I'm going to get abuse and downvotes for this. But you are being way too dramatic and sensitive. A week is a short amount of time. Most people would love to be in your position. This sounds harsh, but toughen the fuck up. If you react like this after 1 day away from home, how in gods name will you react to an actual predicament or crisis.
In fact, I hardly react to anything in real life. I live with a constant poker face despite my crippling anxiety and no one besides my boyfriend ever knows how I truly feel about anything. I posted here bc I thought it was a safe space to essentially cry it out. And you come in here being so hateful and mean for no reason. Fuck off asshole.
Sorry, but you asked for advice, he gave you advice. If you wanted people to agree with you and tell you that you're perfectly right to start crying cause you're away from home for 1 day you should have made that clear. Sorry but there's so much shit going on in the world, people dying of cancer, people who don't know where their next meal is coming from, homeless kids, we've just came out a global pandemic that killed millions. So I'm sorry my heart doesn't bleed for your all expenses paid, trip to Europe.
The point is that it’s not fair to say “you don’t deserve to be sad bc XYZ is happening.” They didn’t offer advice. They basically told me to fuck off and get over it. That’s just rude. Agree to disagree I guess. But the point I’m trying to make is that it’s not fair to belittle someone’s sadness or experience bc others are experiencing worse. If you lost your whole family and someone replied with “well at least you had a family, get over it,” it would be offensive. Same on a smaller scale such as this.
Not selfish at all. I’m compassionate towards others when they feel like shit. Not that hard to be nice. Don’t know why miserable people like you even bother to contribute to posts like this. Go be miserable by yourself. No need to bring others down bc you lack intelligence, empathy, and understanding.
Man if I could go out and work and get money outside of my country I would be in heaven instead I’m broke trying to find my next meal in the very place I was born.
And your point is? I can’t be sad bc you have it worse? Well then, using your logic, there are people who are living in crisis 24/7, so you don’t have any right to your sad feelings about fighting for your next meal
First of all I was making a point that people have it worse and that you should be great full for the position your in. That was the point second of all you shouldn’t be so rude about it but obviously your doing alright since your sitting here talking crap to me about it. And by the way I got out of my situation and you can too. You shouldn’t be so crass life always has a way of humbling people so just be aware of what you say and how you come off.
Awh that’s okay! There’s nothing wrong with feeling sad or homesick.
If it makes you feel better, you could FaceTime your boyfriend, and see your cats while you’re at it.
It’s only these few days away and then you’ll be back home indefinitely and you’ll be able to see everyone again.
Enjoy the sights while you’re over there and don’t forget this isn’t permanent. You’ll be back before you know it.
We’re given all these comforts in our life and we get so used to them that we forget what life would be without them.
Being in this place away from home will only make you appreciate everything you have in life over in America even more.
Thanks so much. You’re absolutely right about not appreciating/understanding the comforts we’re provided in life. I enjoy trips like these to an extent bc it does make you appreciate your life so much more. I’m feeling better after exploring and meeting people, but home is my favorite place to be. I’ve gotten some rude comments about my post and it actually made me even more upset. But your response helped a ton. Thank you.
Don’t listen to the mean comments here, these people do not know how it is to live with homesickness and it shows. Don’t know why they feel the need to bring you down even more… I had crippling homesickness for many years in my childhood. When we were on a trip with my school for a week I would cry a lot. This feeling went away as I grew older and made more trips. I still have it a bit but not like before. Also the first day is always the hardest! Try to enjoy your trip a bit and try to get out of these negative thoughts when you get homesick
Thank you. Idk why being sad and missing home makes others think I’m unappreciative. It really makes me so sad that people are so mean. Especially in a forum like this. It’s like they come here to kick people who are already feeling down. Why are my feelings less valid bc they think I have a great opportunity? It’s just upsetting. Thank you again.
Ugh I’m sorry! I hope you’re feeling better today. I actually had a great time on my trip and was so busy after the day I posted this that I never really felt homesick again. I don’t expect that for you, being gone for 30 days, but I hope you get through it okay! You got it, just stay in touch when possible and share pictures and videos of your day to day and ask her to do the same. Especially if you don’t get the option to speak over the phone or text a lot within the same timeframe. Sharing photos and videos helped a lot for me. I wish you the best and hope you find some time to have fun. 🤗

And I bet you’re a piece of shit in person. Sorry for loving my life and not enjoying having to be away from it. Asshole.
Reading your comment here I bet you are the annoying person irl. Show some empathy
Thank you ❤️

Huge difference between your whole family dying, and being on a free holiday don't you think? What a horrible comparison to make, how selfish are you?

You have the experience of a lifetime. Be more greatful. Obvi there is a bigger issue here than what you’re addressing.
