    you're the closest thing I have to a friend r9k so here goes

    I'm stuck in a city where everyone I know is pretty much toxic. Even relatives though well-meaning hold me back in some way. People in my job, social circles I'm forced into.. they have a huge negative effect in my life. I do not see myself being happy here ever or going forward. But I am living comfortably, enough money, no worries about food and a roof over my head. aside from the whole environment chipping away at my soul. I cannot escape from these people as long as I am here but believe me, they are undermining my potential and well-being overtly.

    Now I have a chance to leave everything and go to any city that I like. I have enough money saved up to last me a month's worth. I'll be going in friendless and no prospective job. And if I don't get a source of income in that timespan I am potentially facing homelessness.

    Should I do it? Any one ever done this? How did you succeed from starting from scratch?

    It's really a choice between your physical health and your mental/emotional health.

    Some people can handle mental/emotional stress better than others. If you're one of those that can't, I would seriously consider getting away from those negative factors so that not only your body is at peace, but your mind and soul as well.

    I can't tell you much of what will happen when you actually do move, as I don't know you. What city are you planning to move to, based anon?

    Depends on where you're at. Are you willing to move far? If so, I do have some cities that I've been to that seemed to have a nice enough atmosphere. Also, do you prefer big cities, or smaller cities?

    What the fuck, so you found some random month-to-month lease, yet it was impossible for you to check craigslist or monster for a job?

    C'mon son this is stupid. You're not giving yourself enough time or thinking it through. Find a job and a source of income, THEN worry about the rest.

    I say this after being in your situation once.

    If you want a place where you don't need a car, you're going to want somewhere with a nice public transit system. I'd try looking into bigger cities. I've been to Chicago a couple of times and the people are friendly, only bad problem we had was a cab driver that tried to give us the wrong change. The crime rate might be a bit bad as well depending on where you settle down. New York was nice as well, except the people there are always on the move and don't always have time for slowing down and sitting down for a chat with a friend or co-worker. I've never been to California, but I have friends there who say it is a great state to live in if you don't mind the high standard of living. The Northwest isn't too bad either.

    I'd stay away from the Midwest and the South. Horrible public transit and the people here are all over the board. Some are really nice and treat you as family and others will try to steal the wheels off your car while you go to the restroom to do your business. There's also a lot of racism here, moreso than anywhere else.

    Hope you can find somewhere nice, brobot.

    I'm those straggling "unemployed" graduates

    the job I have now I got because of a friend of relatives which is maybe why I never mesh with my co-workers (who pretty much resent me) and why it doesn't even feel like a job but everyone feels invested and free to criticize whatever the fuck you do. they won't let me leave.

    You have work experience. You graduated (I'm assuming you mean undergraduate). You are already above half of the people on this forum, dude. And everyone's coworkers fucking hate each other, so that's really not a big deal.

    What do you mean "they won't let you leave?" Why do you GIVE a shit what they think? You're an adult. You can do whatever the fuck you want.

    Step 1, find job in specific area with low cost of rent and general supplies. Step 2, find lease in a nearby location that is not total garbage. Step 3, finalize all the other minor shit. You are probably going to have to do this more than once. Start getting used to it.

    I have the added bonus of being a threat and making everyone insecure (this nepotismal fuck gonna show me up/take a position I want?) so I get to be the lightning rod of all the backbiting and shitchucking in the workplace, something I definitely did not sign up for.

    >What do you mean "they won't let you leave?" Why do you GIVE a shit what they think? You're an adult. You can do whatever the fuck you want.
    some of these people known me since I was a kid, they have a huge sway on what I think. what I meant was they will guilt me and pretty much tell me no one else would hire me.

    Fine then. Live in agony and hate yourself forever because of what some random dickbags think. Sit at your terrible job and do nothing for the rest of your life and hate yourself and commit suicide in 5 years.

    Seriously you need a combination of severing from every useless person you know in addition to therapy. Using "well they have a huge sway on me" is not an excuse. If you're THAT fucking dependent on people, you will never make it alone in <insert random city here>. Regardless of whatever stupid shit you think, you DO have independence.

    you seem to misunderstand

    I was trying to make a point how miserable I am here and yes, I feel that this all might actually lead to suicide years down. not defending them at all

    OP, I think this is a deeper problem than you think. One that won't be solved by running away.
    There is something obviously you are not happy with, I think you should take some time to think
    about it before uprooting a life that you can thrive in. Why don't you like the people around you?
    Is it impossible to really find people you can relate to where you are?

    my exact thoughts but in reverse, I know that this isn't a place I will ever grow and move forward.

    I can't explain in-depth the relationships but take my word it is a clusterfuck and I haven't met a true friend or partner here or see myself with one with the type of people accessible to me because of my social circles

    I've done it four times. It was a blast. Go!

    protip: when you get a wife and kids, you no longer can do this unless you have no other choice, which is not good

    I recommend either Seattle or Bellevue, Washington state.

    It's kind of expensive, but you can walk everywhere and take a bus if needed. Everyone's friendly too, had a culture shock when the guy working the window at a drive-thru was so god damn nice and upbeat.

    Jobs are everywhere too, ton of Starbucks at pretty much every corner. If you're tech savy you can find a job at Microsoft or Valve.

    I don't think there's a lot of homeless in either city too, if that says anything.
