> Don't know if I wish I could empathize with that, but you mention "Gotham" and if that means you're in NYC then I am jealous as all get out! There's a vibe that's generated by all those people that makes me feel more alive. I can see how it would shake someone with social anxiety to the core, but leaving NYC for me was like leaving something essential of life behind.
Funny you say that. As a New Yorker, I always feel comforted by the fact that people are everywhere, and that my home is a high rise apartment and others are always around. The noise in the city isn't great for anxiety, that's true. On the flip side, my parent's have a house on the east end of Long Island, so I'm fortunate enough to have a place to escape to. But yeah, New York City generally gets a bad rap.
