The following is related to this topic indirectly. For the language part, when you say you don't speak the language well, does it mean that you cannot manage a conversation, or you can manage but you have an accent?

For me, the language is a problem when it comes to speaking to others. I can manage (i.e., I can deliver my message), but I have an accent, too. These two things, not speaking the language perfectly (not using the correct words+not using the correct grammar all the time), accompanied with an accent, is something contributing for me to be more isolated. Like when I buy a ticket for a movie, I think that all people are listening to me, and make fun of me in their heads (some did in my face), not because of my nervousness, but because of my language, which makes me nervous.

I bet women like your accent. I am yet to meet a man who didn't like mine. lol Maybe because I live in multicultural area no one cares. Bet you people who might laugh speak only one language and you speak at least 2. Screw them
