I moved from my country 2 years ago and I thought that it would totally help me but it didn't. I believed that a brand new start would allow me to be different without people judging me for changing, but I actually never changed. I'm becoming more of a hermit every day and no one in my family seems to notice, they just think that I like to be at home. I don't even have a friend, nothing.
Back in my country I never noticed the extent of my problem because I was still in high school, following a comfortable routine every day, plus, I had some friends that I would go out with from time to time (if they succeeded in convincing me to go out, which didn't happen often, I must say).
I don't know, in my case, it wasn't how I thought it would be, but at the same time, had I stayed in my country I probably would have gone through the same situation sooner or later. School was what kept me in contact with everyone, it was a comfortable and familiar place with people that I knew. Once that finished I had to deal with new situations (and in my case a new culture, new language) and I still don't feel like I belong here or that people will accept me completely. I'm always waiting for someone to insult me because of my ethnicity.
So yeah, moving, not good for me.
and I have to say this all the time...sorry if I made any grammar mistakes, english is not my native language.
