It gets very lonely. How to cope?
It’s been 4 months since I migrated to a new country and all think about is home. Alone, no friends, no sense of community.

@Popobandar1993 I agree. I thought I would be okay working from home as an introvert, but now as a foreigner who has no family, nobody with me, I feel very isolated. I never thought about the importance of work buddies, which I had in my previous jobs. They helped me in so many ways I did not realise before when work became so stressful. Those lunch breaks shared and some silly nonsense talks, they made work in a way enjoyable, none of these I have right now. My challenge is how to survive for long time in this kind of setup. But I have bills to pay and do not have any other choice at the moment.

Do you speak the language ?
If not, there's a barrier you could overcome with a little study.
I wonder if an online search might help identify sites; popular places for expats nearby ?
That at least might give you some forums to communicate with.

I go to the tavern. I haven't migrated to a different country, but I move about the US a lot, and going to different states can be like going to a new country.
Don't know anyone, don't know the area. No friends. So, the pub it is.
