Do you like where you live?

I personally don't.

I wouldn't feel comfortable in a small town, either. I prefer as much anonymity as I can get. Not because I have anything to rationally feel guilty about...there's just something about a closed-circuit environment that drives me crazy. I'm not into gossip and I don't know how to handle it most of the time, but I do wear my emotions on my sleeve a lot of the time. Plus I moved a lot when I was younger. My fiance and I rent right now, so there will be a change when we buy a house and settle down. I think that scares me a bit.

I'm starting to care less and less what others think of me, though. That has been helping. I've even started interacting with "regulars", like the guy that fixes my shoes, the bank teller that I feel comfortable with...unfortunately, my hair stylist moved across the state.

Slowly but surely, I'm building good relationships. It's really not about me. It's about what goal/objective I have in mind while interacting with someone.

I like Denver. It's nice and big... and I live just outside of it, actually, so I can take or leave it as I want for my middle class neighborhood.
I like places big enough that if I go missing the whole place doesn't notice...

The idea of a small town is comforting to me because it would kind of feel like a family...
I always wanted a big family. I think I'd soonly get tired of everyone knowing my business and feel smothered.

No.

I love where I live. I was born here, as well as my mom and dad. There is a lot of water as the county is a peninsula between two rivers.

But there is a Naval Base in town so we have a lot of strangers about. Every thing is spread out and I live in a more remote area. Sometimes I will avoid someone I know at the grocery. Even my son one time, who noticed and got mad. I played it off that I didn't see him.

Don't know why I'm this way, just feel so self conscious, even with people close to me. It's the rare person I can feel at ease with.

I don't like where i live. I live on the outskirts of a city. I don't like cities. I want to live in a village.

I love where I live

I live in a converted barn on a sort of farming community... I'm not a farmer.. but it's pretty secluded and theres only a few neighbours to hasstle me. About 4-5 miles from the nearest Town.

I used to live in London, and that kinda sucked - I need to be somewhere where the air isn't massively polluted. I also always like knowing that there is a place near where I live, that isn't indoors where I can go and be undisturbed by the public.

It's also a lot more fun to drive around my place, as a pose to any city

I can't be in a city longer than a couple of weeks, after that I start to lose my mind a little bit.

I never actually answered the question - Yes I like where I live, I've moved house many times but I feel happy here.

Although I need somewhere a LIL less secluded if I want to meet more people

The nice thing about your situation, Leo, is that you have more of a choice when to interact with people and when to be alone. The trick is to use that distance wisely.
