I concur.

I lived abroad for a few years and when i would return home nobody gave a fuck. Nobody wanted to hear my travel stories and it seemed everyone just moved on. I returned abroad and settled in one place. I stopped leaving that city every weekend for trips. Instead I just hung out at the same bar every weekend and eventually met people. I even got a job and started hanging out with coworkers. I also got off social media and quit checking out what my friends and family were doing back home. I realized that I felt depressed when I checked.

It’s completely normal to feel this way. You will also have those things it just takes time. I believe one finds a place they feel comfortable and you settle there. One you plant roots everything falls into place. I wish you well.

I’ve spent some time D- Land. It was hard making friends, however my German improved and I was able to converse. It took time but I managed to meet wonderful people. So many years later I still have contacts there and I see them as a second family. I’ll suggest you give it a try for your career. Like others mentioned, you can always return to the States.
