I am a happily expects in Japan but loneliness is killing me! Sometimes cultural differences is way too different from our home country. We might overcome cultural differences, we might overcome all difference in life style but we cannot ever overcome loneliness when there isn’t a soulmate!

Laoting

I guess that is where one needs to have an avenue of communicating with others, be it in the real world or virtually. =) Maybe you could find some expats from your country in Japan? =)

be an explorer to where you are standing right now, you seems professional and it will not be hard for you approaching people at your own level unless your boastful type of person.

Loneliness is internal...everything exist inside you...you have the choise to choose to be happy,cheerful,sad,lonely,etc...you are the author of your Liveline...enjoy every moment...be happy,life is a play...

I used to travel solo, I know how hard it could be. CouchSurfing helped me a lot, there are monthly meetings, hang out with another expats and share our experiences.

Go to a new places and see the beauty of Japan, travel in the weekends to a different parts of the country. And talk to your family and friends back home.

Loneliness overwhelms me. I live in one of the most populated cities in the world. CAIRO. I am female, American, Muslim and wearing hijab. Rarely do I meet Americans or westerners and most are far younger. They are partying and drinking. Muslim women my age have their own circles and don't usually even have time-they are busy with husbands/kids. No one really knows what to do with me and I am tired of not fitting anywhere. The expat clubs seem very drinks oriented. I don't mind if others drink but I can't really hang out in a getting pissed atmosphere.
Ultimately we have to live alone in our own skin-but I really would like to spend time with others.
I'm taking a womans dance class. Hoping its a good start.

who knows what soulmate is??? why searching for an utopian life, which may or maynot even exist...cultural difference is such an evil that can turn your soulmate into a stranger over certain issues...here i am in france, with my 'soulmate' as you would say, i would say ' my french husband', but i am having the worst time of my life dealing with the language, the unknown country and loneliness...no one comes to your rescue....

loneliness is only in your mind..and you are the only one who can control it..

go out, greet people..

like one of a serial's tag line..the truth is out there..
:D

The key to being around drinkers when you don't drink is to not try to control their behavior.  They're trying to have fun, so join them.  Sometimes it's much better to be the only sober person around.
