So practically I’m an international student moved across the country in northern Italy to study abroad I have faced many challenges and one of them is the language barrier and also making friends.It is hard because they all seem to have superficial connections here in Uni and when I tried to make friends they gave me the cold shoulder…idk what to do even those which I considered friends started ignoring me recently? I don’t think I’m that boring but I just stopped trying after being ignored so much maybe I’m also a bit cold because I can’t express myself well enough!!
Like am I the problem

When I moved to a new country for studies, I also struggled with making friends and felt like an outsider at times. It can be disheartening when your attempts to connect with others are met with indifference or even rejection.
It’s important to remember that making friends takes time, and sometimes it requires putting yourself out there even when it feels uncomfortable. As for feeling like you might be the problem, try not to be too hard on yourself.
Have you considered reaching out to other international students who might be experiencing similar challenges? Sometimes, finding a sense of community with others who share your background can be incredibly comforting and empowering.
Also, I want to mention [LightUp](https://discord.gg/MJWegQ2f3j) community to you. It’s a platform where people can share their experiences and connect with others who understand what they’re going through. You might find it helpful to connect with people who can relate to your experiences and offer support and encouragement.
