> Perhaps your life failed to launch, and moving to a new country could genuinely help you restart from a difficult situation.

I caution against changing countries to fix your unhappiness with life in general (unless you really are from a disaster area). If your general approach to life leads to grief, you will just be taking it with you to a new location. I've seen it often enough.

Some of the angriest expats I knew in Japan were Japanese Americans. They had felt rejected by American society, so went to the "old country" in search of belonging. The native Japanese just regarded them as Americans, so they ended up feeling doubly rejected.

I agree, and at the same time I think that sometimes you realize your approach to life has been wrong and you’ve learned your lesson but it’s easier to start over than to fix the existing problems.

In this case I recommend moving cities within your own culture rather than switching to a new one.
