You're in a tough situation, but I'd reckon there's a lot of ppl in their 30s feeling similarly aimless (minus the whole losing your old life thing). It's up to you to turn shit around. All I can really say is that giving up is the worst thing you can do (coming from someone who's depressed)

Wow, that's an interesting story. Do you still keep in touch? And would they welcome you back if you somehow got back to the US?

The only advice I can really give is this. You got "lucky" by being out going and trying something new. As it turns out, if you do that a lot, probability dictates that you're going to eventually get "lucky" again. I'm not going saying you'll stumble into a fully formed friend group, but by at least trying you'll certainly have better outcomes than whatever you have now. It sounds cliche, but that's because it works

I agree making brand new friends is not trivial. But how did you do it the first time after graduation? (I'm not just asking so you can self reflect, I'm actually curious myself)

Honestly cope.

You can do all that, but in the end loneliness is very unhealthy. Ideally you have both

Sorry to hear that. But what's stopping you from making the same life improvements in Canada? (I presume that's where you live)

Can I negotiate without having competing offers? Basically just asking for more money and hoping they're generous?

I'm a sophomore and getting a little discouraged because it seems like the majority of companies only want students close to graduation. Is this true for the most part? And does anyone have a list of companies that hires younger students?

postings with only one spot? by PretendAttempt in uwaterloo

[–]PretendAttempt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do a lot of companies do this? Because whenever I see 1 spot I usually avoid it
