[Single&Happy] Living Alone Abroad

Hallo Readers!

Continued topic of Single&Happy..

I met many friends - colleagues and old friends, who got a problem - "loneliness".
Most of them are male, with good education background and strong dedication to job and working abroad.

Do they satisfy enough with their salary? Most of them said - Yes!

Do they have got working experience and exposure for multicultural office environment? Of course! Few from them are allocated from one country to other ones. Hence, travel to many interesting places on each country they ever stayed.

What triggered factors make them lonely?
First thing came to my thought - perhaps, they are shy guys.
Observing personalities of them, honestly saying, they have potentials to attract women/man to be friends. Warm characters enable them to make relationship with colleagues and neighbors - in order to survive.

Further mind, since they are living abroad - sometimes, different cultures make barriers to do further relationship - either with man or woman.

Take examples of a friend of mine lives in a country with stick culture to religion and faith - make him difficult to establish friendship with locals (his faith is different from natives).
Another friend, lived in very liberal & individualistic culture where everybody only thinks about him/her self. Hard to find someone to rely on.

What decision they make?
They want to go back to home land - stay close to families and relatives. Some of them did it, some of them are still on planning.

What comes to my mind afterwards..
- No man is an island - everybody needs another and relationship (either marriage, lover or just friendship)
- People prefer to stay close with family and relatives
- Culture sometimes create barriers to establish close relationship
- Man is less adaptable to loneliness - rather than women .. just a personal opinion :)
