First: sorry man. That all sucks hard.
Depending on where you wanna go, your English is already fine, so you would have no trouble in most European countries, as most of us speak it. The rest will come.
I feel sorry for you. Life can suck. Without knowing where your destination is, I can only give hints for things I know work HERE (Germany). Like, get help! Professional and maybe some support-group. Maybe you're not "awkward" but just different. That's not bad.
I work voluntarily in a shelter for people who got fucked by life. Mostly by other people. I have heard my fair share of lifes going down the drain seemingly. But most actually do manage to live comfortably. With help.
One universal help is: radical acceptance. Basically means: You cannot change some things, so dont waste your time worrying about them. Focus on what you CAN change and try to do it. Sounds simple, but isn't.
Hard to give better tips, not even knowing where you are right now and what your realistic options are.
Out of curiosity... Ukrainian?
Danke :)
I am in Germany. It seems Englisch is not something that is valued in any official place:( The Jobcenter is, probably, the worst of them all, when it comes to helping people who are not speaking Deutsch yet.
I once was trying to help my friend with first Termin in their Jobcenter, since they do not speak neither English nor Deutsch. Their Berator had good Englisch (at least by my standards) but she refused to drop her Deutsch for solid 10 minutes, even despite the fact they we did not understand 90 % of her words. Seems to be systematic issue :(
So it is either that or only learn this language, which appears to be quite the task... Aber ich liebe Deutschland.
But I do not know where to find one, given my limited language knowledge (And while I speak 3 Sprache, neither of them is that valued here)..
That and just getting increasingly exhausted, especially Sprachkurs. Your language seems to be really complex and nuanced :(
Could you tell me more?
Huh.. You are the second person to tell me that. Or drei? Maybe i just never learned how to just... Accept things :( Being unable to fix something is scary...
Yep. For better or worse, but that who am I. Ich komme aus der Ukraine.
Currently staying in Deutschland thanks to Paragraph 24, which, as far I understand, was extended today for Ukrainians.
And thank you... Vier? For replying and reading all of that. Vielen dank
