Is it normal to hate where you live?

I really hate the town where I have to live. I only moved here because of my husband. I moved to a different country so we could stay together. Having moved here combined with some other bad luck is forcing me to do university by correspondence. This in turn is preventing me from ever meeting anyone. As a result I haven't made a single friend in the almost 4 years I've had to live here. At first I was hopeful I would eventually meet people and make friends but now I'm starting to doubt I ever will. Added to this is that I don't have much money and time which prevents me from joining any clubs where I could meet people. It doesn't help either I've tried to do things where I could meet people but the only people I met were people I was just not compatible with. Either they were in their 50s, so of course at a completely different stage in life, or they were the kind of people who mainly care about drinking and partying. I just don't like to waste money on alcohol, and I don't like partying either. Also, I'm kind of a nerd (I love creative writing and reading) and shy which doesn't help things either. I used to have a few friends when I was a teenager but unfortunately I've lost touch with them. Because we're renting I can't even have a pet either. I have applied for jobs when I actually had enough time to have a job but I never even got an interview. Thanks to the recession there are hardly any jobs available. I want to apply for volunteering soon for which I won't have much time either, and I'm already extremely worried I won't even be accepted to volunteer. I'm 22 and already really depressed and fed up with everything. I'm sorry this got so long.is it normal to hate where you live?

    If you're really unhappy, then leave. Go where you want to go, do what you want to do. I'm also 22 and I can't believe you're already married.

    Another thing is that maybe most people in general dont seem to fit with you not just because of where your at.that was my point.￱

      oky, well not everyone has to drink to have a good time, ans not everyone that doesnt want to drink wants to be a "wannabe loser". Its just not their bag, not what they fine enjoyable. way to be a judgemental ass.

      I dnt knw any good advice cause i kinda hate where i live and im 22 as well. at least im not married, but then again i dont have a grilfriend or anything eithe... idk, i hope thing turn aroubd for you. And why to you have so little time for work or even volunteer work?
