I agree. I live on the very rural Oregon Coast, and everyone here is overly friendly. It's actually kind of exhausting at this point lol. Way different from when I lived in the city. I need to find a good middle ground.

A good middleground between urban and rural is probably suburban. Or just wear visible headphones when you're not in the mood, perhaps?

Suburban is a horrid mutant thing with none of the best of either rural or city.

We would have been much better off if our cities were built to hold people like in Europe

This is such a weird take to me, because I've always seen suburban as the natural default. A lot of things are in 10-30 minute walking distance, and the houses aren't stacked on top of each other.
