I regret moving to Los Angeles

I moved to Los Angeles 3 years ago for my husbands job and I absolutely hate it. I can deal with the traffic, parking, etc.

The wealth disparity and the way it shapes people is unbearable to me. There are a lot of transplants with big dreams and a lot of hustle that are great, but it’s hard to stay connected with people who have three jobs and are scraping by. The locals with the means and time to connect are pretty awful.

I am surrounded by people who were the only children of wealthy parents that spoiled them rotten and taught them they can do know wrong.

Bad grades? No worries daddy will pay for you to go to a private art college. No work history? Your dad will give you a job with an inflated title at his company. You don’t feel like doing a basic chore? Mom will hire someone else. Your Nanny said no to something you wanted to do? She’s fired.

It’s shocking to see people in their mid thirties that still don’t know how to hang a picture on their wall or shop for car insurance. Or people who hold director level titles and went to a supposedly prestigious schools that don’t even know the basics of their industry. The craziest part is seeing people like this completely lose it if you aren’t constantly coddling and protecting them from acknowledging their total incompetence.

Living near and working with people who have absolutely no self awareness that completely lack basic life’s skills is EXHAUSTING. I feel like I’m going insane.
