People can accept us as us to whatever extent they choose, we needn't explain what makes us us.

You are finding the move to the new environment has sapped your energy for the time being and that doesn't mean you have to tell anyone one of the factors involved is how to adapt your health care.

Another thing - you don't have to behave as lively there as you used to in your home country. It's up to others to have flexible expectations as to our chosen style.

If it's for work you moved, save your energy for your work which is what you moved for.

If people are going to insist on creating destructive gossip about us we are not going to solve any problems by going into contortions or trying to manipulate them.

To ourself be true, and keep it simple.
