Do you find yourself disliking cities (see London) more as you get older? (lemmy.world)

I've grown up and lived in a medium sized town in the Midlands most of my life. During my late teens, 20s, and early 30s I've always enjoyed weekends away in Manchester, Birmingham, and London a few times a year, visiting friends and going to events.

Just got back from a weekend in London, the first one in a couple of years, and I just feel... drained. In all honesty I felt that way by the end of the first day.

I've never wanted to live in London, but in the past I've always enjoyed myself there for a long weekend. This time felt different, exhausting. Is it an age thing? Has anyone else found themselves enjoying city life less and less as they get older?

I've never liked living in London. I'd like it as a place to visit, because of all the museums and so many free things to do, but I don't like living here. It's too busy and impersonal. I love that we have good public transport so you can live your whole life without ever needing a car. But I'd rather live in a smaller place where there's more of a sense of community.
