All cities are like this. I grew up in cities, and I've often felt the same way. While you may love the energy, the lights, the crowds, the convenience, cities can also be quite bleak.
I often felt this way in New York City. There is no "normal." For me, I always had a hard time with people. I didn't care who they were but at the same time I did. I was always surrounded by a thousand people, whom by the next day I'd never see again. Or, I'd be sitting down at one of a million restaurants in the city, and sometimes I'd think that somewhere in this city there's a much cooler spot I could be at, but I'm not because I chose this spot.

It's ironic, really. Here you are surrounded by many more people than the average person, but you feel even more detached from them.
