I moved out from Bay Area, where I had tons of friends. I would go out every other night to hang out with my friends. Talk about startups and upcoming tech stuff and lots of beer off course. But then I found myself in a loop, same old routine. I decided to move some other state, where I am complete stranger. Its been 5 years since I left. Do I get lonely? Off course I do. I would be lying if I won't. But, I don't get depressed. I don't let my brain get in "trap" of convincing myself that I need 100 friends and I need to socialize more. I picked up lot of other activities. Started learning french. Playing guitar and tons of other stuff I thought I would never get time to do.
- LeanderK 10y agowell, as always, this is generalisation and individual experiences may vary ;) (is this grammatically correct?). This is not a critique of your argument, but most of the time if discuss these kind of articles (or general psychological things) there are always counterexamples. This is the real world, not math.
- lucb1e 10y agoSince you asked for feedback: > this is generalisation Should be: "this is a generalization". It's understandable though. > This is not a critique of your argument Again understandable, but should be something like "I am not criticizing your argument". The rest is correct I think. Hope I got everything right, I'm not a native speaker either :)
- M2Ys4U 10y agoAs a native en_GB speaker, "This is not a critique of your argument" sounds perfectly idiomatic to me
- dfischer 10y agoWhere did you move and why that place?
- 120bits 10y agoI moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. I applied to jobs in other states as well. But I just ended up with good option and better salary here. Housing is comparatively really cheap compared to California. Lot of outdoors activity, I think just got used to it now.
