Tried travelling solo.. Hated it. Now its Making Me Hesitant for the Next Trip?
So yeah as the title states.. I went to Vietnam for 4 weeks recently. First of all, the country is 11/10 and if you're thinking about going, dear God please go. Its amazing.
I loved Vietnam. Absolutely loved it. I met tons of new interesting people, some who I talked to for 10mins, some who I stuck with for days. People were amazingly friendly, but when I breached this subject they all seemed to just go on and on about how amazing it was going alone and how they loved it and wouldn't have it any other way (must've all been from this subreddit lol). But I'd always look across the room and see couples together and just feel incredibly lonely. I hiked to the top of a mountain in Sapa (do this!!) and it was unreal, but there were all the couples holding each other in the cold while I sat alone. I did so many new things, but I had noone to share the experience with.
I'm rambling maybe. But my point is while I loved my trip, and really went out of my way to try talk to people (I'm 29, male, quite shy but I try my best), a feeling of just intense loneliness permeated the whole trip. And I'm thinking of going back to SE Asia soon for longer.... But honestly the feeling was so shitty that its putting me off going.
I don't even know why I'm posting this lol. Maybe for encouragement or just anyone who's experienced similar? How did people get around this? Its just not the same with randoms who you met that week.
P.s. I'm aware this might just be my own personal issue and can't be helped. But if you don't ask you'll never know right
