In the Netherlands, I do not have any friends or company because in my daily life, I haven’t met anyone who could be my friends. I don’t mean it to be in the negative phase, but I am not good at talking and I’m not good at communicating with other people. So my hobbies are also pretty boring and I also would like to stay at home rather than going out with friends. When I used to live in Thailand, on my mother’s house, in my country, I had one friend. I rarely went outside with her. I rarely met her outside of school. So I think to have friends, you have to communicate with them and constantly be your friendship. You have to pay attention to it. You have to keep in contact with it, which I think is very difficult. I also enjoy to stay alone and I don’t think it’s a problem at all. For me, staying alone is such a reward. You can also realize and think about yourself more than when you are with others. Thank you.

In the Netherlands, I do not have any friends or company because in my daily life, I haven't met anyone who could be my friend. I don't mean this in a negative way, but I am not good at talking and I'm not good at communicating with other people. My hobbies are also pretty boring, and I would rather stay at home than go out with friends. When I used to live in Thailand, at my mother's house, I had one friend. I rarely went out with her and I rarely met her outside of school. I think to have friends, you have to communicate with them and constantly nurture your friendship. You have to pay attention to it and keep in contact, which I think is very difficult. I also enjoy being alone, and I don't think it's a problem at all. For me, being alone is a reward. You can realize and think about yourself more than when you are with others. Thank you.
