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? I think this is awful advice. Social media is not real friends… It’s just Randoms.

    To the OP : find hobbies you like and go to them. It’s the best way to meet people you will like.

      This is the right answer. Pick something you like, find a real-life group that does it and go do that with them.

      Worst case scenario, you have to be nice to people you don’t like for a couple of hours doing something you like or believe in. Best case scenario you have a great time and meet like-minded people. It’s usually somewhere on the best-side of that spectrum.
