Solo traveling in SEA but extremely lonely and anxious after the first part of my trip
I have been looking forward to this trip for ages now and the whole time i’ve been super excited about it. Last summer i met a South African guy in my home country the Netherlands. He was there for work and ended up coming another two weeks later that summer. We hit it off great. Texted almost every day after that. He convinced me to come visit him in South Africa before going to SEA and i did.
It was amazing! He had such an amazing group of friends i got to meet and everyday was a blast. We spend everyday together and he planned most of the things for us. It was like living in a dream. Saying goodbye after two weeks of so much fun was extremely hard.
Now i’m in Thailand all on my own and i can’t help but feel extremely lonely. I have a fair amount of social anxiety and to be here all alone just hit me hard. I miss him, his company and the fact that he planned everything for us. I was so dependent on him. It makes me feel as if i can’t do this on my own now. The time difference also makes it really hard for us to text as much as we used to. Normally i don’t mind being alone but after those wonderful two weeks in South Africa i absolutely hate it.
Will things get better? I feel like giving up and heading home, but i’m really hoping to find that excitement i had for my trip before i went to South Africa.
