Drop the New York ego
[Read the article: I left New York for San Diego and now I don't know where I am]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your best bet is to drop your New York ego, which every New Yorker falls victim to. You said it yourself -- you grew up in the center of the universe. I currently live in the Midwest, where I grew up, and I lived in San Diego for a short amount of time so I can relate.
But here in the Midwest, we call folks like you "People who just got off the bus from New York." Your aggressivness may be an issue, but what is really problematic is your perception that you're better than everybody else simply because you've had access to the "best of everything" throughout your life and you're used to working faster and harder than everybody else. Not true, but that's your perception, which is why folks from NYC have a hard time fitting in anywhere but NYC. If you would get off your high horse and appreciate the differences and reasons why others live the lifestyles they do, you might start to realize that the world does not revolve around NYC and every culture has its own unique benefits that might appeal to you.
