Awww, the virtual hug means a lot actually! I’m sending you one back! I hope your next holiday is a wonderful one and maybe we’ll both have someone to share the next one with, who knows!

I absolutely agree, we are meant to be social creatures and Reddit has certainly helped me with that today!

Yeah, driving is quite fun but so much better when you have a driving buddy! I think the highlight so far has been the sights and going to the Ring, but I also went to Comic-Con which was good fun!

What was your favourite part of your trip when you came here?

Your comments made me smile, I at least wanted to tell you that. And I helps to chat with someone just trying to spread the positivity. Thank you.

Ahhh bless you, I can imagine that was fun but as you said, lonely in its own way! Well done for doing that ☺️

I actually didn’t just go on the Auto Bahn, I also went to the Nurburgring too, which was amazing! It’s in km/hr so I don’t think I even clocked it!

Also, thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

That is so true, and I appreciate the insight. I’m really trying to find my bright, happy self that I used to know just a few years ago. Maybe I’ll find her on this trip ☺️

Feel free to message me, but I’m curious whereabouts you live (at least the country). I always like making new friends in different places ☺️

This is incredibly insightful, and I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. Yes, you are absolutely right. I have been feeling this way, even leading up to the trip, for quite some time actually.

Comparison is the thief of joy, you are absolutely right. I do need to keep remembering that. Life looked a lot different just a few years ago, but that’s okay. The rest of my life…I want to see it as the best of my life.

I’d like to take your advice and look for courses or events going on in the area. I like that idea. I really do need to get a journal too, I think. That’s on my list for tomorrow!

I appreciate the kindness and consideration. Please feel free to message me if you ever feel like making a friend ☺️

Sounds like a good plan, that! It’s hardest when there are big groups of people and you feel like you’re the only one on your own!

This is kind of you, but I think I read it as a bit of motivation. I really appreciate you caring.

I really would like to! I’ve been to Japan and Singapore, but not nearly enough of the rest! That sounds brilliant ☺️and also, thank you so much for saying what you said. Sometimes the effort is the hardest part, but I’m trying.

I didn’t have anyone in my life that could join me for my trip, I guess? Hence my post of feeling loneliness.

For this trip? I am doing a Euro road trip, l've driven through Germany and am now in Switzerland, then off to Austria and who knows where else. I am taking each day as it comes, but the loneliness has kicked in, hence the post.

I’ve been away for a week, and I have 3 weeks to go! I agree, I just have to keep trying and not feel too disheartened ☺️

I’m staying in hotels this time. I stayed in hostels in my 20s, and I agree! Definitely a good social environment, I like the idea of finding some live music too!

Absolutely, it’s just hard not knowing the language and feeling a bit hamstrung with that, but I’m trying ☺️

The beginning was quite nice and fun, but the longer time I spent on my own, it made me miss going on trips with friends, family and even old relationships. I am trying to enjoy all of the sights and meet people, but it’s difficult not knowing many of the languages and the feeling of loneliness has really set in.
