      It’s a common conversation though. I live in a big city and people who live in rural areas say this to me all the time. I just shrug my shoulders and say, “ya, good, live where makes you happy.”

        Yep live where you like.

        . I hate living in the city. I walk. ALOT. I love walking in my rural area, fishing, camping, engaging with neigbors and meeting the lady downtown street who makes gluten free cupcakes ( amazing).

        Its what i like

        I know people who rave about the things they can do that I can’t. And I love how happy they are living where they love

        People need nature, and they need each other. So live where your needs are met the. Most and stay happy.

        Your attitude is best. Let’s all be happy for those who can live where they love. Because Many can’t.

        Some of the rural people I know are extended family and if I take them at face value what they are essentially explaining sounds like some yet to be undefined personality disorder.

        They all circle around a set of claims that amount to an inability to adhere to basic social skills that even the most neurodivergent person manages to perform.

        I totally believe the part about people commenting “I could never live in X place” unprompted and I’m all for people living wherever makes them happy!

        It’s the rest of the post that reads like someone trying to think of a clever comeback in their shower hours after the conversation already ended.
