We're anti social society, but if you look for Filipino then maybe


i like meeting new people... and i socialize in terms of geography, culture and history. i know a lot about these things and it's my way of connecting to other people. 🙂


Who cares. Americans don't know history or culture



Go to new York or L.A.

Not all I would think. Some might have the same interests as I do.

Networking is very important. I truly believe you can always make friends as long as you are willing to have human encounter. It took my a whole year before I became friend with anyone when I moved from TN to CT and I Am a fairly social person. I recently joined a young professional group and it was one of the hardest things because I came by myself to try to connect with people but it’s do able and groups like that usually have ice breakers.

Tennessee is like in the south and it's in the countryside... and CT is in New England... near NY, is it?

Yes and they are very different so it was a big culture shock for me but anything is adaptable if you have the right attitude.

That's good that you were able to adapt.

I went to Manila for my studies. My first year, I was easily able to adapt but when I entered law school, it became really hard finding friends there... I was able to adapt only after two years...

You have to think too with law school everyone was probably hyper focused on their studies too. Where is it you are thinking of moving to in the US?

I still don't have anything in mind. I'm pretty fixed here. I'm planning to do further studies though but not in the US coz tuition fees are very high there... probably in UK or in Japan. My relatives are in California though... planning to visit them soon...

Im so sick and tired of people painting the US in this bad light but yet everyone wants to live here. Riddle me that?! Knock that shit off...it's getting old! Every country thru out time has had or done some fucked up things. Does shit happen...yes but majority don't think or act like what's portrayed in the media.

You will make friends. It may be hard at first and that's due to age...it's always harder when older but not impossible. We are not anti social and we very much like people and other cultures.

+1 👏

I think it's because we are so honest about out issues, where in other countries it's swept under the rug.

Yep as we should...we are the melting pot after all so things are going to come up and need to be discussed but as adults..not adults running around half cocked and pushing agenda's but not actually accomplishing anything. This planet will never be a Utopia ...you can't learn and grow from everyone being the same or things being perfect.

Couldn't have said this better myself.
