You left. Why are you still living there?

You say it's impossible to make friends here. But the only people you meet are people you can spend the whole evening discussing how impossible it is to make friends here with. You say the locals are cold. Meanwhile, you compare everything they suggest with how things were back home. Their holidays are strange, the food is wrong, the service is slow, and the people are just somehow wrong too. Maybe you simply aren't a good fit for each other. Not everyone has to like every country. But it's strange to demand a sense of belonging from a place you tell every day that it's a temporary mistake in your biography.
