First of all I have to mention that English is not my first language so sorry for my grammar.
Well, I’m from Central America and we are very significant for being social and open with the people, I was like that social butterfly everyone know who I was because also my hair was different from everyone so I was know as “the Shakira curly girl” (tbh I didn’t like to much for being known as a Shakira but here the girls have straights long black hairs) Then I moved to Sweden and as you guys know Scandinavian culture are the everything less than social people I was living with an aunt that her advise always was be like them if you want to have success in this country -I know it’s stupid but I believed her I was 19 with all a lot of dreams in my baggage- I felt so bad I got depressed and I flew back after 4 years. Now I’m trying to be social again but people here look me at weirdo, I don’t know how to speak in a way that couldn’t sound like I’m not mad or being social. I spent a lot time at home because of this, I dont when the people is joking or are serious. I feel totally lost from my own culture, does everyone has been through to this? I need advises. I’ve been searching people with social anxiety or specialist but here it’s not common that 😞 actually I’ve heard when people tell my mom that I’ve changed and now I’m so asocial, “why she’s so weird if you’re always happy” and that’s hurts me! But honestly I don’t understand the social rules anymore.
