Hello community, I have hit a major snug ever since I moved here. My confidence in approaching has become quite low. I have barely managed a couple of k-closes with the locals.

I think the main reason is that locals don’t respond well to me (other internationals have had the same experience too). You could go to a party, talk to some people for hours, and next day they pass you as if you have never met(even some Swedish guys do this too). I’ve never experienced anything like this anywhere else I’ve lived. It almost feels like there is a clear line between locals and internationals. The people are quite cold here. I’m an extrovert and this situation has severely lowered my self-confidence.

I wonder how I can rebuild my self-confidence and go back out there. I also need a solid game plan to solve the Swedish problem. I wanna do it right.

Thanks in advance
