Do you have any advice on adjusting from country to city life? I will be moving soon to the city and I am a bit uneasy.

Don't get intimidated by the crowd. By earplugs, silly but the noise at night can be somewhat disturbing your nights rest. Buy a big post of the country, and hang it on your wall. Find the best places to do shopping, have a relaxed time and can go for fun. That requires a bit of exploring. which you also should do. When coming in the city, imagine yourself a tourist, wanting to know the best places, and history of the city. When you done with that, embrace the city, as just a very crowded pasture.
You'll manage. You've been in worse situations, and you managed those. HugsLike (3)

HUGS to you my friend. So true. Nothing could be worse than my childhood. While I am in the city I do plan on exploring and learning many new things. I want to enjoy everything the city has to offer before I come running back to my country home. I will take your advice. I worry about the noise levels too. I am used to pure silence here.

I went from the city to the country and back to the city after a few years my advice by some ear plugs, the noise level is a shocker.

It's like going swimming, you just have to jump in. I don't think there's much a person can do to make the adjustment any easier but once you're in for a while and get used to the water it's not so bad. I think the hardest part is dealing with rude people and nobody is going to bring you a freshly baked apple pie when you move into the neighborhood, unless they own a bakery close by and want you to be a customer.

I don't mind no one welcoming me with an apple pie. I don't like the thoughts of the rude people and the noise. I am used to pure silence and isolation. I think I will just as you say, jump in and learn to swim. Thankfully I will live in a safer neighborhood. I hope it is anyway.

Do not go out at night until you are sure of where you are and what the neighborhood is like. If you have to go out at night then take a friend or family member if at all possible. The one thing about the city life is if you look like you do not live there then you will be a target.
It's hard to explain but that is the way it is. Also depends on what city as well.
D.C. Has the highest murder rate in the nation.
