Why do I hate the beautiful city where I was born and raised?

[PacShakur]

I grew up in a very beautiful city. A population of 2 million. The sea, sandy beaches, palm trees, freedom, amazing food. It had everything.

But there are so many things about this city that push me away. Arrogant people, unbearably hot and humid weather, at least seven months of dampness and humidity, limited job opportunities, and a low level of development. It's a complete contradiction to how big and beautiful the city looks on the surface.

I don't know why someone can end up hating the place they were born and raised this much. But I sometimes wonder if it's just fate that, no matter what, I keep finding myself stuck here.

I'm sure it's not exactly the same way as when you were born. Some things must have changed.

You listed the things that you don't like about it, so obviously those are the things that make you hate it. Those are good reasons not to like it.

You can appreciate the beauty of it, but you also need job security.

Does it really even matter that you were born and raised there? In general, people don't live there entire life where they were born and raised. Some do, but not the majority of people, I don't think. Maybe, but not in America. 🇺🇸

I wouldn't want to live where I was born or raised because it has changed so much, and not for the better either.

I don't like where I am living now, but I don't have any other options, I have to live here.

It's very hard to live where it's hot 🥵 and humid most of the year and I have to deal with the same thing. I hate the hot humid weather!

Have you ever heard the expression “Wherever you go, there you are”? Basically same bullshit, different place. Are you really going to be that much happier anywhere else?

Don't know but lots of things are really changing

[OldGreyMare]

Sounds like you answered your own question

[PacShakur]

Question was "do you hate where you were born". AI shit changed it

[OldGreyMare]

Wow, AI really screwed that up.😁

I don't hate where I was born.
