We feel lonely in US. Do people in India have a fulfilling life - at least they don't feel lonely? I constantly feel things would've different if I lived in India and never moved here.
I am white. I thought the same and took pay cut and transferred to India office. I made a mistake
Can't be born in North India n call urself white
I stayed for 3 months there before COVID second wave. It was good, except one CA office due to office politics they made me run to their office almost everyday.
I lived in the US ( Bay Area) for more than a decade and then finally decided to moved back to India. My reasons were simple ie I couldn’t see my aging parents be alone and the thought of seeing them Once in a year for 5-10 days use to break my heart. I see so many immigrants struggle with this US <> India struggle .. it’s real and very hard. But one thing I know is that don’t move back coz you feel you personal state of being will be better just coz of location change. I have realized that happiness or content is a verb and you actively decide to pursue it. A location choice may make it easier to pursue coz you have the environmental support that may be lacking in the US buy just moving countries doesn’t guarantee overcoming any of the personal challenges. They can be overcome only if you take action and consciously work on solution. For example, if you feel lonely in the US, what have you done to address it? Being surrounded by shallow conversations or overwhelm relatives in India also could lead to being alone in the crowd
Same boat. Life is far more fulfilling in the motherland. Money’s not bad, adjusted for cost of living. You need to put up with the sweaty weather 6 months of the year though.
Weather is not great anywhere
Habibi come to San Diego 🌴☀️🌄 🏔️ 🌊
I went to india as a 33 yr old and there were so many dating app matches likes its insane. Hooked up with one. Believe or not in usa we are not seen as classy social ppl.
I lived there for two years when I was 23 and met most of the girls through social connections. I didn't use any dating apps but still found plenty of interest. They were always interested in trying out new things.
Indians move to the USA to make money which can be used in India to enhance happiness. Instead, they enter the rat race of enhancing TC , living a lonely life which is devoid of happiness. The only saving grace is fellow NRIs telling what kind of a shit hole India is.
After college, I lived in India for two years. The food was cheap and delicious, and the people were friendly. I received plenty of attention from ladies, including some who were married. Good times.
How is dating in SF ?
I suppose it depends on what you're looking for. Generally, I would rate my dating success in SF below average. In the tech industry, most women are either asexual, part of the LGBT+ community, or overly focused on their careers. However, you can always try broadening your horizons and exploring beyond your usual circles. I've had better luck dating people outside of tech. The only issue is that you may not connect or relate to them on the same level. But not bad for the short-term.
Wow here I am thinking going to the US will spice up my life
Why can’t you two keep each other company and explore together?
Same boat. US life is just overrated. Money is good but everything else is bad if you don’t have a close circle
I am not sure if money is good is a valid statement anymore. It may be more but not substantially
It is not. Also too much culture shock, even after 10 years of staying here.
