No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character.

CREATIVITY
Moving somewhere new resets the scenery, not the person walking into it. Whatever you brought with you, the temper, the avoidance, the habit of leaving before things get hard, is packed and travels free. That is why the same pattern of trouble can appear across three cities and four jobs with different faces attached.
None of that means a person cannot change; it means the change happens at the level of habit and honesty rather than address. If you are planning an escape, ask what you would still be carrying afterwards. Doing one piece of that work first is what makes a fresh start actually fresh.
Which flaw have you expected a new job or city to fix?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
