I&#x27;m sorry to hear this is such a painful experience for you. Perhaps some of us are just so accustomed to moving around that the depth of friendship you seek is a foreign concept. Some of this is just an aspect of modern society -- we lack strong ties to our place of birth and we don&#x27;t all share similar values.<p>The only concrete advice I can provide is to try finding a romantic partner. You would be less lonely, any sexual frustration you&#x27;re experiencing would be relieved, and you may develop friendships through your significant other. In many cases, finding such a partner would be easier than happening upon a person who is looking for the kind of friendship you seek. Dating is common, setting out to develop friendships not so much.
