Okay so my problems are going to sound really trivial to what's out there but I've always been really happy until now. I moved away from my family a month ago to come to the US and first off, I REALLY miss my family especially my Mom. I'm really social and I feel that over the years I've become socially dependent and all of a sudden I have no friends or family to talk to.
I go to a community college and now making friends is a real challenge, there's no social life! I miss my old friends like crazy and my old boyfriend. When I first arrived I was so happy to be here but now I've become really depressed because I lack social interaction. I'm so desperate to hang out with people I just spent the day with someone I don't really like and didn't connect well with. (maybe I'm too picky).
Anyway I don't like my new life, schools really hard for me and I'm struggling, I'm lonely and I'm not bloody connecting with people. I find Americans are so superficial (fake smile) "its nice to meet you, we'll hang out some time, maybe we should meet up for coffee, I love your accent" blah blah blah and they don't mean a word of it. I just want a true friend to cry with...
If you have any advice on what to do, I'm doing badly in college but I don't want to speak to my professors because it seems to trivial like "Aww poor thing you're homesick, welcome to the real world and stop whining". I don't trust my "new friends" enough to tell them I'm depressed. Any tips?
Thanks so much for any answers
