    I’m definitely bad at striking conversations up with random people, so living somewhere that was walkable wasn’t as magical for me as it seems to be for a lot of people here in the comments, but I will say it was definitely better. I got out more, saw people more, just generally felt like I was actually doing thing instead of just moving between my bed and office like now.

      same. i’m still an introverted awkward autistic weirdo and i’ve had just as much trouble making friends living in a city as anywhere else. but one of the things i like about living here is that even though i’m basically always alone, i’m also always around other people. it’s nice imo

        I also found that I would often see the same people again and again, so it got to the point where maybe we wouldn’t really talk, but we’d nod/wave at each other and just generally felt like I was part of a community.
