That's completely normal, it's hard to be the new person whether you're a kid or an adult. Especially now with social distancing I imagine it's even harder because you can't really find ways to connect in your new area if you can't go out and socialize.

So so so normal. I'll let you in on a secret.....sometimes, after being in the city, with my family, for a weekend, I get home and feel lonely. I don't dwell and bh get over it pretty fast.

So so so normal. Even if you move a block down. Dynamics change. Moving is a major transition, no matter what age one is. And the further away one moves, the harder the move. It can be very unsettling. Give yourself compassion and time. ❤️

I moved 2 1/2 years ago to a new neighborhood, and the move has been wonderful for my family. The neighborhood has been welcoming. But I still miss some of my old neighbors, particularly those whom I had a really comfortable relationship with. I miss these friends popping in to visit. It takes time to build up the kind of friendships I had for so many years.
So yes, totally normal. It takes time.

So normal! I remember when we moved our current community, 2 years ago, and I was able to go to shul that first shabbat and spend a lot of time in the playground socializing and we met all the neighbors within 2 weeks. If you cant do that now, of course you will feel lonely. Give yourself time. IYH you will meet everyone soon and have an active social life in your new neighborhood. B'hatzlacha!
