Moving cities can be one of the most exciting yet challenging experiences in life. From adjusting to a new culture to missing the familiarity of your old life, the transition isn’t always smooth, and when the city you move to doesn’t meet your expectations, the culture shock can feel overwhelming.
A Bengaluru techie recently shared his frustrations online after moving to Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Taking to X, user @gujjutweeter expressed regret over his decision, calling it a “big mistake”. His move was hasty, as he wrapped up his life in Bengaluru in just 15 days.
He compared his life in Bengaluru to Ahmedabad, claiming his life was “more alive” back then.
Have a look at his post here:
He misses the co-working culture, and meetups and claimed that the crowd in general is “low quality”.
He further revealed how in Bengaluru, he was living amidst intelligent people and living a simple life, whereas in Ahmedabad, it’s more about “show off”.
Turns out, he isn’t the only one with complaints. Several others who made similar decisions as him, expressed their disappointment at not being able to fit in. Have a look:
Moving cities isn’t just about packing your bags. It’s about adapting to a new environment, which can be more challenging than expected.
