There is SO much I want to comment on here, but then it would probably 'out-space' your post.
So I'll go with the most important of all, being - PLEASE STOP being so hard on yourself!
I know we've only spoken in passing in a few LWS messages, but I think you are such a COOL, FUNNY, DOWN-TO-EARTH, K. I. N. D. SOUL, and the world would ROCK with more people like YOU in it! Your style is awesome, your attitude is awesome, your talent is awesome, YOU. ARE. AWESOME!!! PLEASE be kinder to your AWESOME self!
I think you're also extremely brave to move to a town where you don't know the language, and if anything, it's more likely that, than you personally, people may struggle to get to know, so don't take it personally if you feel difficulty in communication with strangers.
Side note: Where the hell do you work that it's full of such AWFUL people?
Finally, if ever you feel lonely, or your mental health is at a low, you're more than welcome to connect with me for a little human interaction. I do sometimes go off the radar when I'm struggling healthwise, but I will always come back as soon as I see your message. Holler at me on my personal, non-writing-related Twitter account and we can chat: @ESintheP. Now, wear whatever the hell your FIRST instinct, the natural you, full of Elton & Bowie-Esque glamour, tells you to. Go forth, and be the GREAT fucking individual you are (I swore, so you KNOW I'm serious, because I'm not a potty mouth by nature, only when it's called for), and don't you let anybody, ESPECIALLY you, tell you otherwise!!!
