How do you build your social life after years abroad?
I’m 19M, and I don’t want to spend another summer feeling like a stranger in my own city.
I study abroad and come home every summer and every time I do, I’m reminded of how much I’ve drifted apart from the life I left behind. After years away, my social circle has quietly faded, and rebuilding it feels harder than I expected.
Seeing my friends who stayed in Mongolia thriving in their own lives genuinely makes me happy. But there’s a quiet ache that comes with it too, watching a world move on without you, realising that the connections you once had don’t quite fit the same way anymore.
For those of you who’ve been through something similar, how did you find your footing again?
