For what it's worth my first experiences with therapy here in the us was just talking and them listening to me talk. That's it. So maybe searching more in your area might mean you could find someone better able to help you.

As far as who to trust and making friends that a difficult one to figure out. I think you've gotten a lot of great advice here and maybe you're throwing out some of it too easily - even if social standards where you are different (I understand that ) you can try to work around them? I don't know where you're from originally (somewhere different I take it) - do you fit in culturally with the people you are around? Is that part of the problem? Is there any way you could start talking to some new people within accepted social standards?
