I feel loyal to people and places that shaped me, but sometimes that loyalty makes me feel trapped. I am struggling with whether leaving means abandoning people or simply becoming my own person.

I think it's more becoming your own person. You shouldn't let other people hold you down and stop you from growing. Just because things change doesn't mean you can't still keep in touch.

If becoming a new person means leaving your whole life entirely behind, then yes it is abandoning to an extent. If it's just a feeling of trapped though then complete abandonment makes sense, leave it all behind and create something new
