I left Toronto 30 years ago and don't recognize it anymore. Plus all my friends from there have moved away to outer suburbs. So no, I don't miss it.

No. A small rural town in Finland. My parents are the only reason I keep visiting. 20+ years abroad.

Been abroad 8 years, last time I was in Mexico City was 7 years ago, will probably go again next year.

So... No, not in the slightest, my life is way better than it could've been, and I'm considering moving again but not home, rather explore a new country

Hell no. I have never experienced a single ounce of homesickness for where I grew up. I didn't hate it, it was really beautiful and peaceful, it's just nothing compared to literally anywhere else in the world. Plus, in the winter it regularly gets down to -45 C. Anywhere there are warnings about your eyeballs freezing when exposed to the air is... Not ideal

Absolutely 100% no. Not even a little.

After 16 years away, 2 weeks per year is the maximum I can tolerate.

6 days is my max. Mom wants to mother me & i haven’t lived there since i was 17.

I never thought i’d return to the US … but i met a woman. But not returning to my hometown.

No public transportation where mom lives & … have to ask to borrow mom’s car and i don’t like her condo.

I miss my family. I sure do not miss my hometown, or the weather.

I live in Japan. It’s been one year. I came for a one month vacation 1 year ago to my hometown in India. I am hating everything here. My culture, every person I know all my childhood before moving out. I somehow feel that they are all fools and cheap. I, however do not feel the same about other cultures in India. I just don’t want to stay anything that reminds me of my childhood or the people I know. Is it wrong? I am feeling too much of guilt for that

The country no, I only miss my family there

I miss my family and friends but my hometown was really turning into a shit hole. Brampton is not what it used to be.

I knew you're indian after reading the grammar in the title 😅

lamppb13@reddit

The only reason I ever go back to my hometown is just out of curiosity to see what has changed. My family moved out of my childhood home about a decade ago and my favorite restaurant sold out and became a coffee shop. I have no reason to go back, nor do I have anything connecting me anymore (aside from my previously mentioned curiosity). I've been back maybe twice in the last 10 years.

Yes! Phl to Can.

Imaginary-Kale4673@reddit

Not at all. Life moves on, and the future is ahead.

CarliniFotograf@reddit

No

Lox_Bagel@reddit

Yes every day

CraigInCambodia@reddit

Not in the least. I can have some feelings of nostalgia when I visit, but don't miss it and have zero intent to move back.

[-]

MasterpieceNew7000@reddit

I think this is a difficult problem to have because even when you do move back it's never the same as the city you left. Your friends have moved on, family members are older, you've missed milestones. The city is also different, buildings are under construction, your favorite restaurant closed or changed their menu, the neighborhood kids have moved out.

No, my home town is a sleepy dump that has been declining for more over a decade.

I miss the wider region I'm from in England, though.

[-]

thist555@reddit

It's like those childhood computer games you loved, you can never really go back and enjoy them like you did then because you and the world are very different now. I miss the people and places, but I am realistic and know it wouldn't be the same now.

[-]

Beneficial_Ad_7044@reddit

No. I do sometimes miss where I last lived though.

[-]

North_Artichoke_6721@reddit

It was a constant ache that never really left me. But then when I got back I missed my host country too.

Feelings are complicated. Whatever you’re feeling is valid, even if it feels contradictory.

Kiwiatx@reddit

I lived in Sydney and miss it, lol.

[-]

Kiwiatx@reddit

Yeah nah.

It’s complicated. 🤣

[-]

Big-Entertainer2074@reddit

Sometimes but it’s mostly memories of growing up. I miss the hiking and my family.

[-]

postbox134@reddit

I miss the people more than the place, but I'm lucky I go back a few times a year when I can.

Also it always feels weird being back, it's not the same place I left.
