When a person grows up in a small town and develops a fear or a belief that they couldn't handle any or all of the following: 1) Living in a large city
2) Attending a large institution for education
3) Attend large social events without
friends or
family
4) Not needing a car out of necessity for transportation
These fears also usually are accompanied by:
1) Reluctance to drive in large cities or on major highways
2) Fear of being unknown or not receiving the status, accomplishments, or recognition they are able to achieve in smaller populations
3) Reluctance to leave their home or hometown for large periods of
time
4) Fear of missing out on small town traditions
These people generally believe and can see themselves marrying one of their classmates/someone they went to school with, buying a
house, and raising a
family in their hometown.
