I'm in debt rn so need to sit tight for a month to save money to pay it off

Then I'll get a long term rental apartment

Then I want to get a cat, probably a kitten or 2, cos I'm lonely and I want company and I have cravings to love and look after something

All while doing this I am trying to get a gf. using all dating apps and funneling them to my IG and trying to just find someone nice

And to build social life I have a few different ways:
  • Going boxing gym , make friends with NT boxers
  • Maybe also go other martial arts gyms like BJJ, wrestling etc to maximize amount of people I can become friends with
  • Girl im speaking rn wants to bring me island hopping with her friends and their boyfriends so maybe ill make friends with their bfs
  • Also trying to find other expats online to be friends with in same city
  • Will gymmaxx everyday so maybe meet ppl there

So I'll have my work, my cats, a gf hopefully, socializing at boxing, socializing at gyms, gfs friends bfs, other expats .

Then hopefully should be able to build a normal life and stop being a loser

Why
 
Moving to a new country without knowing anyone is tough you’re basically starting from scratch in every part of life. Without friends or anyone to guide you, even basic things like finding a place to live, figuring out how things work id a challenge. My uncle went through this when he moved from India to Chicago about 30 years ago. This was back in the '90s when there weren't many Indians around, so he had a really tough time. He didn't know how to do taxes, apply for visas, get work permits. He had to figure it out by himself by going to the immigration office every week just to understand what to do.

Even small things like setting up a bank account, getting a phone connection, or understanding public transport was huge struggle for him. He'd switch homes every few months. It was only after he finished college and slowly started building a circle of friends that things began to look up. Eventually he found his footing but he struggled for years. @loyolaxavvierretard

Yes. He is now a millionaire. Rode the .com craze and is now retired and lives in a posh area. He still remembers his Albany Park days tho.

All of those things are very easy these days and I've done most already

Anything else?
