I do think that an environment/culture will definitely affect you over time. If it is an unhealthy/toxic/negative environment vs healthy/positive environment, it can change behavior/mental and physical health for good or bad.

@robertwills and @dlydailyhope I agree! I am a big city person who has moved to a small city due to circumstances not under my control and two and a half years later I still don’t feel “at home”! Lovely house, lovely neighbour next door, but it just doesn’t have that big city feel I was never aware I loved so much! For one thing, .I don’t drive and public transportation is not as good here. Yes, I can take Uber or taxis, but it’s not the same as hopping on and off a bus, subway train, etc. I can so relate to “environment pushing you in the wrong ways”, the “environment” being social as well as environmental (weather conditions).
