I found entirely the opposite to be true. In a very large city you are anonymous. Nobody gives a crap what you do, for the most part. I love it.
"oftentimes people know about you before you even know who they are". This is the reason I no longer live in a small town. I couldn't stand this imposition; the nosiness and gossiping.
I've walked thru Harlem at night in full vintage regalia and got nothing but "whoa, nice coat." And I've gotten the same thing in a small town. In the former case it was because I was anonymous and in the latter case it was because everybody knew me.
