I found being one of many like a comfortable cocoon. You could just "be". Then, I moved away to a quiet mountain lake community. For some reason, everyone was in everyone's business and always "stopping by"(friendly but so much for quiet!)
Then, I moved back to a suburb of my hometown and had to readjust to the feeling of "too much" everything. Seven years now and back to feeling comfortable in the cocoon but missing the landscape
