i have had a "great life" but no one is left in it. i travelled the world, lived and worked in japan for 2 years and finally got home a month ago. i work remote now, i earn a lot of money and i'm comfortable, but everyone i knew before i left has moved on with their lives, and everyone i met travelling are scattered around the world. making friends when abroad was easy, we all had a common interest and most people were alone, so they reached for a connection too. since i got back, i have noticed everyone is contained to tight knit social groups, and have no interest in talking to a stranger.how do i pull myself out of this? it's like my life has gone from 100-0, and the more i realise the hole i have fallen into the worse i feel and the less effort i want to make. i was thinking about travelling again but now i'm in such a rut, i'm scared i will stay in that rut and just be alone somewhere else, but without any of my family, even though i would never even have the courage to talk to them about this. what do i do?
>>34576002Get involved in something larger than yourself. Doesn't really matter what it is. I found my niche in Food Not Bombs and DSA but a church group or team sport is just as likely to scratch the itch.
>>34576209thank you for the advice, i actually didn't consider using my time to help other people
