Is it possible to live abroad without sacrificing my social life?

Since I was young, I moved around several countries. Because of this, or my general personality, my childhood was mostly alone, except for a few years that I familiarized myself to the country before moving to another.

Thus I feel a longing detachment from other people’s childhoods. But I know people who had a lonely childhood as well, whether it’s due to medical or mental difficulties, who ended up being my best friends.

I just finished my exams, and now I moved to another country. I’m alone again. I’m planning to move soon for uni to another country. I fear that I’ll be alone then, and the data shows that I should be.

I can entertain myself (as with everyone else living in the mass information era). But I fear I am (and will be) missing out important social interactions during my most active years.

I’m very young and unsure of what’s going to come. But I’m confused about what to do now, and constantly get the urge that I have to do something about it.
