I think it just means you're lonely. There's wrong with hanging out with foreigners. You probably wouldn't feel nearly as lonely after saying goodbye to them if you had more friends close by.

Start by working on overcoming your fear of social situations. You don't have to become a social butterfly or have super confidence, but try to make another friend or two. Maybe try some meetups if you haven't yet? It's not always easy to make friends. It might take some time. But if you keep at it, you will make some and you will be more comfortable around people.

In the meantime, I don't know if this will help or not but...try to remember that hurting when people go away is actually a good sign. It means you connected with them enough and cared about them enough as human beings that their absence actually affects you. I think that is a sign of a good heart. Once you find more local friends, I think you'll have no trouble keeping them.

Well I've never experienced the exact anxiety you're talking about but I see where you're coming from.

Could you go a little more in depth as to what the anxiety's like? Is it like "Oh, God I'm never going to find such a cool person ever again." or is it more of a general *eeeehhhhhhhhhh* feeling?

Meetups for whom? There seem to be only activity based meetups where people go to do their hobby thing and go home.

Yes, it's like *Owwwww, it hurts that I might never see them again and I'm afraid I will die alone without friends or lovers*. I guess Anon above is right, I might be lonely.

OP

Foreigners are always fun to hang out especially for a few days because there's a shitload of topics to talk about since besides of the fact you don't know them yet there are also cultural differences etc. Not to mention the fact people who travel are usually extroverted and fun to hang out, plus there's the "exotic" factor which is a turn on for many people.
I meet a lot of foreigners and gotta admit, it's always shitload of fun, but I don't get attached to them at all. I need to spend more than a few days with somebody to get attached, so all my close friends are the ones that live somewhat near by. I don't have many but still sometimes I don't have enough of time to hang out with all of them regularly; no time to be lonely. Even tfw no gf pretty much went away because of that, kek

So yep. Try to find a few good friends at your place, ones with mutual hobbies or at least a similar temperament. Give them a chance because it's not as easy to connect with somebody who lives near by and has their own life etc etc as with foreigners who came specifically to have fun and talk to locals
