I've been feeling like I don't belong here for a long time... I mean in the US. which is weird because I've lived here my entire life. it's to the point where I feel alone most of the time. maybe it's time to move on.

This may not be a lot of comfort but you are not the only one. I have these same feelings and I know there are others. I'm older so I'll probably just ride it out but I don't like the way we are headed and I fear for my children's and future generations future.
I hear ya. The reason I don't have a kid yet. I don't want to put someone else through not being able to afford to buy a house or retire ever
Yeah, my kids are 35 and they have no plans to have kids. Buying a house is out of the question. I'm hoping I can make enough right moves here in crypto to leave them something when I go.
it's fucked. We're doomed to work until we die and never own a home. I'm 29 and just hoping I can get out of the US soon
Alone in which way?
in general. no matter who I'm around.
That's an isolating feeling 😞
Are you certain that it's a function of geographic location, and not just the company you keep?
not necessarily. I don't think it's the company I keep as I don't really keep any company. Just me, the wife, & a tiny group of family/super close friends. never been much of an outgoing person, which is probably why I have very few close friends. I just need a change & the more I think about it, along with the state things here... It feels like I should leave.
In all honesty, I've had this feeling to a certain degree as well. It feels like the US has been on a downward trend for the past couple of decades. To some degree, maybe my view is tainted by understanding which was not present during childhood. However, I've heard this same sentiment from those who were already living here for some time back in the 90's.
Dual citizenship time?
yeah I'm 29 and this is exactly the feeling. like a sort of hopelessness because it's nearly impossible to afford to live a decent lifeuunless you have tons of money or a wealthy family
Make a trip to another country and relax. You'll feel at home again when you return 😀
Hopefully. I didn't wanna come back from Mexico lol
Hopefully they don't detain migrants from the US in Mexico 😅
haha, nah. They don't give a fuck
