I have an oposite situation where my work has me working actively and I meet new customers everyday so I’m usually burnt by getting home.
Smaller communities are really good for meeting more people. Good luck on finding more friendships. I find it hard to meet people in real life during this digital age. I wish it were as easy and common have friendly conversations with a stranger as it is online here.
So far it has been awesome! It’s kind of like a step back in time. We’ve had 3 different neighbors come over and bring us a small housewarming gift while introducing themselves, and swapping contact information. None of them seem crazy or anything, just genuinely friendly people. All of the workers at local businesses seem happier and friendlier too. We were worried about moving away from the city, afraid we might end up in some backwards-ass trumpville, but everything has been great so far. It’s probably the best decision we’ve made in years. The only noticable “drawback” so far is that business buildings are generally older and a little shoddier, not as nice and modern as they were in the city. We’re okay with that given all the positive trade-offs. I never thought I’d move back to a smaller community, but here we are!
