yes, yes, and YES! 
I dont live in the best place. There's lots of crime here. I cant go for walks or anything cause I feel like someone will try and hurt me or something.
It would be awesome if I lived in a better place with nicer people. But I can imagine nicer people coming up to me and talking to me and trying to be "friends" or something. Haha, that would be uncomfortable.
So yeah I know what you mean

I grew up in a neighbourhood where I didn't even know my neighbours names or what they looked like. It was VERY unpersonal. Now I live in a neighbourhood where everyone I see on the street says "Hello!" and there is a local pub which is just like Cheers because everyone knows your name when you go in. People knock on each other's doors to borrow things, have a drink or chat. And when I'm walking down the street people will holler out of the windows, "Hey! How's it going?"
When I'm feeling social it is awesome to live like this... but when I'm feeling like I want to be alone and go very ingognito I have to bike to another part of the city to chill alone.
If I were RAISED is an environment like this, I would probably be A LOT different.

I have to say that your location doesnt matter. I live in a very nice part of florida. Its big but still nice and fairly safe relative to the size of population. Some areas you dont know your neigbhor and some location people say hi but it hasnt affected my sa at all.
Thats because SA is in our minds. I dont know most of the people on my street yet my relatives have like a million friends. Its us not our envirnoment that determins our SA. I know this is probaly overly simplify but thats just what Ive noticed.

I guess kind of flat...would be how I'd describe where I live.....there are small hills here & there...but probably not what some of you would call hills...you might think they were more like a bump.....lots of open flat area's round here..atleast outside of town....not a huge crime area either & in general most people are friendly enough....& I stil suffer from SA.

I have lived in the same rural area for all my life up to now. It's a nice peaceful place and so far there has been no crime. The only downside is the inconvenience of living here, if you have no car then basically you are stranded because there's about two buses a day and they are not direct to the main city. I drive 26 miles to work and back which is a pain in the arse, but i guess we can't have it all.

The city i live in is pretty cold actually. And not just in weather. You could be dead on the side of the street and nobody would pay you any mind.
The worst part is that the majority are either super rich (and snotty) or immigrants and can hardly speak any english. So they don't bother talking to you ever. It's also one of the worst cities in North America for drug abuse and homelessness.
I've had a really hard time meeting people in this city, and i've lived in other cities before and have had way more opportunities to hang out with people and go do things (even though i was AvPD and didnt participate in anything).
Guess you just have to get out there and try harder instead of waiting for things to come to you. But with SA it feels like a damn near impossible thing to achieve at this point.

I live in a place. It's just a place. It's not really good or bad. It's just boring. I don't know very many people, and I hardly ever do anything. I don't think where I live has much to do with anything, because I think that where ever I would be I would probably feel exactly the same.
Living in NYC is weird. It's like, if I lived in a smaller town, there would be more pressure to get to know everyone in the community, but in NYC, the fact that there are more people makes you more isolated. Know what I mean?
