I'm feeling lonely but I'm afraid to talk to people, especially new ones

I'm moving to another country in 3 months for my graduate study. this country is about a 17-hour flight from my hometown. there are only a few people from my country studying there. I start to feel worried about my life there. I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt well to manage my academic and daily life. And because my friends don't go to the same campus and city as me, I'm feeling more lonely than ever.
I am not an extroverted person when it comes to meeting new people. I have met some incoming students from my country to study with me on that campus, but I'm scared to be open to them. I often feel anxious about little things and I don't want them to know about this. I think communicate with them awkwardly.
I think I'm also the oldest one compared to other incoming students from my country. I feel like I have the responsibility to be the most mature person when I'm with them. and I just made a wrong decision, it's about an essential part of life there. now I don't know whom I can ask for advice.
Sometimes I also have very little energy to do anything. my brain freezes, it's really difficult to make decisions. it's always exhausting to finish everything. I feel like I'm already left behind.

No one hates me as much as me
I have finally deteriorated to the lowest point in my life. I hate myself so much that I now bathe and brush my teeth once a week. I don't take care of my healt...
Honestly I think it’s ok to be alone, and I don’t think you’re forced the moral obligation to act as the oldest one, but rather one as a student to the campus.
I don’t ever fully know what you’re going through, and probably never will, however, I think you need a foundation . Something to return you to yourself when you get lost, and when you finally are a little more solid, build on it. Find out a schedule, or something consistent in this world of inconsistency, then you can fine out what works for you and what doesn’t , and then adjust accordingly. I think when you find the balance of what you can or can’t do, you can build and grow as a person.
Thank you for sharing this fellow person
