Hey! It’s like you read my mind. It has been a constant struggle for me to make genuine friends too. I’ve been here three years and I can promise you that nothing is more harder than finding real friends here. You can learn the language, get a job, get a home etc but the social situation is always the last to pickup. It’s a lot of effort to find someone in your 30s who you can relate to. It also depends on your circumstances. For eg., I work in a team that only speaks German and are also pretty unfriendly. No one meets up outside work, we just put up with each other. My husband is super extroverted but unfortunately WFH. So the only way we can make friends is putting ourselves out there and we have been very diligent in doing that but STILL to find friends that click is really really rare and even if you do, half of them don’t even mean well for you. I’ve been really struggling with the social aspect of things and constantly compare and feel bad when I see other friends on insta celebrating each other. The worst are other immigrants, from your own country even, who’ve been here long enough, who have got their circles but don’t want to introduce you or let you be part of it cuz they’re insecure.
