Life anxiety
Heyo, never made a thread before so I'd thought I'd try. A little bit about me, I recently moved to Italy and I am currently not in school or work (but hope to be next semester) and on top of that perfecting my Italian. This is an experience I've always wanted, but am starting to doubt because things have been pretty bad lately ....my social anxiety has gone through the roof, I'm afraid of people knowing my first language is not Italian and critizing me. I've had some bad experiences with some people even though I always try my best to be kind and talk in their language; I never expect anyone here to cater to me but I still have bad outcomes. The other day I had a horrible interaction with someone and the more these situations happen the more scared I am of the world. I'm desperate for friends and people to interact with, but at the same time I'm deathly afraid of everything in the outside world now to get those things. Sometimes i force myself out of the house to not keep myself locked up. I hope things can go back to normal :/

Hello! I hope you are doing well, i know how hard anxiety attacks can be, and it's much harder when you move to a completely new society where you still dont know how people interact with each other, that's apart from expressing yourself in a new language, it's not easy not even to people with no anxiety, but you have to know that it's only a matter of time before you adapt to this new society, im going through nearly the same experience right now, and it's not that easy to me as well, so you're not alone in this, feel free to contact me i'd like to hear more from you. Remember you can do it! you got all it takes to pass through this, and it's only a matter of time. Stay strong!
