I'm thinking of cutting short my Working-Holiday-Visa because I'm so alone

Hi !

I don't know how to explain this without feeling pity for myself, but basically I'm on a Working Holiday Visa since the 1 of November, and I haven't been able to make any friends. I was in a guesthouse in Osaka and made some connections (but they were travelers, so I had to say goodbye), and now I live in Kyoto and will be for the following months.

Usually I don't have problems to be bubbly and connect with people : what I'm struggling with is finding opportunities to do so. I'm no longer in a guesthouse ; I'm not a student ; my co-workers are all japanese and part-timers (and I'm not skilled enough to engage).

I fear I'm also becoming bitter : other fellow working-holiday-travelers seems to have no problems finding people, having friends, and I know comparision is the thieve of joy but I can't stop myself from doing it. I feel like I'm the problem (probably am), but back in France I never had problems to do so. People on social app already have their circle of acquaintances and don't "need" me / another one, but I do. Not being on the same equal footing is saddening.

Do you have some recommandation, outside of the "just make friends!" ?

Edit : when writing this post, I though I would read 3 or 4 comments / insight, and I would have been completely glad with that. To see 160 comments made my day, and I read all of them. Thank you so much for your recommandations and insight. Just after posting this and reading the first comments, I gathered some courage posted on a FB group that I'll be there for NYE. I met a girl that is traveling for a few days here, but it took me out of the slump I was jumping into. It was only for 2 days but I feel better. I'll be trying more in 2025 !!!! And happy new year :D (and thank you again <3)
