Why Making Friends as an Immigrant Feels So Hard: 5 Patterns That Keep Us Lonely

This is for you if:

• You moved to a new country and miss having “your people” nearby
• You feel tired of small talk but still crave connection
• You want friendships, but reaching out feels awkward or vulnerable
• You are wondering why it seems so much harder than you expected
• You want a gentle, honest space to reflect with others who get it

This is not a lecture about “networking” or forcing yourself to be more social. It’s a warm, reflective space to pause, understand yourself better, and leave with one small realistic step toward more connection.

We’ll explore 5 common patterns that often keep immigrants stuck in loneliness.

This is a free online workshop facilitated by Dasha, an immigrant, ICF-trained coach, and host of reflection circles for people navigating life transitions, immigration, and starting over.

You don’t need to have anything figured out. Come as you are.
