Answer:
When one young woman asked for life advice in an online forum she got supportive messages from all over the world.
I never thought that when I posted about how lonely I felt on social media that I would get responses from all over the world. All of a sudden, I had people giving me advice and offering to be my friend, and many of them said they felt the same way too, from time to time.
I was feeling really lost when I wrote an anonymous essay in a Facebook group called Subtle Asian Traits . I felt that the people in the group might be able to understand me, because we're all from a similar cultural background.
It began:
Hey, fellow Asians.
I'm really in need of some life advice! I'm just really lost right now about what I should do.
The situation is that my parents have been overbearing + overprotective most of my life and I remember not being allowed over to friend's houses as a kid...
I'm Australian-Chinese, and I feel like there's something about being from an immigrant background that makes our parents really strict in raising us, especially girls.
I love them but I think it has really affected the person I've become. I'm shy, introverted, and I can't keep friends for very long.
I was lonely during my adolescence and I'd say even more so now because it's so much harder to make friends as an adult, when everyone already has strong friendship circles.
