Ten years as an expat – congratulations! I think you have given it your all and created something for yourselves. For me, the social environment wouldn't be so important. I lived abroad for a long time and didn't look for connections at all. I generally don't do that. Some things happen by chance, but if not – so what?! Your goals grow with your achievements; I wish you all the best for the future!
That's one thing I can never cut myself off from. My social environment is not very important for me but I cannot ignore it either. I enjoy my space but at the same time, I need some life around on and off when I want to step out of my space.
You are right with achievements goals also get bigger.
Thank you for your kind wishes @weisser-rabe
