I was born and raised in taiwan, currently residing in USA and working in IBM. Earning a 5 figure salary, i still can't find life to be satisfying. Everyday i go home, i have my meal, i sleep, and i feel very depressed. I dont seem to be accepted by the American culture, nor Taiwanese culture- trapped between two. i got friends, but yet i found that i am still not a part of my adopted culture and society, not the way i wanted to be and the way i expected to become. Can anyone with a past experience help me ?Any advice ?

I don't think things would be better for you in Taiwan, so don't try moving there.
See a counsellor about your problems. They can help you out.

You need to get out and create social ties. I am living in the UK for almost 2 years and I am in the same situation. I previously lived near Atlanta for 5 years. During my first 3 years there, I wasn't very happy. Not until I created social ties, friends and other things after 4 years did I start to enjoy things. By the 5th year, I didn't want to leave. So, life is what you make of it friend. Go out there and start doing things. If you don't make a change, nothing gets better.

I think your experience explains while the USA is a mosaic of cultures and subcultures. Birds of a feather flock together. But there are ways. In the words of my father who had a tough go at acceptance at work: "I just loved them." For example, he would ask about their families, and he would go to their family funerals to comfort them, he would otherwise show a genuine interest in their lives. He was also good at asking questions that allowed him to learn more and to find ways of extending kindnesses and friendship.

you should make a bigger effort trying to be a part of American culture. From what you said you life is like every day, it seems almost as if you're not making an effort at all. Call one of your friends up, make plans to go somewhere.

I think you should try to find someone out there to love.
Go to Yahoo Personals or matchmaker.com and try to find someone with your interests.
I feel the same way you do, but right now, I'm kind of stuck in this depressed state until I can move out of my parents house.
good luck!

Grab Your money and move up north to Canada, Toronto, Ontario. It's killer multi-cultural and they will accept You with open arms. Try a holiday first and see if You like it.

Here's a very easy Solution to you confusion, brother:
Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.
