Lived in NYC my entire life, now at 31, I’m starting to be an angry person because of it?

Had anyone else born and raised from NYC feel similar? I am happy with my life. I have a loving fiance I am about to marry, wonderful friends, I’m in good health, a great job that at times can be stressful but overall I’m grateful.. but over the past 3 years I’d say, living in nyc , people are really bothering me easily.

I snap very easily at strangers that are rude, and emotionally I feel disregulated when people irritate me. People can be very rude here as well know, as well as nice – I grew up here – but my tolerance is totally waning. Im not angry about my life, just how people are acting / becoming here. It’s cramped, people are entitled and ruder since the pandemic I feel like..

My fiance and I plan to move out to the suburbs (southern Westchester more so) since we still have to be close to the city for our careers. I visited the suburbs a month ago to see a friend that moved there, I just personally felt happier, people held the door open for me, complimented my shoes.. I loved it – Which is crazy to say , because I never thought I would say that.

Has anyone else felt this way, as they are getting older while living here / growing up in NYC?
