97: Loneliness Abroad Is Real—Here’s How to Cope and Build Community
Description
I've definitely had my moments of feeling lonely in London. Loneliness abroad can feel discouraging, but it’s not proof you made a mistake by moving. It’s a natural part of adjusting to a new country, and with time, effort, and connection, it becomes easier to manage. You just have to put in effort to get out and meet new people!
I’ve lived abroad for four years now, and I’ve experienced both sides of the social spectrum. There were seasons where loneliness hit hard. And there were other times where my calendar was so full that I couldn’t take on new friendships.
If you’re moving abroad—or already living abroad—loneliness is part of the journey. It doesn’t mean you made the wrong decision. It just means you’re human, and you’re navigating a big transition.
In this episode, we’ll look at why loneliness abroad feels so intense, the main causes behind it, and the practical strategies you can use to cope and build community.
