Fellow expats, this question was probably asked thousands of times but yeah. How do you cope with expat loneliness and how long did it take you to make some actual friends? I have been living in a different country for one month and I just can’t stop feeling lonely and alienated.
Get yourself a social hobby you can enjoy in groups, i.e. cooking, dancing, fencing, whatever to spend time with other people. Alternatively, keep yourself busy, maybe some self development, maybe it’s a good time to do the masters you were considering for a while or that online course. Maybe you want to go to a local shelter and help the homeless? Whatever you do I hope you will make some lasting connections soon!
