Most Americans live within an hour of where they grew up, so I'm not surprised. I think it's bonkers, I mean there's so much more out there, but from my own friend group yeah I'm the only one who moved away

I get it. My parents/hometown is a days travel away so I only visit ~two times a year. It's hard to stay in touch with all your old friends when you rarely see them. If you're just an hour away it's much easier to keep touch with your old circle.
