I'm being forced to live in a city for the first time in my entire life for work. I've only been here for 5 days of a 2 month stay and I'm already going nuts. I spend all my free time in a community garden just to see green and smell something other than rotting garbage. How do you city fags live like this? it's absolutely miserable.
Sorry fren
Go for runs or something to get all that energy out
That, and a good combat gym
>Go for runs
Armed
What shithole city did you get stranded in
Mine has parks/green space/trails all over
Detroit, this is my first time south of Bay City and I feel like I walked into a dystopia.
I'm strapped
Can't you go to Lake Michigan or something?
Wrong side of the state fren, all there is here is the Detroit river. I walked there yesterday and it's a shitty polluted mess with homeless littering the concrete shoreline.
>detroit
you are fucked
Rip in peace homie. Go rig up some battery bombs and chuck em in a mailbox or something idk i blocked out all memories of hood lyfe
some of the most destitute parts of Detroit go so far beyond slums they are in the 'actively being reclaimed by nature' stage of urban collapse like what happened to fucking Cahokia, instead of the charming Detroit locals you have to watch out for coyote and bears instead which sounds like a dramatic improvement
so why didn't you lead with the fact that you're in fucking DETROIT of all cities
Detroit born and raised here. Moved to St Clair county and have property up N. I regret nothing. Detroit has nowhere for you to go.
I find I do best in cities when I maintain an adversarial mindset about it. It's a bad place that wants to break me down into submission: it's me versus the City and I'm not about to let the City win. Think of it like adapting and learning how to survive in any challenging PrepHole environment.
>Urban Animal
What a racist book!
>I find I do best in cities when I maintain an adversarial mindset about it.
That's a good way of putting it. Paradoxically, I do better in Baltimore than Austin. They're both cities, but Baltimore obviously sucks and I can be on my sigma grustleset. Austin subtly sucks, but it's ostensible "nice" so it's a more insidious grind down in the nicer cities.
tl;dr all cities will suck your soul, so never relax around cities.
Just stay home and watch some nature/animal documentaries.
>How do you city fags live like this?
They develop mental tools to avoid acknowledging their surroundings.
For country folk, when you are out for a walk, you listen to all the birds, the wind in the trees, your feet on the path - you look around you, the trees, grass, the sky, the clouds - you breath in and are aware of all that surrounds you. I know this sounds very hippy, but country people do this without noticing.
To survive in a city, you have shut all that off. You only focus on 2 food around you, and maybe 10 feet out front, making sure there's no threat. You ignore the noise, you ignore the store fronts, you ignore the cars, you ignore everyone and everything that isn't a potential threat. You move completely disconnected from your surroundings.
>it's absolutely miserable.
Yes, city dwellers are very miserable.
I wish you luck, OP. My advice is to find green spaces and abandoned places that you can get to easily and make a tour of them every day.
I sympathize but youre being dramatic as fuck. if it's only for 2 months just endure it you baby.
You have to make the most of the good things it has to offer like live music and live women.
I have lived downtown in a major metro for twenty years. I hate it but make a lot of money, so I stay. I plan my trips to escape temporarily. The constant planning keeps me sane while I am stuck here.
You cant.
Just deal with it, 2 months is not a lot of time
Not sure how much of a history / artfag you are but at least they have an Imax and the nature films are always top notch
For me, it’s the noise. The first segment Street Noise of the movie Tokyo Blood best describes my entire adulthood. It’s just the first 7m of this video.
