Hello, question asker!
It's tough to give advice on relationships in just a few words, but I'm excited to chat with you about it! I'll help you explore new possibilities when you feel lonely or bored.
[Blend in and bring it out]
You said you want to go out but you don't know what to do, which is totally normal! I'm not sure how long you'll be staying in China this time, but if it's a long time, you can absolutely make a small plan related to interpersonal interactions during your vacation to enrich your vacation life. You may already have a stable circle of friends at university abroad, but you may feel a little uncomfortable when you come back, which is totally understandable!
It's totally normal to become estranged from old classmates or neighbors after a period of time. But don't worry! There are plenty of ways to re-integrate into your old circle of acquaintances. Look for appropriate opportunities to reconnect, such as reunions with old classmates, someone's birthday, or specific holidays.
Or, you can also try to participate in some offline activities in your favorite circles, so as to expand your circle of friends! Think anime exhibitions, meet-and-greets, talent shows, and more. Interpersonal skills are also a kind of skill. If you invest time in this area, you will reap a lot!
[Go out, invite in]
We've already covered some great ways to get out and about, but we'd love to hear your ideas too! Write down all the ideas you can think of, and then pick the one you are most excited to try and start practicing it tomorrow.
In addition, you also say in the article, "staying at home all day playing games" and "the house is too big." If you usually like the feeling of staying at home, and it's also relatively hot outside, you can also invite classmates or relatives and friends you used to know to your house to play games, watch movies, chat, eat, etc. Of course, if you feel awkward about such things, or are worried that your invitation will be rejected, which is only natural, you can try inviting peers with the characteristics of a champion first.
Sometimes, just taking a small step forward can make all the difference!
[Fill in what is missing]
We often say that it is not the problem itself that is important, but the goal behind it. Today, you have the opportunity to turn your problem, "What if I'm too lonely?" into a goal that will help you to develop your interpersonal skills, expand your real circle of friends, and have someone to hang out with during the holidays!
You can do it! All you need is a little courage to take the first step. Start by making a list of old friends you still want to keep in touch with and their contact details. Then, think about the exciting new circles you want to join. Once you've done that, it's time to pick up the phone and start contacting them!
Fill in what is missing. For adolescents, friends are really indispensable — and an absolute must!
I really hope the questioner has a fantastic time with his friends during the holidays in China and successfully completes his thesis!

I totally get that feeling. Maybe stepping out for a hobby class could help, like art or cooking; it's a great way to meet new people who share similar interests.
It sounds tough. Have you considered joining online communities or forums where you can connect with others who enjoy the same games as you? It might be a start to make some friends.
Feeling lonely is such a drag. What about adopting a pet? They can provide companionship and even give you a reason to go out, like taking a dog for walks in the park.
I understand how you feel. Volunteering can be rewarding and allows you to interact with different folks. Plus, it can be really fulfilling to contribute to your community.
Sometimes we all need a change. Perhaps rearranging your living space or creating a cozy corner just for yourself can make the house feel more intimate and less empty.
