I am going to be honest about my life, so that I can get good advices.
I originally am from South Korea, and I had been living in the U.S. for about 10 years.
When I began living in the U.S., it was my first time living in the other society, so I was a total stranger.
But from there, it was very, very difficult for me to make friends, and I felt lonely from high school in the U.S.
I went to college in the U.S., but there, it was difficult for me to make friends as well. I felt very lonely, and this continual experiences of absence of caring developed me a severe social anxiety. Making things worse, at my college years, I had a health problem, so I think this make people stay away from me even worse.
Now I am back to Korea, to get some rest.
But I do plan to go back to the U.S.
I could have hung out with other Korean people, but it was just not my taste, because I wanted to be friends with Americans.
Can you give me some advice on fighting my social anxiety?
