Relocation....... is it always so hard to deal with. Posted: 07-29-03 19:49pm
I recently moved to tampa florida to be
with my fiance. I left a small town in
ohio. Sold my house and left my family.
Florida is sunny and warm all the time.
But the culture differences and the social
difference Im finding it hard to deal
with. People here are not as friendly as
my small home town. They are not curtious
at all. I have never been to a place in
the USA that I have the language barrier.
I have nothing against others at all. This
place is like moving to mars for me. I
find myself stressed almost everyday about
one thing or another........I want to find
my home here... I want to adjust to the
place my fiance was born and raised. I
just dont know how to do it... Can anyone
help?

Give yourself time. It's always a big
switch to move out of your element, but I
promise that adaptation will come, but
only with time.
Think of animals. If a dog was raised
and owned by one owner for, say 10 years,
and then moved to a new owner, he'll seem
sad for the first while, but then he'll
adapt. Humans are the same way. I've
moved about 5 times, and I know how
difficult it is to adapt, but i've somehow
found happiness in "new" sceneries and
different ways of life.
