I am in this place i barely known for quite seven months already. I do not have those true friends because i could'nt trust anybody specially that i am stranger in this place, but i have to stay here because my job requires me to be here. There are this times that i really felt so alone and being left out by my loved ones. I could not go home anytime because my hometown is very far. What should i do to get over with this feeling and just live here normally? advices please...

It's good MyLot is here where you can find friends to share your feelings with, so that you won't feel much homesick and lonely. You have to talk to your co-employers and befriend the one you think you can trust. It's tough living someplace and not having a friend or a relative to talk to and to hangout with. I'm sure you can find real friends there.

Yes you are right Mylot is a very big help for me because i can share feelings here. Actually i do talk with someone, but i just cant find a person that i can confide with in terms of my heartaches or problems. What i mean is i am looking for someone that i can fully trust into.

If I was in your shoes, this is what I would do. I would visit different churches. I would just attend and smile at people. I'm sure that I would eventually find one where people are friendly and before long I would have some good friends.

just take it slow when trying to be social with people and just get a feel of who you like be around. after this period of time you should be able to have some people that may not necessarily be friends but at least some acquaintances. just try to get to know people and be more outgoing because its definitely not healthy not having enough people to socialize with.

I have two options for you one, you stay that way and two, you start talk to people like your neighbors or your colleague. I understand that doubts or not trusting to anyone is a precaution for our own safety but I guess there's nothing wrong if you started to being friendly. You can initiate a conversation to anyone at least then slowly you will eventually find someone you become a friend.

i rather choose the first one, because in the second i have these neighbors that i cant really understand, and they just love gossiping whenever i will pass by in front of them.

You should start knowing your neighbors or making new friends. Making friends is one of the best ways that will cure your loneliness. In my case, my friends and my family are the only ones who make me feel special. Make new friends and keep the old. hehe

It is quite normal to have such feelings when one is away from his or her own place. You can talk to your friends online and also contact your friends quite often. You can also take a stroll in the evenings so that your mind will be so fresh.

If you want to come out of this loneliness and boredom, you need to take an initiative. Come out, go for shopping. That is the best way to interact with people and know the local taste. Be adventurous but visit places which are relatively crowded and not lonesome.
