Thanks for sharing! I'm from overseas as well, so I could relate to most of things you've mentioned. To be honest, I'm very impressed with what you have achieved so far. You should be proud of yourself! Additionally, I totally agree with you that it is hard to make a deep connection with others, especially you are not sharing the same values and cultures. But don't forget everything takes time. Please don't put too much pressure on yourself since you haven't been here for a long time.  Best wishes ... View more

Hi ExcellentBeing5,   I could see many mixed feelings from your words. It is hard to make friends or maintain a friendship, especially we are currently forced to keep physical distance due to the full lockdown (but we are still socially-connected, fingerscrossed). Not all of the people feel comfortable enough to communicate online, that is probably why you are not able to hear back from some of your friends. So don't feel bad about this. Likewise, your friend from your former class may concentrate too much on what he was talking so that he didn't even notice what happened surround him. In addition, I really like your ideas on both trying to make a friend with yourself as well as spending a bit more time to get to know your friends better. Be patient! Everything takes time. If you have any further questions,  please don't hesitate to follow up with us. Best wishes ... View more
