Now, on a more serious note, I believe that all the activities that make up a person's daily life are difficult to cope with. As children, we want to be adults, but when we are, we have no idea how to face life in a satisfactory way. Am I wrong?
In that context, I think there is a higher level of difficulty, and that is living life as an adult abroad. Without a doubt, it is the most difficult thing I have ever had to in my life so far. It often represents twice the effort, because anything that you knew worked a certain way, works the same way somewhere else. So, here are a few reasons why I consider it the hardest thing I've done so far.
Culture
The first thing that may be difficult to assimilate is the culture of the country you are moving to. It is normal to experience cultural shocks for at least... every day. It's just not something you get used to, and in one way or another, it will annoy you, and probably the locals, as well.
Closely linked to the above is the dislike you may have for simple things in the local culture that were not so in your country. For example, lunch hours or socializing. Then comes the question, do I really fit in here? No, but the alternatives are few if we consider that the budget is not as strong as to change place and culture.
Loneliness
All of the above can lead you to feel, little by little, a generalized loneliness. Despite technology, there is no time when you do not miss your family and the in-person affection that you can only have in such a way.
It is a matter that you feel like crossing an old bridge that wobbles from one side to the other, generating a myriad of emotions that you have to manage as best as possible to avoid suffering major psychological consequences later.
Productivity
How you feel obviously also has an impact on how you get things done, too. For example, whether you can deal with keeping the house tidy (mom made it look pretty easy).
But it's not just your home, it's your workplace, as well. When you're not quite adjusted and your moods aren't the best, you tend not to perform as you should and suddenly feel useless. Which naturally leads to not achieving personal goals (or seeing them as unattainable).
Anyway, I think that living abroad having to take care of everything is absolutely difficult. Indeed, many people give up after a short time because of the enormous burdens it entails. It should only be attempted in case you are someone incredibly dreamy and stubborn, like me.
