You have been assigned to work in a foreign place, have no friends, and your work is very difficult. You are in a challenging situation. Do you feel "helpless"?
At the same time, I want to know if you feel anxious, depressed, or even scared.
First and foremost, your work as a supervisor entails a dynamic of both confrontation and cooperation with the unit you are overseeing.
First and foremost, your work as a supervisor requires a relationship of both confrontation and cooperation with the supervised unit.
Confrontation means you supervise them and they are the object of supervision, which is determined by the nature of the work. You must show your strength and reasonableness and be brave enough to offend people. On the one hand, you need to show the controlling parent side and assert your authority. On the other hand, you need to be calm and collected when dealing with problems, find ways to solve them, and find ways to get the information you need for your work.
The point of cooperation is that the purpose of your supervision is also to help the supervised unit improve the quality of their products or work. It's not about finding fault or trying to ruin their business.
The point of cooperation is that the purpose of your supervision is also to help the supervised unit improve the quality of their products or work. It's not about finding fault or trying to ruin their business.
You are there to help them by supervising them, and you are there to work with them. They must also provide the corresponding information and cooperate with you for your supervision to be completed.
You need to be able to deal with people and face problems head-on. You have to be an adult.
Your interactions with them indicate a childish mindset, characterised by feelings of powerlessness, frustration and anger. Do you perceive yourself as a powerless victim?
It's clear from your interactions with them that you've often displayed a childish mindset. You've told yourself that you're helpless, frustrated, and angry. Do you feel like a victim?
You're tired and bored, and you're already thinking about quitting. Don't you feel any pain?
You need to think about it more carefully, adjust your state of mind, mobilize your parental and adult state, communicate more with the person in charge, and appeal to their emotions and reason. Make your position clear: you are there to help them improve the quality, not to undermine it.

Get the information you need and check the items you need to check, using every means possible.
You need to decide if this job is right for you. Think about whether your usual state of mind is suited to this kind of work, which requires assertiveness. If so, you are over 30 years old, and changing jobs requires a lot of consideration. Take your time to think about this.
The second point is crucial: a lack of friends leaves you unsupported under any work pressure.
You don't have any friends, and you don't have any local friends either.
You should call your old friends every now and then to vent.
You need to think about whether you can confide in your family or ask for help.
From your description, it is clear that you feel you have no friends or family to provide help.
Friends and family are our "social support systems." You can't live in the world as an island and still be comfortable.
You need to develop yourself here.
You must develop your own intimate relationships, find enough good friends, and even more intimate relationships to build your own support system!
Note: The above "mental state" theory comes from interpersonal communication analysis. For more information, see books such as "Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist," "I'm Fine, How Are You?" and "Today's TA."

I totally get how frustrating and isolated you must feel in this situation. It's like being stuck in a maze with no clear exit. Sometimes the best thing might be to look for allies within the company who can support you and help navigate these challenges.
It sounds incredibly tough being away from home and facing such disrespect. Maybe reaching out to HR could offer some solutions or at least provide guidance on handling uncooperative colleagues without escalating conflicts.
Feeling unheard and disrespected is really hard, especially when you're trying to do your job right. Perhaps focusing on building relationships outside of work could offer a bit of relief and a new perspective on things.
The isolation and repeated mistakes from coworkers are really getting under your skin. I wonder if there's a way to create a more structured process for information exchange that could reduce errors and improve cooperation over time.
This must be so demoralizing, dealing with gossip and lack of respect. Have you considered documenting everything carefully? That way, you have a record if you decide to escalate the issue or look for opportunities elsewhere.
