I moved to another country almost 5 months ago, to get my dream job as a video game artist. I suffer from social anxiety so I knew from the beginning that it would be terribly hard... but I couldn't reject this opportunity.
Since then, I've been struggling a lot to connect with my coligues. They are great people, fun and caring, but I can only treat them with indifference because of how much panic it gives me to talk to them most of the time. I always have the most awkward replies, and that's only in case I manage to even articulate a word...
I feel terrible when I see myself suffering so much in such a nice place. I just want to belong and feel like a normal person but I'm such a weirdo... It breaks my heart to see everyone making efforts to include me in their conversations and all I can give them back is silence, when I actually care a lot and want to talk to them so bad. I don't want my life to be like this. Really needed to put it into words, sorry for the long post.

Trying to break comfort zones

weird is normal. I suggest doing 5 weird things a day that you wouldn't normally do. Like saying something completely random to someone to initiate conversation. Or asking someone to hangout without fear of rejection.
