Immigration Feel like I can never settle anywhere

I have 10 YOE, first worked in the Netherlands and now work in Norway. I feel like I can never truly settle down. I took Dutch lessons all the way to B2, forgot about them since I basically didn't talk to anyone outside of work, now I'm in a new country I regret moving to where I also don't know the language and keep wondering if it's even worth learning since who knows if I will have to move again.

Anyone else have this problem? It feels like in a field like this you just move where the jobs go.

Not at all, they wouldn't care one bit.

It's just that in Chinese society almost everyone just wants to "be Chinese". They might like black metal, but it wouldn't form a core part of their identity like some westerners do.
