Hi folks,I've been thinking about being the only over-sea foreigner on this board ... and i don't like that.
I'm probably getting too paranoid about this, but
I feel like i'm not fitting in, that this is not the place for me, etc...
May be the hot weather is to blame, depression getting worse because of that etc...nonetheless, i feel judged somehow: i know i shouldn't feel like that: most of you folks have been kind to me, but i'm scared about the stereotype kind of thing.(Do you know what i mean?) My nation is not very well seen world wide (mafia and things like that) so i wonder how you guys are depicting me inside your heads: you know: the italian stereotype: short, fat and black haired holding a guitar in my hand singing "sole mio" and stuff like that.
I know, it's a mind trip (a bad one!).
