    Of course. Humans are not born to live in square apartments next to noisy and ugly things.

    The forest is absolutely beautiful and spiritually healing.

    Humans can’t even make anything as beautiful as a tree. We just make square things and blocks. We like when things are in a straight line with equal height and width. We like symmetry in everything.

    But real beauty is the forest.

    Absolutely. If I didn’t need to work I’d buy a plot in the woods and build myself a cabin and live there away from other people.

    For me, I like forests because they don’t have thousands of cars driving through them which makes them nice and quiet.

    Yes but I think I have an idea as to why. I’m a mechanic by trade so my day is making sure everything is within spec or functioning properly. In the woods everything is chaos but it’s supposed to be; it’s novel. The solitude is a bonus.

    Yes. Wouldn’t say “weirdly” though.
    I dislike crowds.
    I often get tired of the idea of that I am a being that can be observed.
    I like looking at nature and daydreaming.
    Forests feel unrestricting without feeling too open.

    I would probably feel somewhat uncomfortable living too far away from any kind of forest.

    That’s not weird, it’s human nature. Look up forest bathing.

    I grew up near lakes and forests, so there’s nothing weird about it.
