First, big cities are not necessarily lonely.
Big cities have many advantages over their hometown.
The most obvious thing is that life is richer. We have more things to do in big cities. On the one hand, we have more abundant work to do. Such as programming engineers, or graphic designers. These occupations are only needed in big cities, so there are corresponding occupations to attract the best talents. For those who like these jobs, it is a satisfaction for them to engage in these jobs.
On the other hand, big cities have more things to do outside of work to satisfy your various hobbies. For example, if you like fitness, you can find a professional gym and a professional fitness instructor in a big city. Their main purpose is not to attract members, but to devote themselves to the customer's fitness experience.
If you like music, you can find the most professional music training institutions, such as experienced piano teachers, guitar teachers, or drum teachers. In your hometown, you may only find part-time music and amateurs.
Therefore, in big cities, we have more things to do, so as long as we have what we want to do, then we won't feel deeply lonely in city life.
Second, hometown is not necessarily lonely.
Living in my hometown is not necessarily lonely.
First of all, in my hometown, I knew when I was a child that most of my high school classmates and friends went to work in cities all over the country when they were adults. In other words, even if I stay in my hometown, I don't have many acquaintances and friends, because everyone has left home to develop. So in my hometown, it doesn't mean that I won't be lonely. I don't have an old friend who can accompany me when I am frustrated.
Moreover, in my hometown, I have almost nothing to do. I like to keep fit. There is only one gym in my hometown, and I just want to attract members every day. I like guitar, and there are not many people playing music in my hometown. I like photography, and holding a camera in the street of my hometown will only lead to cynicism.
Most importantly, I have a certain generation gap with many people in my hometown. Their way of thinking is very different from my own. A very important and prominent problem is that people in my hometown always consider other people's opinions for fear that others will have a bad impression on themselves. For me, I think I can do whatever I want in my life, because I have a certain ability to distinguish between suitable and unsuitable, and I will not do illegal and immoral things. So what I want to do specifically should naturally be my decision.
But in my hometown, the power of gossip is great. The pressure from my elders and relatives will make my life very uncomfortable. Instead, I can't find a bosom friend, and I am more lonely.
