Would you consider moving from a big bustling city where you grew up in to a small slow city?
i used to live with my mom, she passed away 3yrs ago and things havnt been going great for me. I was in a relationship with this guy who knew i had nobody to stand with me so he dint treat me as well he would if he knew that there will be someone to stand with me if he ill treats me. this has broken me and i'm considering to move to the city my father lives in. He has his family there and i will live separately from him. it will be a huge cultural change too. I have tattoos and other habits that will raise eyebrows in that city. Also life is very relaxed there, a little irritating quite frankly.
I dont know should i stand my ground and deal with things as they come or escape to another city and have someone there to help me whenever i need too. If i hadnt fallen in love i was doing fine.

I did that and LOVE it .... I have the slower pace of a small town ; BUT close enough to the BIG CITY if I need to go there ...

I moved out of the city (London) to a far smaller town. From there I have now moved out into one of the small villages in the countryside. I don't regret it for a moment. The only thing I miss is the option to go out for takeaway at any time of day.
If I had made the move about 20 years sooner I would be in an even better position now. As it is, I don't have such a large network of support as I did, but it's coming along nicely.
In a small community, the raised eyebrow phenomenon soon passes. It doesn't take long before your appearance becomes accepted.Like (1)

As a girl i have been wondering where i'd shop....there is a big city about 4 hours away. Since you have done it already i'll take your word on the appearance issue.

We had a goth girl (about 17) moved in with her mother a few years ago. She stood out like a sore thumb. (Facial piercings etc..) but never incurred any problems AFAIK.

That is a personal preference, my friend. Biggest town I've ever lived in was about 25,000 people and that was overcrowded to me. I can see no house but my own where I live.

It took awhile for me to adjust to a smaller city, but I eventually got use to it :-))

If you can possibly find a way to stay where you are, I'd advise you to do that. Unless you are prepared to embrace the different lifestyle of this other place, I think you'll simply be unhappy there.
