Thank you guys :) I find so much support on this forum, it really helps me to get through a lot.

What I find really hard right now is adjusting to new society. I've just moved to a new country three weeks ago and I feel so awkward, so lonely and misplaced. People in my school have known each other for a while and I feel like I am never going to find any friends with whom I can be even a little close. And then the language is an obstacle, too: I don't even say anything, in the fear of not pronouncing it right, making it sound incomprehensible.
Moving to a new country is hard and it usually takes some time to adjust. Just hang in there. If you
find the language an obstacle maybe learning it a little more can help? Don't be too hard on yourself though, its all new for you and people can understand. I hope you find some nice friends, don't give up :)

Good for you! Stand up for yourself! Good job!

Lol, you would have been proud. I think I came off a little rude but this wasn't the first time either. I went down and said, can you please put that back to drop d tunning? And he was all, what!?! And I looked around and counted and said, there's 7 other guitars I can see right now, pick one of them if you can't handle my tunning! I was proud. But seriously there are so many other choices down there but I guess you can't resist a tele, hehehe, I sure can't!

Good, they were more rude than you could have been. I can't believe they were messing with your stuff without asking.

I don't like people using my pedals but I don't mind if they use my guitar or amp, I know they won't play louder than I can but just don't mess with my tunnings because they never put it back and I don't know, thats just not cool, I wouldn't do that.

You really did the right thing here. Way to go!

I used to have a zoom 505 guitar effects pedal (many years ago now) until someone broke it. I shouldnt have let him use it. There are two things I never let people use now, my guitar stuff and my car.

I'm feeling particularly hermit-like right now. I feel I want to talk to people but when I´m in a conversation I feel so inept at expressing myself correctly and at thinking what to respond that it becomes torture. Every sentence coming out of my mouth is a potential failure and my mind floods with self doubt to such a degree that I can´t think clearly anymore. When I'm talking about any subject I am painfully self-conscious about how little I know, and that often paralyses me mentally. At that point I´m so anxious that I feel like running away and avoiding human contact for some time. But of course, I can´t do that. It wouldn't be very polite of me to just run off in mid-sentence; I also don´t want to be perceived as stranger than I might already seem to the person with whom I'm talking. I don´t know what to do.
 
Ugh, my throat hurts like hell.::(:


Do you have any honey you can have a few mouthfuls of? That works wonders when I have a sore throat. So many users in here have had sore throats lately!
I hope your throat is feeling better very soon amanda, get plenty of rest if you are able to.:)

Hang in there.... It is difficult being in a new culture/country, I have tried it a couple of times. Maybe there are things u can do to improve the situation, but sometimes it just needs time to get better.

A whole website dedicated to making fun of people? I mean, it's no wonder some people are afraid of being judged in public. I have never found the humor in laughing at others. Sorry... :/ That's how I really feel. I am not trying to be rude.

You´re right, that kind of website is kind of stupid and unnecessary

I feel good but tired. Just came back from Sydney after recording some drums for our band. I didn't expect to get so much done but I managed to get all the songs we planned recorded, after aiming for about 4 of them, tops. I feel like I actually accomplished something today.

Awesome, Mikey! Well done, you should be proud of yourself :)
