Being in a new place can be quite overwhelming. But if you face things upfront and simply continue with life day by day, things will eventually go back to normal. For instance, instead of sulking or being a loner at work or in school you could slowly make friends. Choose a friendly person to be your first friend. Keep an open and neutral expression so others will feel welcome to make friends with you too. Just don't be too shy or too aggressive either.   As you begin to make friends, you will enjoy your new job or new school. So, you will even look forward to going to work or going to school everyday. You will also even hang out with friends too and get invited to parties and gatherings. Don't think too much. Just look at the brighter side of things always.   This does not mean that you should forget about your friends though. You should still stay in touch with them as often as you want as long as you don't forget to go out as well. In fact, telling them about your new life could help you feel better. You could also invite old friends over or you could also take a trip back to your old neighborhood once in a while. Time will help you get settled and well-adjusted. The more open you are to it, the sooner it will happen.
