I cannot stand being around too much cement and the thought of living in a high-rise, stacked up like boxed animals is repulsive. How can you live that way? And take elevators just to get outside? Seriously, I wouldn't pay a dollar to buy a place like that...how do you feel human and live that way? I'm serious...

How do country people stay sane without the people, museums, and things to do?

we don't lol. That is why I see a therapist. No seriously; I just tune out all the noise. I live in a small city within a larger city. I often get the noises from the airport, and all the cars going through gladstone to get back to Kansas City. We do not have elevators in my apartments just steps. There are a couple dozen people in my building alone which can get noisy but I do not live in a huge high rise. I guess I people just get used to their surroundings and it does not bother them.

I grew up in the country.
I live in Houston, now. I've been living here for 5 years.
At first, I HATED it. I thought this city was huge, and I went crazy trying to remember where everything was.
It took me about a year to get use to it. I still miss my old 5,000 population town, though.
I visit my old home once a year.
I do think it's pretty convient, if I want to go out to eat I don't have to drive 10 miles into town. :]
There are more open minded people, and not everyone shoves religion on your face. You aren't look down upon if you don't go to chuch. All in all, the city isn't that bad.

And why do you worry so much about others?
Is everything in your life so squared away that you have lots of free time to obsess over people in elevators?
Sorry to come across as sarcastic - just trying to make a point - and that would be to 'live and let live'.
Not everyone in the world is like me, or likes what I like (a good thing...) and I'm OK with that.
You might wanna work on being OK with that too.

I totally relate. I grew up in the country, and thought I couldn't wait to get out and see the big wide world.
I have tried the city and the burbs, and couldn't wait to get back to the country. I now live in a plain little house in the middle of almost 30 acres of woods and creeks and wildlife and I love it. It is so peaceful.
Forget paying a dollar to live there----you couldn't pay me enough $$ to do it again!

I hear ya Ms Clarabel. Born in the mountains, raised in the mountains, but moved to a crowded place for a high paying job. It's not a city with high rise buildings but it's crowded nonetheless. I'm still not used to it. Don't believe I ever will be either. I think people who are born in cities, would never want to live in the mountains, they're used to it.

It's all about how you were raised and what you've known your entire life. I was raised in a city and a few months ago moved to a much smaller, much less populated town and I can not stand it. I could honestly be asking you the same question about living in the country. I've just always been used to city life...

It takes all kinds!! Not everyone is like you or like me -- and that's GOOD!
I LOVE cities! So much to do and see, so much excitement. I also LOVE the country -- space and wildlife and quiet. If I were really rich, I'd have homes in BOTH, city and country. (I live in a suburban/rural town).
Be glad that we aren't all the same -- what a BORING world that would be!

well it is more about adapting to the place. because if you know how to deal with the place, everything would just go with the flow. just learn to adjust then you'll find out someday that you have lived that kind of life already
