and start from scratch, with no family, no friends...
to be fated for feeling like a stranger...
anybody?

forced as in how?

As in the Syrians and other war refuges?

IDK, my grandfather and father were forced to leave their "homeland".
They did okay I guess. But they also had fellow countrymen to help in making the adjustment. As for myself, at my age, with the apparent selfishness most people in this country seem to have, I'd probably end up wandering the streets talking to myself.

sounds like most of my life
my parents moved around a lot
18 schools in 2nd grade alone

pick up and start again
<shrug>

you have it harder then i, cause all the places i moved to spoke english

but same theory
pick up and start a new

both sides of my parents fam came from over sea's

I have moved often around the USA with no friends or family with me and I will tell it was pretty hard at first. Another country would be even harder the only one I think I could adjust to fairly well would be Canada.

not babbling, it could be very private issue,
anyway, what was my goal here is to share how to deal with the feeling of being stranger

many people feel alone takes time to get to know people wish you luck whatever you situation is

You can relocate a thousand times over.
You're only a stranger, for as long as you choose to remain one.

I agree your only lonely becouse u choose to be ... you need to get involved possibly by helping others locally ... that would make a difference in your life ...

It really depends on how you look at things. I personally have lived in 6 different countries ranging from Asia to Europe, and even more cities. Each time it was starting anew, with no family support or even friends. In many of the cases, it was in a totally new environment, culture and language as well. Till my mid-twenties, I faced enormous problems dealing with an identity crisis. Finally in my thirties, I learnt to accept the fact that no matter where I go, I shall always be a foreigner and will have to learn to adapt to the local conditions where ever I am at that point in time. I now consider myself a Global citizen, and I can tell you that it has completely changed my view of the world. I find myself much more adept at dealing with whatever situation comes my way. The fact that I am a polyglot with an ability to speak four languages at a native level, and another three at an intermediate level, helps to facilitate my integration. To be honest, at this stage in life where I am over sixty, I still do not know where I shall end up. However, I look at this as an opportunity to learn and further develop myself, rather then as a victim of circumstances.

Hope this is helpful. In any case, I wish you good fortune.
