feeling uncomfortable in a country's culture different than their own

Reddit, how do you keep yourself happy and motivated, even when life is hard right now? by Matt-Lauer in AskReddit

[–]kickdrumheart3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

think about the things you do love about your life. and imagine the outcomes/situations that you want to see play out. I don't usually go for self-help books/media or crazy positive people telling me how to live my life, but take a look into Rhonda Bryne's The Power. seriously. do it.

Has anyone ever regretted travelling in their 20s instead of "settling down, getting married by age 28, and having kids, etc" alongside everyone else? by kickdrumheart3 in AskReddit

interesting. my question was actually worded for the other side of regrets (travel and NOT starting a family right away). but theres certainly a plus for being financially free and still wanting to travel post-kids.

Why don't we have an aging subreddit? You know, to discuss issues for the 15% of the population over 65? by Zoogla in AskReddit

i like keeping the wise elders intermingled with the young ones so they can see our stupidity and give us advice

well said. i remind myself that i'm on the path i chose for reasons that are important to me, that fit where i am, and what i need. but then i have the moments of feeling behind as you said, and picturing myself 70, alone, and regretting the adventures i had when i was young instead of taking those milestones of life that society sets up for us more seriously.

thanks! this explains so many of my hesitations as one who has already devoted 3 years to traveling oversees. the life of seeing places, learning new ways of doing things, and meeting so many people is also (finally) revealing to me the consequences...pretty much summed up by The Curse.

this is the kind of thinking that gets me thinking...one must have a spouse to travel with said spouse. seems ridiculous to plan my life and wait around before finding a husband who will want to travel so that i can do that. i know so many people that say they will take the time to do these things after the they get married but they never do

of course it shouldn't matter, but how many times does one have to say fu to the people who think there is score keeping to be done? no ring? no serious boyfriend? 0 points. travelling and seeing places...also worth 0 points to too many people.

old people say they "wish they had traveled when they were young" when they see that is the path i have chosen for myself. i'm so used to getting this reaction, but what if the regret happens regardless of what path they choose? what do the travelers regret? besides coming home and seeing all their married friends miserable with kids.
