With the pandemic I started drinking a lot more because I was lonely.. The frequent moves, mostly due to visas, the pandemic lockdowns, contributed to the small networks I made in each country shutting down, losing old friends.. I am talking friends, not even business colleagues...
Often I go weeks, without talking to another human besides "No thanks I have my own bag" to the lady at the grocery store.. I am somewhere between outgoing and solitary but needing a group of friends is important. I am 36 years old and I wouldnt choose a different path but if you want to work remote, and live in other countries( there is no way I can afford to live in USA), you should figure out how to stay in just one country you like for a long time(legally). And develop that network. I always manage to date cool girls, fall in love, almost got married last year(also ruined from pandemic lockdowns), but I think having a group of bros/comraderie is detrimental to mental soundness
