Hi Gencat
I kind of feel like you, somehow
Hi Flours,
You are right. In my country of origin never happened to me. Then I moved to the US and started happening. Then I thought it was a cultural issue. Then for work I had to deal with different nationalities and go to different places and continue happening. Then I realized somehow I transpired my stress and insecurity and the main source of that was language. I learned English late in life and I was very stressed about it all the time.
On the other had I recently stop talking to many people because their unwanted advice irritates me a lot. They are judgemental about my depression and I do not want to put up with their opinions. This is not the only reason why I isolate myself but it is a big deal of it.
