to people talk, I feel an urge to leave.
I wonder if it has something to do with a personal trait, or to the specific metropolitan area I grew up in that made me dislike crowded places so much.
