Currently living somewhere that makes me upset almost everyday. My family and friends tell me that I'm so negative about this place all the time. I know it's true, and I feel bad for complaining so much about this place. And to make things worse, I actually chose to move here so there's no one to blame but myself.
Also, there's a very slim chance that I can move out of here anytime soon. But even if I do move, what's to say I'll actually be happy in the place I wanna go back to - my hometown? Maybe if I stick it out here a few years, I could be alright.
And then that goes to my other problem. My career path is going to take a drastic development and change in the next year or so. At this point, I will have to make a choice. In fact, I have to start preparing for it soon if I wanna be ready for it. But that's the thing: I don't know what the right choice is.
Lastly, my partner of almost 3 years. I love him, but we have different life views. Plus, he's not planning on moving with me if I were to anytime soon, so I don't see a future with him. But, I did invest the past 3 years with him, and I have no other close friends. Thus, I see no reason to cut our relationship now; rather, I see myself or him breaking things off in the future in a couple of years or so. I am afraid to be without him, which is pathetic to me. While it's embarrassing to admit this fact, I don't have any close friends here, so it makes sense for me to be dependent and clingy to him, as wrong as this is. I just hate how even though we've been through so much together, and that although I can picture myself with him for a long, long time, I cannot see myself being married to him. Our views are so different that compromising without one of us making a sacrifice doesn't seem possible. And I don't want to waste my years away on someone while I could be looking for someone more suitable.
TLDR; I don't like the place I live in, my career path is going to be uprooted next year, and my long-term boyfriend is someone I deeply love yet cannot end up with.

Replythank you. honestly, I agree, and I'll try my best to put myself out there and make some friends and be a good friend in return.
To your question without oversharing, I am on a small yet highly populated island. I come from a larger country, so I feel trapped here. It's so much smaller and the culture and people here are unique. There are lots of societal problems here too. Thus, I am struggling to adjust and wonder whether I downgraded my lifestyle or not. But at least my family and boyfriend are here so I feel much better with them around than not.
Again, thank you and best wishes to you!
ReplyI have a friend from the state but he was forced to move with his parents because his father is in the Marines, at first he had no friend and he was so scared to go outside because everything was too different from where he's from. But he meet some friends and got along with his friends, he's getting back this summer and he told me that he's so sad he has to go back and leave his friends here so that means it all worked for him anyways.
I hope this applies to you too, you will find people to accompany you in your new place, and you will feel like at home.
Thank you for the kind words, i hope for the best for you. :)
Good luck...
