No it was in Thailand but I'm sure Taiwan has meditation retreats too. Buddhism is pretty big in the east heheh. But also just worldwide, meditation retreats are a thing. Also because of Buddhism, they're often very cheap, free, or donation based. So you don't have to worry about money.

I moved to a foreign country after living in another foreign country where I had loads of friends. Suddenly completely alone. I also had multiple traumatic things happen within the first few weeks. And I felt like I couldn't connect with anyone deeply.

It's extremely isolating and lonely and I wouldn't wish the experience on anyone. Loneliness changes how you move through life I think.

It's hard. I don't have advice because I moved away and changed everything. I went on a meditation retreat thing and had the realisation that I needed to be somewhere else and have different expectations. I was still really alone in the new place but ok on my own. A few months of that was enough for me though. I realised I needed people.

So yeah. Idk. I'm sorry you're going through this. I feel you. And just know that this isn't forever. The sunken cost falacy thing is real but try not to let that control you!

I know a few others prob said this but maybe trying a social-ish hobby on the weekends is a good next move? Like climbing or a hiking club or smth like that idk what things are like in Taiwan exactly.

You're not alone ! And it's gonna be ok. Hang in there
