relationship help: In this place where I grew up, it’s called Singapore, i feel like a complete stranger. - Help.com

In this place where I grew up, it’s called Singapore, i feel like a complete stranger.

I can’t seem to connect with people, i feel increasingly cut off and distanced from people.

The only person I feel I could connect with in a way that really matters is someone I love, but who does not want to be in a relationship with me.

Sometimes I feel like i’m going crazy. All the thoughts in my head… all the things that I see… all the things that i feel inside.

Badly want to leave this country… but I don’t know how to move on. I need to move on, but how do i move on?

mmm Singapore is such a great place. Are you sigaporian? (sp?)

It’s hard to find where you “belong” We all struggle with it

yeah, i’m singaporean, …. sometimes I think i would be much happier living in Vancouver where my mom’s side of the family is… but i think i’m starting to understand what it means to belong slowly. I live with my mom and sister.. and sometimes, they really drive me up the wall… sometimes i feel like i’m in a madhouse… all these thoughts… but sometimes, life just seems so beautiful and poetic.

I think i might stay put here for a couple of years.. work on my languages.. like Thai and Chinese and maybe Malay.. and also music… and pursue a masters degree here… but sometimes I’m so scared about not belonging and feeling like a stranger in my own country.
