My parents sent me abroad (New Zealand) in January due to the situation in our country and honestly even after almost a year here I still feel homesick and lonely even though I’ve made some friends.

    What if they don’t attempt to establish contact and you are stuck on the sidelines forever? Been with my company for 10 years but never did anything with any coworkers outside of working hours. Never been invited to anything either.

      True it sucks and it happened to me as well. But I tend to change jobs every 2-3 years. Companies are wildly different about how much socializing is expected or desirable. Or if you’re placed in a team where you click with people.
      Unfortunately it’s a lottery and you don’t know until you’ve been there for ~ 6 months.
