I'm a native Angeleno, born and raised, lived in NYC for 11 years but moved back to L.A. 4 years ago. It's interesting to hear you say all this. Some of what you said is dead 100% true like fake nice, urban planning, and I just about DIED when you talked about traffic because it's SO TRUE. I live 8 min from work but it would take me 30-40 min after work because of traffic. A lot of what you're describing in terms of diets, personal appearance etc the "typical L.A. stereotype", I believe to be "entertainment" related. Most Angelenos in East L.A. or the San Gabriel Valley aren't worried about such shallow things. As far as race, I mean, you live in West L.A. / Central L.A. I don't see how you could feel so out of place considering these two parts of L.A. are the much wealthier areas made up largely by white and asians, especially if you went to UCLA. But I dont live in your shoes. L.A. isn't for everyone one but I'm glad you gave it a shot. Having live in NYC for over a decade, I still miss it very much and there's lots to love about it but I'm glad to be back in L.A.

Elin Winblad maybe that is what someone can get from my message but it’s not what I totally meant. I like that feeling but I like being successful in what i do, being hardworking and important for those who I know I matter to, but today’s society is simply to overwhelming for us as individuals. It is so easy to be stuck in this circle, which leads to social anxiety, depression, feeling of never being good enough. And based on that, yes, I think that feeling anonymous is great sometimes.

[@endrikelatroci8796]

K Will i truly get your point because at the end of the day i think it’s all about experiences and personalities. I live in a small town in Italy, with backyards, neighbours i’ve been knowing since forever, I went to school with everyone who lives here i swear. It’s peaceful and people are nice and for a long time i was convinced that this was the reality of life. But then i started University and i moved to one of the biggest city of the country: that was a new discovery for me. I’ve been surrounded by people my whole life and that was the first time that i could be me without the fear of turning down someone’s expectations, and without having to explain my personal choices.

Ashley, you probably won’t see this, but in case you do: I’ve been binge watching a lot of your videos recently because you put me in a better mood. I was trying to pin down the exact reason why, thinking it was your outfits or the vintage jazzy music or your pretty edits. And although all those things make me excited about fashion and music and artsy stuff, what really gets me is your attitude. I really aspire to be as independent and optimistic and brave as you are. You put effort into so many areas of your life and it pays off. Seeing that makes me wanna put in effort too. But you’re also relatable and make me feel like it’s okay if I’m not productive all the time. You also make me feel like I don’t need a guy to be happy and there are so many things in life that can make me happy. I’m sure lots of people agree with me and I just wanted you to know that you really are a role model to me and make me feel really happy and inspired when I watch your videos.

Nice perspective! I went to New York last year and it was nice having activities to do everyday. Even if you don’t have something planned there’s already so much around you to just explore and go with the flow. I enjoyed that aspect of New York. I did feel a little drop of sadness that comes with the city..And it’s just that it’s so busy and you can tell others around you are hustling as well that you can almost feel like a character in a book that has “awaken”. It feels like others have been hustling along with their fast paced lives that they dont realize the “ system” that they’re in. It becomes almost monotone.

[@juliekael]

It’s interesting to see the perspective of someone from the East Coast. I think that on the West Coast, rather than seeing it as being “fake-nice”, we see it as being polite or friendly. It’s like how you said, we are pretty spread out here, so you are oftentimes unlikely to run into people again, and it’s more about having a casual interaction that is ultimately insignificant but positive. I can see how people who are not from the West Coast might see these interactions as shallow or fake, but it’s just kind of part of the culture of independence. I also think the “Mean Girls”-esque reference to the “fake-nice” people who talk behind your back is a projection of insecurity which I personally struggle with. Usually, people are self-centered and are not actually thinking about you or picking you apart. I think people here generally are pretty genuine and suffering from the same insecurities that we all are.

[@sandramoon7386]

jules12kelsey I agree 100%

[@tiffanynguyen1993]

