All this culture and reverse culture shocking taught me to get sensitive about all the adaptions we have to make often and don't think about. E.g. when moving from New York to LA people talk about being "homesick" but people don't talk about culture shock. But it's the same, just more small scale since people still speak your language and have a somewhat similar culture compared to different countries on different ends of the world.
Right now I'm in the process of moving to another city and can appreciate a lot all the things I learned about culture shock and can handle it quite well, e.g., the overpowered feeling of loneliness that sometimes hits you really hard, or that you must be careful about sharing experiences since others don't consider the same things weird as you.
