Most of my friends want to settle down back to their home cities, whenever people ask me, I always tell them I don’t want to settle to my city.
Im 27 now and haven’t really found a justifiable answer, i think i have had good parents, good upbringing and i think I liked being there , i wanted to get out of home after 12th because I used to feel restricted there ( there really weren’t much restrictions but i pretty much wanted to live by my own and not under my parents).
But even when I go back home now , I don’t like staying there for more than 2-3 weeks. And i really don’t have any reasons, my parents never restrict me for anything, they are good people and i have fun whenever I am with them too.

Do you need some grand reason why you don’t want to come back? I think its perfectly fine to be confortable in your own situation, in fact it should be celebrated. You don’t have to feel obligated to any particular place or person just because you happened to come into relation with it.
I don’t like cucumber . But I love coffee . 🤷🏽 I haven’t settled anywhere and don’t like to spend significant time in my own country .
I love my life . I miss my old man I always enjoy seeing him . My wife and I have a fantastic time making memories with him. But we live our own lives as we feel drawn to live them
Edit : it’s also interesting you keep mentioning your parents … like no one else is saying it so maybe there is something in that a little bit .
What’s your point?
You’ve outgrown your home city. It’s familiar but no longer feels like a place where you can grow. There’s no big reason, you just associate it with a past version of yourself, and settling there feels like going backward instead of forward.
