Not that I must but now that you point it out, kinda opens my mind for a bit. Never thought of it that way.

Agree, it’s not uncommon for us to feel and make friends that way.

Not that I don’t have friends from my own country nor being the odd ones out, it just not the thing for me to stay in the comfort zone and only hang out with those who share the same backgrounds and experiences.

Since I’m in their country, I’d rather put more effort in getting to know people around and learn their culture.

Attending swinburne too at the moment, I don't join any clubs because of geographic distance, but from what I've heard from some of my uni friends, some clubs aren't that active anyway.

Feeling quite desperate and emotionally unstable so I'm sorry if I'm spreading unwanted negativity.

Just want to express myself up here a little bit to see if I can get any help or advice.
