I don’t recommend asking Reddit but if you do, ask a more appropriate subreddit.

At the end of the day, you will have to do the work yourself to see what you could do to come for a while and stay.

Everything is an adjustment and visiting one place is very different from living there. Check out what’s the max amount of time you could stay and, if you can, try and stay in Nebraska for the max time. Rent an air bnb by yourself. Fully emerge yourself the best you can and do things solo! You won’t have friends around 24/7, which means be on your own can be quite lonely.

When I made a big move, I told myself one year. I had to stay one year (unless shit went sideways) and then I could decide if it was for me. A decade later and I LOVE it.

How does one move to the states and become “afflicted with mental illness”?

Respectfully, this is your third post on this, all of which are genuinely unhelpful and making the states look worse than it is.

don’t get addicted to drugs

Each state has its problem but dang. All you had to say was “be safe”, not tell them to not move because their friends will pit up and leave them.

You have this context, this post. No idea what this person is living or experiencing. Moving countries such as that is already hard enough without telling this poor 25 year old that moving 4000 miles is a waste because their friends will leave them.

I do agree with not staying over your visa.

The Dutch, for the most part depending on the part of the Netherlands, are blunt to begin with the further north you go, the more common that practice is.

I equate it to the Bostonians of the US.

This came from Dutch people I know, this was not just a random observation. I loved it.
