I am having a horrible time in america

You should get another cat they are awesome! While your english isn't perfect it's still understandable and very good. I'd love to be your friend if you want and if you need any help with words or saying something I can help :)

You will regret going home. Don't give up, things will get better.

You should move away from New York. That might be one of the problems. There are plenty of aerospace opportunities in the midwest and California. You might fair better out there.

honestly you seem like a great guy. I don't know why anybody is being a jerk to you. I think people are just too critical. New York is a harsh city.

Your English is really good! I also think you should get another cat. Cats make things better. I'm so sorry that your cat died, as well.

I also had a similar experience when I moved to the United States (I'm from Scotland). I did not speak English, only Gaelic, and it was very difficult to cope with everything. People were very cold when I first came to the US.

I think you should give it a little while longer. However, if Russia is not safe, you should consider moving somewhere else, where it is perhaps cheaper/people are nicer.

Go a little more south, the people in the south are more extroverted.

The irony is, America's immigration policy is so backward that most of the immigrants who are currently there are better, more hard-working citizens than the xenophobic bigots who want to chuck them out.

Getting another cat will help fill the void of the one no longer there... try looking for events in your area that are geared towars single people. (Not saying relationship, just friendship) the more you socialize, the better your english will become.

It is shame) a man mimicks women but forgets to take on all the wonderful personality traits that come with them.

My cat has a job. She kills any insects that get into my house. Since I live in the australian tropics where insects can kill me, I highly value her services. She's a brave little furball and is rewarded well for her work.

It's hard being an immigrant. Some days you feel like a fucking alien and question everything.

Have you looked into Meetup apps and groups? I know it sounds really lame but it honestly helped me so much to just set up social stuff with other people who are also actively seeking friends. Takes the pressure off. If you do this enough you will meet people who think your foreign accent is cool and actually bother to sit through your broken English and get to know you. Once you have friends the place will start to feel like home, and you will pick up the language really fast. All it will take is for your new friend to throw a bbq or something and then bang, you're in. Who's that cool Russian guy over there? Oh yeah, he makes planes. Wow, that's awesome! I'm Gunna go ask him about planes.

Don't give up yet. Force yourself to wait until you've made some friends, otherwise you'll always look back on this as a missed opportunity and regret it. It's not like the visa application is easy or cheap.

I am sorry you are lonely. Moving from one area to another is hard and I'm sure if it's a different country and culture it is even harder. Some things get better with time, but not everything. I myself have 4 cats and a dog. If animals were enough I would be a happy person but I find I do still need friends. In America people like to say "hi how are you?" And they expect you to say smile happily and say "I'm fine." This is not a fun custom for people who are lonely or depressed. Luck with that and I hope you find some friends and maybe another cat.

I'm studying aircraft engineering

I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty. I hope you can get another baby cat, but this time keep your kitty indoors. My Siamese cat is eleven years old, quite healthy, and he is strictly an indoor cat. I also always get my cats, and dogs spayed, or neutered, because they are happier that way, and don't want to run around loose. It's better when cats aren't outside hunting birds, and rodents, because they can pick up parasites, and it can be kinda gruesome.

I hope you don't mind me making this suggestion, but look around your area to see if there is a Russian Orthodox church near you.

Welcome to the U.S.A.
For family we welcome all immigrants
IF:
1 You learn to speak american.
2 Respect the holidays here.
3 Don't expect this country to be your old one...
If it was so great go back.
If you're ready for a new life. Join the rest of us.
A big mixing bowl is what makes this country great.
Sorry to hear about your cat.
I know how that feels.
I won't say if N.Y. is good or bad.
It's to cold and crowded for me.
Sorry but, some women are bitches.
But that's universal.
Hard to believe you're lonely in N.Y.C. but I understand.
The easy solution is to seek other Russians.
That's what mexicans do.
They also never blend in.
Watch t.v., listen to n.p.r.
Practice english.
Just try.
And then.
Keep trying.
You're American now, we don't give up.

I'm sorry about your cat. I don't think you should go back to Russia, especially if the gang situation means you're not safe there. You haven't been here very long, it takes time to learn a new language and get used to a different culture. You just have to meet the right people, and you will eventually.

Get a new cat/dog dude. That will give you some company. Also I would try and learn English better, so you can communicate to people in a way that makes them look on your favourably. Do you have any work colleagues? Maybe tell them your situation in the same way you told it to us. I think a lot of people will be sympathetic if you're as open with them as you are with us. Explain the situation to them, and then if they are nice about it ask them if they want to go to the pub later, or to get coffee or something.

God you seem so sweet!
Get a new cat trust me it helps
I'm not an american but I see many people have already given you some great advice! Hope it helps and dont leave to go back there. I know its hard but leaving here could result you in regretting your decision

I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I've had a few cats too in the past, and I really missed them when they were gone

Join a chess club. Russian accents are a natural good fit with chess players. Chess players will think your accent sounds cool. Don't bother with American women. After you become established in your job, you could get a Russian bride from the Internet. They want to get away from Братва too.

Out of all the countries to pick, why pick America? It's a dump.

Anyway, I would get a new cat. You sound like a nice person and you'll just have to find the right people to become friends with. Give it time!
