Loneliness - will it ever end?

Immigrant in US. Feeling great from career side of things. Healthy, both physically and mentally. From personal side of things, I have a few friends that I hang out with in the city on weekends. However, theres a big void that I feel with the festivals approaching. My mom doesnt want to come meet me because I have been awful with her in the past. She asks me to come and live with her but I dont have any vacation days left. My friends from school are distant and just share wishes on birthdays. I have been using Tinder and Bumble extensively but don’t find anyone I am interested in. I am 27. Wondering if this void will end soon or will it go on forever?

You will get comfortable with it, everyone does. Then it won't bother you much.

This has been going on for 4 years now. I don’t feel any better with years passing by

Sorry to hear. Pm me if you want to talk.

Be happy with yourself instead of needing others for yourself to be happy.

Be isolated for 1 yr and see if you can still say that

Excuses are for the weak

If u don’t put your TC here no one will answer your question. Hahaha. Seriously, I will say enjoying your time being single for now. Later you will miss it

Microsoft Thinker! OP Sep 29, 2019

Okay why do you say that?

Microsoft pig pig Sep 29, 2019

Dating is milder form of arranged marriage

Not giving up on my career.

I don’t think going back is giving up on career! There will be good career options just the pay will be hit

Loneliness ends when you decide to fix it. Until then you can mope in your apartment/house. Join an online community, go to meetups, whatever to get the social aspect you need. Tinder and bumble are designed to tease you and leave you wishing you were the hot person who everyone swipes right on. It's engineered to extract money for you to find your match.

I agree. Online dating is brutal. I have been looking at meetups in South Bay and they seem like sausage fest. Any better up there in SF? Or am I missing something here in South that I dunno about ?

Your fucking stock is shit lol

Try asking yourself what matters the most to you. You can have a good career back in your home country also. Decent TC + family + friends OR great TC. What would you pick?

You have to make friends and get out there. Def don’t know why people are telling you to leave the country, little extreme lol
