I&#x27;ve experienced an almost opposite situation a few years ago. Rather than moving away and losing friends, life brought me to a location in which I couldn&#x27;t care less to live in. Because of this, I would make a great effort to not make friends, not socialize, and not have anything to do with the community. I lived with the assumption that it was a temporary situation and would be over soon. It wasn&#x27;t as temporary as I had hoped...
