emigration or moving

Dear folks,

Have any of you ever thought about emigrating? I mean, if you already don't have friends or much in life, wouldn't you just wanna pack your bags and leave or move to another town so you can start a new life? Cuz basically you have nothing to lose. Why not just trying to rebuild your life in a new environment, where ppl don't know you and don't have to judge you then.

As a person with social phobia I always fear everything. So if I move to another country, I would maybe feel scared, cuz what if shit happens? Who's gonna help a person like me then? Friends will help you, but what if you cannot make it to make friends in another country, cuz of being socially awkward?

So, have any of you ever wanted or is anybody of you currently thinking about moving to another country for good? If so, where would you wanna live? And what would you do to make it happen and be sure that you will be fine?

Yours Sincerely,

Sinopia

Actually, I tried to do this by emigrating to Britain, but it did not work out. Part of the reason, or actually most of the reason, was SA, but I found it easier to return since I had a good job here. I did not resign but took long-term leave, so I just came back and picked up where I left off.

part of the hurdle for me doing this was having no financial stability, people won't let you into their country if you they don't feel confident about your work history.
i'm more scared of not having any income in a foreign country than being without friends. there are loads of places in the world I would like to live and work in, but it's looking more and more doubtful I will ever be able to emigrate to them.

If you yourself haven't changed, changing your environment won't make much difference either. You might even get more frustrated if you run into the same problems somewhere else.

I moved to another country 3 years ago. Starting over somewhere else wasn't my motivation, I did it because it was the only place I could find a job. It was great at first, I liked the people in my new job and felt "normal" for a while. But I still didn't manage to make any real friends, so when things changed in the job I became just as lonely and miserable as before. I'm still here and not thinking about going back home though, there's nothing there for me either.

I moved from England to Australia at the age of 8, having no real friends at home. I was terrified, but I found that moving allowed me to rewrite my history and create a new life for myself. I let go of my insecurities and let the new me shine through, despite social anxiety. It helped a lot, needless to say. With emigration comes a massive chance to turn things around and let out the new you.