I've lived in LA for many years being single and not single. I totally loved living in LA. Like she said different neighborhoods and different circle of friends make a difference. I've lived mostly in K-town close to Wilshire and also downtown. Always only a few blocks from my office. Also I could always escape and go to anyone of my sisters 30 mins (I have 4) or back to my parents in 1.5 hours. She had a difficult time because she's at a time in her life where people struggle to find out who they are and what they want in life. I think she would've felt the same way to a certain level living somewhere else. I didn't realize LA was so superficial until I moved away. I've lived overseas for 8 years now. I wear makeup once or twice a week when I feel like it. Not everyday because I don't feel the pressure to compete to be prettier than the girl next to me. Thank God for my sisters because it was impossible to make girlfriends in LA. And I'm talking real friends! Not ones who threaten to break up with their bf because he was hanging out with me alone because she didn't want to come to a planned outing at the last minute and warned her bf that I'm promiscuous. I was single. My sex life was not a matter for her to judge. I was a good friend. Her boyfriend was a good guy. (Sorry for the rant). So her jealousy came from within and she was reflecting her insecurities because we gave her no reason. I have to say most of my friendship with girls never went pass surface level and I think it had mostly to do that the culture/society made us competitors and enemies at the start. This then comes to insecurity comment. Please everyone has insecurities. I don't agree that she is insecure or her opinion about LA stems from her insecurities. LA is fake as fuck. What she said about meeting people and the second question they ask you is "what do you do?" This is not only LA but very American. Really if you read between the lines "what do you do?" Translates to "how can you boost my societal standing/ financial situation/what clubs can you get me in." The only point where I have a different opinion from Ashley is that white blonde girls are the ideal there. LA is so mixed! Being a pretty Asian girl in LA got me into a lot of places. And yes I can call myself pretty without being conceited or full or myself. I had a lot of personal problems as a young adult on how to identify myself being a Vietnamese American. Because in the US you can only be one or the other or to Caucasian Americans I'm always the other. My biggest pet peeve was always being asked "where are you from?" And if I told people I'm from LA they would follow with "but no really... Where are you from?" And they literally won't stop until I say what they want to hear. Okay. I'm stopping myself from writing more. The end.

[@theowinter2340]

Usually when it comes to people moving to LA, they tend to stay in the realm of people who are also outsiders but with the mentality of being the best out of everyone else, for example Hollywood, Silverlake, Beverly Hills etc. They don't bother to seek out genuine people born and raised here and immerse themselves in cultural areas where the true heart of LA lies. It's like they created their own world of vanity and destruction in our city that is now taking over via gentrification.

Keep in mind that you are getting a very specific perspective, i.e., that of a rich KZbinr. Most Americans don't move as freely as you think they do. Most are tied up with mortgages, children, family, careers, and every bit of sentimentality that anyone would have about where they grew up. Hell, most Americans don't even have passports or have ever really traveled. KZbin =/= real life.

[@beauty.psychedelieh]

Nataly Del Riego of course I know this is not every American’s typical lifestyle but I also think that overall Americans tend to move and live far from their home town easier than Europeans, or especially Italians, do.

If we take a closer look, "Hollywood" is what started it all. The term "LA people" really only applied to the transplants, not to those of us who grew up here. KZbin celebs are no different, so it seems..

Agree completely. I love LA so much. I moved there from Michigan. I didn’t move there for fame or fortune or to hobnob with celebrities. I made true genuine friendships/family there. Did I make friends with some super successful people in the industry? Yep, but that was just fate. Not social climbing. A lot of them were native Angelenos though. So maybe there is something to that. From energy of the city, it does feel like there are a lot of lonely people searching which can be a bit sad. It’s really easy to attract genuine people when you are genuine yourself.

You really hit the nail on the head with the independence thing in LA. People there (and really America as a whole compared to other places) are so entrepreneurial and independent, it’s an admirable trait and an exciting energy to be around. But I too have found that when it’s taken to that extreme, people forget that community and being there to support others is just as important. If everyone wants to be exceptional it’s very isolating, everyone is just out there hustling without any time to be there for others. I had that spirit growing up, but eventually decided I’d rather give up my own crazy dreams and support others if it meant I got to live life alongside a strong community of people I care about.

when she says “it makes me feel like I don’t matter that much.” and how she describes it as comforting, it threw me off. I was like ?? that’s strange ?? but I understand it. It’s kind of like the feeling I get where I want to move to a completely new place where nobody knows me and where in fact, I don’t matter that much.

[@kimonathompson4999]

Yeah that comment through me off but I took at as she wanted somewhere that humbling and ground her/ keeps her centered. I think its a lot it be in the spot light all the time (social media and LA culture) so I think she wanted a place she could just get lost in once the cameras are off.

me, from nyc: YEEEEEEEEEEE My favorite part about living here is honestly the feel that there’s so much opportunity out there to do so much more. It’s a bit of a spin off of how small NY can make you feel. It makes me feel small bc there’s so much more going on around me.

I just moved from New York City to Norfolk, Virginia, (which is still a city, but more spread out and there are houses) and this video made me miss seeing people on the street and being able to walk everywhere. Now I have to own a car and it makes me sad.

[@meira4460]

Hearing you speak about the things you did is so refreshing. Especially considering that you work in social media and it’s almost a “must” to put up a front even though you’re not who you portray to the audience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on LA/NYC/London ♥️
