Sometimes people with a depressive tendency prefer sunny, warm climates. Often those who have dry skin or brittle personalities, prefer humid, rainforest type of surroundings. Some like the crisp, clean whiteness of wintery climes, some the sea, others the mountains. I often say I'm a big mountain, not a ball and beach, burbs and boroughs girl. But big mountains require fitness, hard work, strength.
Most people prefer to vegetate on the beach.
Proxemics is also a big issue. Others dislike driving for hours on a desolate highway. This may relate to how they were brought up but it could also be their physiology. If there are quiet, low key individuals they might be fine in crowded, noisy places filled with human odors. But if they are already hyper and overstimulated, this kind of stimulation could bring them to a boiling point.
