I concure with you!! However, I guess it depends also on who you are and how deep you know yourself and can stand for yourself. Even if you can be yourself in your current environment, sometimes we grow as a personaity and some friends or most of them stay left behind, while in a new place that you have been there already and experienced - there much more like-minded people and it could be easier to build a new circle of friends who gonna be on the same page with you. I guess it`s alright to stand alone at some point in your life but if you find people like you, at the same age and not who are 10 or 20 years older - I think it feels much better.

I believe it is better to be the lion’s tail rather than the fox’s head...:-)

No matter where you go, there you are. I have sister-in-law who has had about a dozen houses in many locations and always seemed to blame her life's problems on her house or location. I've known her for almost 40 years and her problem is not her house or location.

Best way to guess whether a person will be happy in a new environment is to ask how happy they are in their current environment.
Though it varies...
some environments are really hard on particular people for particular reasons... everyone's different and some things just mesh really badly with some people.

I once lived somewhere where I had to walk a lot to get anywhere and be anywhere but my home. But I could barely walk. That was pretty bad. It was pretty good when I could walk well!

I once lived in a town that I didn't like... I loved living there. Was happy.
